          Apple will be releasing phones with larger screens soon so Samsung fans will be saying that they are copying :)

          Using metal is a good thing for Samsung, but the tiles and now this fingerprint sensor shows that they are a stereotypical eastern company that copies other designs and passes them off as original.

          Their TVs are great value though.....

                    Remember when 10 years ago Apple was nothing but then tried to improve the PDA and it worked? Ahh, those were the beautiful Symbian days B) Also i have no Apple products, nor do most of my friends (1 has a 3G and some galaxy at the moment), yet there is a 20% if not more chance that 20% of all fruitPhones and fruitPads have more than 1 Samsung part. And las i checked they made decent TVs in the past and are still known to be one of the best at it.

So now why is Samsung STILL copying Apple in making metal phones and gold phones and now with a fingerprint scanner. If they are sooo smart with the INTERNAL STUFF why can't they finally make an Operating System so they don't have to use OTHER PEOPLE'S PARTS?

                        They skip it because there are predators who will use there heads for iris scanner and hack the internal system to trace where samsung's tech lab is...and aliens wont allow them thats why samsung and other companies are using aliens to kill all predators LOL

                          No Need to Say Anything. Samsung always Looks Same. Samsung need some rest. So definitly S5 must be a huge failure.

                              ratGT, 20 Jan 2014Wow... Samsung is already suffering 2 HUGE ego-blows from A... moreI agree with you my dear.

                              Remember like 2 weeks after the Gold Iphone Samsung made a Gold S4? Now look at the leaks for S5. One model in plastic another in Metal. now with a fingerprint scanner. Sounds familiar?

                              Usually i never say oh this company copies this company etc etc etc because that's how every company works... but for this occasion isn't it way too obvious?

                                Why is this news? It's logic they will come with a fingerprint scanner. Apple has a phone with it, HTC has a phone with it. Samsung can't stay behind. But it's nothing 'new', again. If they'd come with an iris scanner, that would be something new. But apparently they won't. So why it's news? Are there still people who believe that the S5 won't come with an inbuilt fingerprint scanner?

Samesuck is not creating for Apple any other than JUST it's A7 processor. NOTHING more. And do you want to know what the BIG irony is? It's creating for Apple a 64bit processor since August, which they don't have on their own top of the line Galaxy phones! And ohhhh they are jealous of Apple because of that! They and their buddy Qualcomm panicked SO much, that they hurried to announce that their future phones (2014) will have 64bit processors too. That's AT LEAST 7-8 months after Apple! http://gizmodo.com/samsung-our-next-gen-phones-will-have-64-bit-processor-1298925313
