Nokia 9 PureView fingerprint scanner fooled by chewing gum packet

The Nokia 9 PureView is one of the high anticipated smartphones of this year and while all eyes are on the 5-lens camera system of the smartphone, a user took to Twitter to highlight that the fingerprint lock of the phone can be easily fooled. The Nokia 9 PureView comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner and multiple users took to Twitter to complain that it can be unlocked by unregistered fingerprints. This means any fingerprint can unlock the device. In fact, not just fingerprints, apparently the device got unlocked after scanning a chewing gum pack.
A Twitter handle named Decoded Pixel posted a video to prove his claim and wrote, “The phone can be unlocked using a chewing gum packet or someone else’s finger. Even unlocked with a coin or leather gloves.”
