I find back of the phone scanner placement more comfortable than where Apple put it. And ideal place for me would be the side of the phone but I don't see how that would be possible.

Since i got iPhone 5S i havent opened my phone any other way than using touch ID, its great feature and millions are using it. Why not its fastest and easiest way to unlock your phone its even faster than using phone without passcode.

                I understand why samsung might think this eye scanner, because they doesnt have good place to add fingerprint censor just like those other android phones which have it back of the phone, because they cant put it in front of the phone like apple did where its most natural place.

                      They should have a different design for their flagship.I mean a design to make their flagship be distinguished from their low and midrange phone. If you see a glass back fone definitely it's a Sony flagship.that's what I mean.

I am not a Samsung hater. I just hate the way they do business. My friend just bought an S4 not long ago. in 2 months it's garbage. They will again put it as much gimmicks to make you buy. Latest screen, Latest this and that. I think the latest we need is battery technology to support these gimmicks.
