We did like Samsung's idea of
including a fingerprint scanner in the home button (inspired from iPhone 5s) but this doesn't recognize the fingerprint with ease unlike the one in the Apple iPhone 5s, which had the entire round button doing the job, but here in the S5, the rectangular button needs you to swipe the finger over it and most of the time, the recognition fails.

Also, taking cues from Sony, Samsung has made the device water + dust resistant (IP 67 certified) and also
includes a fingerprint scanner like the iPhone 5S, and a heart rate monitor as well.
The Galaxy S5 Mini offers features similar to that of the Galaxy S5,
which include a fingerprint scanner that can be used to authenticate PayPal purchases, along with a heart rate sensor at the back of the device.

include a fingerprint scanner integrated into power button at the back, front stereo speakers, and connectivity options like Wi - Fi, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, and more importantly an USB Type - C port.
That's about it for info on the device, though we would suspect that it would feature the same hardware as Samsung's upcoming AMOLED tablet, the Galaxy Tab S,
possibly including a fingerprint scanner and Android 4.4 KitKat with the company's Magazine UX.
Samsung has decided not to
include a fingerprint scanner under the display of its next - generation Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + smartphones due to continued technical difficulties, according to South Korea's The Investor.Instead, the fingerprint scanner will likely remain positioned on the back of each device, just like the current Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + models.Fingerprint scanning is one of three biometric options for unlocking the Galaxy S8 alongside iris scanning and facial recognition.
At the same time, in order to make this possible Apple should integrate all controls within the
display including a fingerprint scanner and introduce 3D touch display on an extensive scale than they already did.
The device comes with the usual array of connectivity options, including 4G LTE support, and additional
hardware includes the fingerprint scanner that is integrated into the home button, adding an extra layer of security, and the heart rate monitor, that is found right next to the rear camera.

The OnePlus 2 also comes with a range of other useful features,
including a fingerprint scanner below the display, USB Type - C for charging the 3,300 mAh battery, and a dedicated Alert Slider that can be used to quickly switch between Android's three notification modes: all, priority, and none.
The device may include either a 12 - megapixel or 16 - megapixel main camera, may be water and dust resistant, and may also
include a fingerprint scanner like the Samsung Galaxy S5.
