The fingerprint scanner has occupied several positions on phones. From sitting on the rear to moving to the side or to the bottom of the screen and even under the display, we have practically seen it all. However, this new device puts it in an unusual position, one that is actually not as impractical as you might think.

The phone is manufactured by DOOV, a Chinese phone manufacturer, and it has the model number 20200519. According to images included in its TENAA listing, the phone has its fingerprint scanner housed alongside the rear cameras.

That doesn’t sound unusual until you see that its cameras are actually not positioned in the middle but are on the left side of the device in a very similar arrangement to that of Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra. So along with the triple rear cameras, the rectangular housing is also home to the fingerprint scanner.

While the position is definitely unusual, users with large hands should not find it too difficult to use as the index finger can actually reach the sensor For those with smaller hands, it is going to need a bit of stretching. This is because the DOOV 20200519 is pretty tall. It measures 179 x 87.3 x 9.6 millimeters no thanks to its 7.12-inch display.

Coming to the specs, the device has a resolution of 1080 x 2244 and the display appears to have a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera. There is a 2.3GHz octa-core processor under the hood and it is paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage.

While the attached image shows that the phone has three rear cameras, TENAA mentions only two (16MP + 2MP or 21MP + 2MP). It also says the total number of cameras are three, counting the selfie camera too. Another weird thing about the phone is that it runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat which is pretty strange for a device that is launching in 2020.

DOOV rounds it off with a 6000mAh battery which should last pretty more than a day with minimum usage.
