From the fingerprint readers on the physical home button, then fingerprint readers on the back cover of the phone, then side-mounted fingerprint scanners, to under-screen optical fingerprint scanners and the latest ultrasonic fingerprint scanners, one might think we have reached the peak of “fingerprint scanners”. But Realme begs to differ with its new under-screen fingerprint scanners in its upcoming Realme GT2 series.

Realme’s General Vice President and Chief Officer of Realme China, Mr. Chase Xu Qi, has gone to Weibo recently to share with fans about the latest fingerprint scanning technology that Realme will equip in the upcoming Realme GT2 series.

From the screenshots shared on Weibo, we notice some sort of Heart Rate Monitor menu page on-screen and the instruction seems to suggest to the user to put their thumb on the fingerprint scanner to measure their heart rate. This feature heart rate scanning feature via the fingerprint scanner seems like a unique and interesting idea, but time will tell after release, whether it will be a highlight or be just a mere gimmick.

The fingerprint scanner announcement was later supported by Digital Chat Station, a popular technology leakster from China, whereby he confirmed on Weibo that the Realme GT2 Pro is indeed not using your normal conventional optical fingerprint scanner.

The leakster also informs that the Realme GT2 Pro will be using Corning Gorilla Victus for better scratch and drop protection for users’ peace of mind.

In other news, the Realme GT2 Pro’s design has been officially revealed by the company several days back, but leaked renders of the Realme GT2 Pro from months ago may not be inaccurate after all, as the latest leaks reveal that the Realme GT2 Pro may come in 3 different editions.

The one leaked render showing the Realme GT2 Pro having a long horizontal protruding camera bump may be the “Photographer Edition” of the Realme GT2 Pro. The “Photographer Edition” is said to feature a triple camera setup whereby each camera has been upgraded further compared to the standard edition, to cater to professional photographers.

The Realme GT2 series will be announced officially on January 4, 2022.
