Could the Samsung Galaxy S5 yet come with a fingerprint scanner in 2014?
The Motorola ATRIX 4G had one on top of the unit. The Apple iPhone 5s has it embedded in the home button, and the HTC One max features it on the back cover. Now, there is speculation that the Samsung Galaxy S5 might sport one as well. If you haven’t guessed by now, we are talking about fingerprint scanners, the latest ‘don’t need it but really want it‘ hardware tool found on a select group of smartphones.
The CEO of fingerprint scanning firm Fingerprint Cards, Johan Carlstrom, still reckons that Samsung is going big on touch scanning in 2014.
Carlstrom told Reuters that he “expects” Samsung to launch one or possibly two phones with swipe or touch fingerprint sensors next year, adding that “our goal is to be selected as one of their sensor suppliers in 2014”.
