The Galaxy S6 Home key may be taller for the fingerprint sensor?

23 February, 2015
The taller key will supposedly enable Samsung to use a non-swipe fingerprint sensor.

I have an S5. And it is so-so smartphone. Cheap plastic ring on the side, stupid usb 3.0 flap, awful front camera, rather big bezels for a flagship, but it is waterproof so I can understand, awful, just awful fingerprint sensor with maybe 50% accuracy and unnatural swipe gesture. Device was stable with KitKat but with Lollipop is much worse. It freezes every 5,6 days, so I need to take battery out, battery drain is obvious, and browser chrashes from time to time. I had LG G2 before and iPhone 4S also before LG. They were better in almost every possible way. LG is slick, small bezels, great front cam, slightly worse rear cam than on S5, speed is the same if not better on LG, Samsung has better screen but just a little...
iPhone had shitty battery and small screen but besides that it was a monster. Fast, good cam, super slick, great design and build quality, glass/mwtal combo is great, small but heavy which I liked, never lagged...

So bassicly, S5 is ok device but I expected better. Hope S6 wull do it

    AnonD-361306, 23 Feb 2015It is not copying... If any idea is good, then why shouldn'... moreExactly. And Apple didn't patent it, and by the way, they didn't invent it like many iFans wish and think.
    Mercedes invented the airbag, car seat, ABS etc etc etc. Now there is no car out there which haven't got these features.
    So why not, if it's a good idea/thing.

              Now in regards to what some people like to say about Samsung copying Apple...I saw a comment recently which shows that Apple is the real copier. Here is the comment quote and quote:

              copy? you mean like Apple did with the M8? and the Galaxy Note? and NFC? and the smartwatch? and reachability? and widgets? and the notification bar? etc etc etc

                  AnonD-361306, 23 Feb 2015It is not copying... If any idea is good, then why shouldn'... moreThat is a good point. The term "copying" is very misleading. I won't say Samsung copied iPhone in this regard. It is just that this finger scan is a new trending idea so everyone is jumping on it.

                  For example, if a drug store seller saw his rival was selling a new drug that people really need, he would probably bring that drug to his store--butfrom different providers. Would this be considered copying?

                  While some saidyes and others said no, it can be quite a burden when we are trying to judge if this act should be considered copying,regardless.

                    Motorola Atrix had it 2 years before the iPhone 5S was released : http://ibnlive.in.com/news/motorola-atrix-had-a-fingerprint-scanner-two-years-before-iphone-5s/421125-11.html
