Prior to the kicking off of the IFA 2015 being held in Berlin next week, where the device is probably being unveiled, the company or should I say Huawei's VP Richard Yu has already started teasing the new device. He hinted that the smartphone can be unlocked by other method(s) than just fingerprint recognition.

The news in fact revolves around the fingerprint sensor which many believe is a five-function fingerprint scanner. This will surely make the device a unique one if compared with the devices with the same hardware with a lesser functionality.

To guess the functionality of the device, one would definitely say it would unlock the phone, may be mobile payments, lock certain content but beyond that there wouldn't be anything left to guess, but to wait for the announcement of the device on 2nd September.

Another highlighted feature of the phone would be the much teased gesture-based feature called "Incredible Touch."
