Samsung Galaxy S5: a fingerprint reader and a better screen - Le Figaro

The new Samsung smartphone will be unlocked by fingerprint recognition, such as the iPhone and the HTC One 5s Max. It will be unveiled next week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Galaxy S5 obey your finger. The new Samsung smartphone will be “equipped with a fingerprint sensor,” said Monday SamMobile. It will be located on the main button, although other information reported a digital sensor available on the screen. Fingerprint recognition is already used on the iPhone and the HTC One 5s Max but “no mobile devices [Apple and HTC] are fully uses the potential of the sensor,” said the website specializing in news Samsung. SamMobile has not provided information about a possible eye recognition system discussed in January by Bloomberg.

To save his digital identity first time, it will drag all of his finger, from base to summit on the sensor. After that to use the system effectively, it will put his finger straight and slide at a moderate speed. Just like on the iPhone 5s, it will be possible to unlock the phone only with its footprint. It will always be possible to use a PIN in addition. Samsung has also added the ability to record eight different footprints and assign each a specific task, according SamMobile. For example, the Galaxy S5 adds the impression of a child that it can only Angry Birds. HTC Max One also has this feature to assign a task based on the finger.

other revelations came in the wake. Galaxy S5 will have a screen of 5.2 inches and a resolution of better quality. The battery would be improved and S5 have a 16 megapixel camera, according to reports from Bloomberg and Pocket-link. Two versions of the smartphone may emerge according to The New Tribe. There would be a “Standard” edition and a “Bonus” edition, which would focus on the quality differences processors and resolution.

Samsung wants to do better with the Galaxy S4. Its latest smartphone has sold 63.5 million copies since its release in April. In an interview with Bloomberg, Young Hee Lee, vice president of Samsung’s mobile division, admitted in January that the market reaction was not quite at that Samsung hoped. It explains the disappointment of consumers by the design of S4, too similar to S3. To revive interest in its high-end smartphone, Samsung also relies on the development of connected gadgets such as the Galaxy Gear 2 shows, which will be released simultaneously. The company wants to increase sales by adding functions such as measurement of stress and heart rate recording.
