FINGERPRINT SCANNER I would like to answer an extremely common question. It is widely known that the US model does not support the use of the fingerprint scanner, so I know many people are wondering whether the scanner will work on this international model while in the US. The answer is yes. I live in the US and the fingerprint sensor is indeed supported on this model. A pleasing discovery, considering the difference in price between this model and the US one. sorry can't type chinese on this computer. so is this phone a good buy compare to other phones around $500's? amazon sells for 535$ thanks https://www.amazon.com/Sony-G8142-Unlocked-International-Warranty/dp/ B071ZDMFJ5/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518485002&sr=8-4&keywords=Sony+Xperia+XZ+ Premium+G8142+64GB#customerReviews
