Apple didn't introduce fingerprint-scanning technology in
handhelds but it did make it hip again when it transformed the iconic iPhone
home button into a Touch ID scanner in the iPhone 5s.
It must have generated the needed attention because other
manufacturers were quick to add in their own fingerprint scanning tech. More
recently, Samsung also made the leap with its Galaxy S5 flagship’s
home button. But how do both technologies stack up?
It’s no secret that Apple opted for a different approach
with its iPhone 5s compared to Samsung with its Galaxy S5. The iPhone requires
you to place your finger on the Touch ID button, while Samsung asks that you
swipe your finger, starting above the home button and moving almost directly
through the center of it. And while Apple’s software suit takes into account
unlocking via different angles, Samsung’s is sticking to the centered approach.
This is shown in the video below, which directly compared both device’s unlock
methods head on.
This results in an easier finger unlock of the iPhone and
less so on the Galaxy S5. And adding the S5′s bigger size unlocking with one
hand is a pretty tall task. Check out the video below.
