Samsung Galaxy S5 - no iris but fingerprint scanner

20 January, 2014
The next Samsung flagship to premiere with a fingerprint scanner instead of an eye one.

Sort by:

why sveryone speaking about this so "loud" ?????? the first dual core in market since 2 1/2 years ago have the fingerprint, i have one of those and works always perfect and always unlocks my phone only to me, i tried this many times with my friends and only work with me... and the phone was the atrix (yes the first atrix) and now the same tech is using by htc and apple and is "the boom" ... so lol... really? now all the users witn smartphones are "hipster" and don't remember the past? so shame...

            Are people still not tired of smartphones? I already am. I now just treat smartphones as tools instead of toys to brag to other people. So it doesn't matter if it doesn't have an octacore CPU, a 4k display, or whatever as long as it has an Apple logo and it gets the job them. That's the most important thing.

              Kush, 21 Jan 2014Amazingly I do all this you've mentioned with $100 samsung ... moreYes, that's "all" I use it for. If you're happy with your smartphone, then that's fantastic, you don't need to spend more than that.

              I prefer the quality of an iPhone, and I can do everything I desire on it. Win/win, isn't it?

                Another feature that will break. And no Snapdragon 805. Oh no wait, there will be +20 different versions that will be released...so maybe...

Although i dont think its completely useless, they should be focusing on more important things. Like creating a more efficient quad core processor rather than an efficient energy sucking 8 core, that no apps will fully utilize.

                            At least those paid trolls are working for a reason - earn money.

                            You in the other hand is just a blinded samsung sheep.

                            Samsung already have ruined reputation from copying htc/nokia/apple/sony.. they really need more people like you... fight for them for free.

                              The iTech Media, die for, to show that somebody cares about their iBS-"magic" fingerprint scanner.

                              LOL
                              They invented this "iris" lie, now is next one.
                              More are coming.
                              LOL

                                I think that the coming challenge should focus on battery talk & standby time and also reduced weight.

                                    No, Samsung didn't "pays" me to talk like that. That's what broke college students and poor blog writers are for. Unless the person is a fanboy who volunteers his time. Then Samsung classifies them as being a member of Samsung Technology Understanding Program International Department. But, Samsung just calls them by their acronym.
