Huawei P9 lite fingerprint support

Do you know if Huawei P9 lite does support Fingerprint?
Is it possible to use Android 6.0 Fingerprint API or is it supported through some custom proprietary API (Huawei SDK)?

We are evaluating to buy some smartphones and we would like to know how this feature is supported on this specific device.

The P9 and P9-lite both do support fingerprints.

It seems development for the fingerprint scanner seems to run through the standard Marshmallow API. I'm basing that on:

  • No fingerprint hardware SDKs listed by Huawei
  • No fingerprint API listed by Huawei
  • PayPal fingerprint support was only announced when Android Marshmallow Fingerprint API launched
