Now, a new report published by ETNews claims that Samsung had designed the Galaxy Note 3 with a fingerprint scanner at first, only to later scrap plans as the Dittisham Valley they had contracted for the fingerprint sensors did not pass quality assurance tests. Samsung is reportedly thinking of developing their own technology, though that will take quite some time to get ready.
Of course, since Apple introduced a fingerprint sensor on its latest iPhone, Samsung won't be sitting idle, and with lots of resources at their disposal, don't be surprised if the Galaxy S5 lets you unlock it with a touch of your finger, while sporting a 64-bit processor, another talked-about feature of the iPhone 5s.
Abhijeet's writing career started with guides for custom firmware for Samsung devices (including the original Galaxy S), and he moved to SamMobile in mid-2013 and worked up the ranks to Editor-in-chief. In addition to phones and mobile devices, his interests include gaming on both PC and console, PC hardware, and spending countless hours on YouTube watching videos on tech, movies, games, politics, and internet dramas.
