Samsung Galaxy S5 to feature on-screen fingerprint scanner and keys

Samsung might have sent out invitations for its "UnPacked 5" event, where the company is said to unveil its alleged Galaxy S5 flagship smartphone at the sidelines of MWC 2014 on February 24 in Barcelona, however, new leaks related to the Galaxy S5 seem to shed more details about the yet-to-be-announced device.

Itechaddict in a report, citing an insider from Samsung India R&D, has claimed that the South Korean major has abandonned the physical button on the front panel of Galaxy S5, and instead chosen to go with onscreen buttons. The quoted source also said the long-rumoured fingerprint scanner has been integrated the into the Galaxy S5's display panel.

The report claims that the fingerprint scanner has been implemented in a way that the fingerprint sensor is on the screen. The report does not share any other details about the technology used in the fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S5, but we expect the feature to work like fingerprint prank apps that are available on the Google Play store.

The report informs that Samsung has used a similar method to implement the fingerprint scanner on the S5, to what the company has been using to implement the S Pen stylus interface. According to the report, the company has been using an electromagnetic field layer to realise the stylus input.

Samsung is also rumoured to include multi-hovering touch technology on its next flagship smartphone. The multi-hovering touch technology is said to be prepared by Synaptics tech, which is expected to enhance the finger-hovering accuracy of the screen input. Notably, the Synaptics' new technology is said to detect movements from 15mm to 30mm above the display and could detect more than one finger at a time.

In addition, Sammobile has also purportedly leaked the new S Voice UI interface which is said to debut on the long-rumoured Galaxy S5. As per Sammobile, the new alleged S Voice interface is now faster compared to the last version. Further, the S Voice UI interface has reportedly been revamped, though there are no major colour scheme and aesthetic changes.

Earlier on Wednesday, the anticipated Samsung Galaxy S5's specifications were puportedly leaked via popular Russian tipster for smartphone devices, Eldar Murtazin.

According to the tipster, the Galaxy S5 is said to sport a 5.24-inch AMOLED screen with a QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution; two storage variants- 32GB/64GB; two processor variants - Exynos 6 and Snapdragon 805, and a 3200mAh battery.

The optics rumoured for the Galaxy S5 include a 16-megapixel rear camera, and a 3.2-megapixel front-facing shooter.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear is an Android-based smartwatch produced by Samsung Electronics. Unveiled during a Samsung Unpacked event in Berlin on September 4, 2013, the device serves as a companion for all Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets which run Android 4.3; on launch, this included the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition.
The Galaxy Gear was released to a generally negative reception; it was criticized for the lackluster design of its interface, the inadequate implementation of some of its software, the few apps available, its poor battery life, and its dependency on Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active

Want the Samsung Galaxy S4 but are too worried about dropping it in the bath or flinging it into a sand dune? Well, you can either not do either of those things, or buy the Samsung Galaxy S4.
With a powerful IP67 water and dust proof case the Active is far more hardy than a lot of the top end devices currently on the market.
The only other handset which can match the rugged credentials of the S4 Active is the Sony Xperia Z, (and Z1 successor, of course) although those being covered in glass front and back makes them feel far more fragile.
While the 5-inch display may not sport the Super AMOLED technology of the S4, the full HD resolution still makes for an excellent visual experience which is only really bettered by its namesake, the LG G2 and the HTC One.

Quick verdict:

If you're in the market for a super powerful smartphone which you can take on extreme activities, swimming and in the bath then sure the Galaxy S4 Active is the best around, although that's a pretty limited market.
And hey, chuck it in a bucket of water and your mates will be seriously impressed (honest).
We've only got this phone so far down on the list as we don't think huge amounts of users will be desperate to add the heft to an S4 to make it a bit more life proof, and that isn't going to be something most people will worry about.
But if you want the security of a phone that can withstand a few knocks but doesn't scrimp on the specs or usability, then you could do a lot worse than checking out the S4 Active.

Samsung Galaxy S3

With the Samsung Galaxy S4 (and friends) now launched, the S3 has predictably fallen down the rankings thanks to there being a better phone to recommend.
But don't worry: the S3 is still a strong phone: it's got every kind of feature we could ask for and more, and raised the bar once again in terms of what consumers should be expecting in terms of battery life, processor speed and media management.
Would we recommend you buy one if you're hankering for a spot of Samsung? Yes, but only if you're trying to save money, as the S4 is a much better version of this phone indeed.
Price isn't the only reason the Samsung Galaxy S3 is worthy of consideration though. Smart Stay, Super AMOLED HD screen, up to 128GB storage, Music Hub, removable battery, quick camera; for the price, this phone still delivers in ways that many others on the market can't.

Quick verdict:

If you're after a decent slab of Samsung tech, the Galaxy S3 is an OK choice. It's getting on a bit, hence the slip down the rankings.
Samsung faced an almost impossible task in trying to create a worthy sequel to the Galaxy S2, and while this is an older model, it's still worth a look.
