              Just shut up guys!, 16 Jun 2017Okay, lots of complaints right now due to the galaxy s5 "ha... moreSwipe down fingerprint is only on the home button. The 'guide' on the screen itself is not scanning your finger on the S5. Lol. It is there for the purpose telling you where to swipe your finger. Only the home button is doing the scanning.

                Polius, 16 Jun 2017Cheapo chinese company? Vivo is under BBK company. I doubt ... moreNo... not saying vivo is cheap, in fact vivo has quite heft when it come to price, but just emphasising the word "cheap" that people always associate with "chinese brand"

                      There is a new way that Apple will be using, that's far more advanced and has a 6th step that also reads partial DNA to confirm http://www.growupventures.com/patenta.html

                                This is not a disruptive technology that will change smartphones. I could care less. I prefer iris scanner on my 950XL. It isn't perfect nor as fast as the Samsung one, though samsung one seems to be defeated with some work.

                                Authentication is still merely convenience. You still get the same screen with more power, more ram and run the same apps and do the same things.
