Samsung seeks to democratize mobile payments. But for this it is necessary that the related technologies are available on more devices. The Korean giant would just integrate a fingerprint reader into all future Galaxy A.
Today we see the emergence of three major axes in the Samsung strategy. First the Exynos chipsets, which seem to attract more manufacturers (since a BlackBerry could be provided). Then the development of the Tizen ecosystem to take a distance vis-à-vis Android and Google, definitely take hold of its mobile OS and create a more structured bridge between smartphones and other product lines brand (TV, camera, shows connected). Finally Samsung Pay, blatant response to the launch of apple pay.
The Galaxy A8 of the fingerprint reader might equip A full range of Samsung
A generalized fingerprint reader?
We know from previous leaks that Samsung wants to push forward Samsung Pay now confined to high-end models of the brand, the Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge / Edge + and S6 Galaxy Note 5. A development that could include some competing brands, but which inevitably go through a descent range of the system. A new rumor seems to go in this direction. It comes from a colleague working for the Italian portal HDBlog , Antonio Monaco. On his Twitter account, he posted a message that grinds 2016 A Galaxy could all carry a fingerprint reader.
This information is not surprising in itself. She has also been partially confirmed by photographs published in recent weeks, the Galaxy here to A3 and A5 and A7 there for the Galaxy. All photos show a mechanical button under the screen is a trademark of Samsung. And even if this button is not necessarily with such a sensor, future Galaxy A3 and A5 are both NFC-enabled, without a convenient wireless connection to make contactless payments. Also note that the Galaxy A8, formalized this summer, has two facilities (fingerprint reader and NFC).
More services for better market value?
A Galaxy are clearly terminals that impress with their common chassis (including declination in 2016 should approach the design of the Galaxy S6) and not by their technical performance. However, NFC and fingerprint reader participate in an upmarket precisely that Samsung wants not merely to increase sales and profitability of these terminals mid-range, but also more broadly to expand value-added services its offer. So there is some logic behind this rumor is certainly not to be unfounded (at least partially) and which is confirmed by another that seemed to say the same thing.
