Just another Samsung attempt to copy Apple 565 PPI. Seems like overkill.and won't stop Samsungs screens from having that neon effect. If you've looked at a Samsung screen it's obvious the color calibration is way off
My iPhone 5s fingerprint sensor works 75% of the time, reason enough for me to disable it. Reason enough for me to not get an S5 if it has one.
It’s possible that your fingers are dirty begrimed and/or sweaty a lot. Also, to counter your one data point, I can honestly tell you that the fingerprint sensor works for me 100% of the time.
If you have actual data on what proportion of 5Ss have that problem, please share.
Whoa, calm down. Not sure I said I had any data to share but my personal experience is that it's not great which will have a bearing when choosing my next device.
Of course Apple won't be 'copying' Samsung's idea of large screens this year will they?
Um... having different screen sizes is not ‘copying.’ Apple's products (e.g., iPads, iPhones, iPods, iMacs, Macbooks) have always had multiple screen sizes.
There are design trade-offs to address (e.g., battery life, developer consistency, pixel size, manufacturing costs, quality, availability). If/when Apple does a larger screen size, I have little doubt that it will be substantially better thought-out than Samsung’s efforts.

Sigh, you noticed copying was in quotes right? My point is this crying about copying is all bullshit.
Apple fans seem to think Apple invented the concept of finger print sensors on a phone, like it matters anyway. And that anything non apple manufacturers do is copying. It's just so boring.
That article claims the S5 will have an on-screen biometric scanner instead of a dedicated button. It also says it will offer multi-party video chat like we used to do on iChat. That was a nice feature and I would like to see that come to FaceTime and the iPhone.
Seemed like you took the fact my iPhone is a bit shit personally. Perhaps I misunderstood you similarly to how you figured I'd have done a survey on all 5s owners just in case I needed some data for a forum.

I didn't take it personally at all. I don't even know you, so why would I?
I did infer that you were perhaps making a general point there about Apple's implementation of the fingerprint sensor, but if you're telling me that was incorrect, then sure, ignore the part of my post about the data. (Btw, I was not asking you to gather the data, but rather, wondering if you knew of any surveys out there that suggested it was a larger problem, that's all.) Perhaps you need to be the one to calm down.

Nope, not a general point simply that my iPhone is dodgy. Glad yours is 100% working.

There's some suggestions in this fairly lengthy thread on how to improve recognition if it's an issue for your and/or your device. Seeing as it's a new Apple feature some growing pains are to be expected. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5400101?start=0&tstart=0

What was un-calm about my response?:???:

‘Dirty’ is a dirty word. People get all uppity.
Tis site seems to have a lot more info and details about the S5. Everything is just a rumor for now but this link seems to have a better source.

Ah, got it. Thanks. (English is not my first language, so sometimes screw it up.) I have changed it to ‘begrimed.’

Not sure if you’re joking (and if you are, it’s great), but it’s not dirty insofar as it’s bad, but people just whine if you call them unhygienic.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
Can Samsung ever come up with something original, order than Apple adaptations?
Perhaps Samsung will 'adapt' Motorola's fingerprint scanner which was out some 2 years before Apples?
Motorola had a camera-based, glass-topped fingerprint sensor 2 years before the release of the iPhone 5S?
