TECHNOLOGY NEWS - Rumors about the eyes scanner feature that will be included on the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone has been blown away by the new report stating that Samsung would replace it with a fingerprint scanner. The new report was coming from The Korea Herald.
"Among the different types of biometric sensors that Samsung is testing for its Galaxy S5, the tech giant will go for fingerprint authentication rather than unintuitive user experience of iris recognition." quoted from unnamed sources. While Samsung's own party has yet to give any response about the report through its official announcement.
The new report might be true, considering the Apple iPhone 5S and HTC One Max have come up with a fingerprint scanner. While LG is also currently reported to be preparing a fingerprint scanner feature for its LG G3 smartphone, which is planned to be released this year.
In addition, Sambon Precision and Electronics Co & Biometric companies IriTech Inc., both denied the rumors about a partnership with Samsung for eyes scanner installation on Galaxy S5.
Well, based on all the facts; Samsung seems to be placing the fingerprint scanner technology in its Galaxy S5, so that it can compete in the market of smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. If not, then the Galaxy S5 may stand alone with its eye scanner technology without an obvious market. It could be Samsung doesn't want to take the risk of market losses if Galaxy S5 keep using the eyes scanning feature.
By looking at the popularity of the Apple iPhone 5S on the market, then Samsung will probably assign fingerprint scanner feature for its Galaxy S5. In addition, the fingerprint scanner technology looks easier and practical usage compared to the eyes scanner.
So, let's wait for the official news from Samsung about its Galaxy S5. Which of the scanners to be installed on Galaxy S5?
