Samsung Galaxy S6: a new fingerprint sensor more effective … – ZDNet France

The next Samsung Galaxy S6 should further improve safety by providing a new fingerprint sensor, understands the ever knowledgeable SamMobile. It must be said that this component in the S5 has quickly shown some ergonomic limitations. The obligation to move his finger indeed often causes errors.

The new sensor, integrated into the Home button on the machine, would be comparable to that used on the iPhone 6. Affix his finger would be enough . But this new technology does not offer a 100% safety.

Hackers consistently show that security was only very relative
  and explain how to bypass this protection by photographing
 fingerprints before reproducing them identically on
 thin film of plastic, enough to fool the process
 most sensors on the market.

If the principle, the sensors were effectively bypassed,
 many at the time had argued that the method was
 difficult to apply in a real context. A year later, Chaos
 Computer Club has been critical to the word and the challenge
  : The hacker Starbug, already the author of the first demonstrations of 2013
 succeeded this time to recover fingerprints from the Minister
 German defense Ursula von der Leygen based only
 on high quality photos taken at a press conference
 by reconstructing the fingerprint using VeriFinger software,
 software freely distributed in commerce.
 

According to recent rumors, the Galaxy S6 is equipped with an all-metal shell (like Alpha), a small
  revolution for the giant but a mandatory revolution to align
  with high quality standards of competition. Mostly it
 could largely be inspired by the Galaxy Edge
  who has done much talking. It would thus be provided with one or two edges
 curved dynamic, which would be posted information
 additional.

But that S6 is available in two versions according to Business Insider. The first would board the famous Hull
 “Unibody” and the second, a curved screen. Both smartphones
 could be unveiled at the upcoming Mobile World Congress
 Barcelona, ​​which opened in March.

In addition to this design, the latest rumors, the S6 is equipped with a 5.5-inch display (2560 x 1440 pixels), d a chip
 64-bit Exynos 7420 eight cores, a GPU Mali-T760, supported by 3 GB
 RAM. We find Android 5.0, 32 GB of storage and a 20 megapixel camera.
