The Samsung Galaxy S5 has already been officially presented. One of the most notable novelties of all those that this smartphone incorporates is the fingerprint scanner. As has just been known, this fingerprint scanner can also be used by developers who are going to program applications for the Samsung Galaxy S5. This would be excellent news given that this option opens a wide range of possibilities for developers who want to launch an application with an extra touch of security for the Samsung Galaxy S5.
Recall that the fingerprint scanner of the Galaxy S5 consists of a small sensor located on the home button of the mobile. This sensor allows us to unlock the terminal simply by resting our finger on the reader, without the need to enter patterns or passwords as has been done in Android until now. In addition to being an added security, the digital fingerprint scanner is an extra convenience when it comes to unlocking the phone with one hand. The possible applications that this sensor has for future applications are basically reduced to the security aspect, although surely we will also begin to see applications that will allow us to create different user profiles with the guarantee that only we will be able to access our user.
Of course, the decision to allow developers access to the fingerprint scanner of the owners of the Samsung Galaxy S5 involves certain risks. For example, Apple with its iPhone 5S and its respective fingerprint scanner decided to restrict any external applications to protect the privacy of users. We will see how South Koreans deal with the issue of fingerprint scanner privacy.
For those who have not been aware of the official presentation of the South Korean company Samsung, let us remember that the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a smartphone that comes to succeed the previous Samsung Galaxy S4. In this mobile again we found a screen 5.1 inches with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The processor chosen for this terminal is a quad- core processor that operates at a clock speed of 2.5 GHz together with a RAM memory with a capacity of 2 GigaBytes. The internal storage is available in two versions of 16 and32 GigaBytes respectively that, in both cases, can be expanded up to 64 GigaBytes using an external microSD memory card. The main camera incorporates a sensor of 16 megapixels, while the front camera comes with a sensor of 2.1 megapixels. The battery offers a capacity of 2,800 milliamps, which translated into autonomy would be approximately 21 hours of conversation. And the operating system, how could it be otherwise, is Android in its latest version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The Samsung Galaxy S5It will be available in stores during the month of April at a price that has not yet been disclosed.
