Fingerprint sensors on smartphones nowadays are common, even appearing on mid-range ones. While Huawei's fingerprint sensor usually appears on the back, most place the feature up front on the home button or even the side like Sony and Honor, there are rumours regarding that Huawei is trying to do it differently by putting it under the front glass.

@Mocha Socialist Workers from Weibo suspects that Huawei will be working on the very first locally produced embedded fingerprint sensor instead of just following the usual front home button version of it. Putting it under the front glass may actually seem impractical, but maybe they have some tricks up their sleeves, in this case, perhaps the company might use Qualcomm's Sense ID Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner which allows the scanner to work on thin materials built from glass or something similar.

Should Huawei succeed in implementing this, Huawei P10 will be the first device to do so. Stay tuned for more news at Technave.com.
