Apple and Samsung both have fingerprint scanners inside their more recent flagship smartphones, but there’s a big difference in how they work. While Galaxy users have to swipe their finger over the scanner, iPhone users need only place their finger on it for a moment. This is something that Samsung hopes to change, if rumors are to be believed, with the forthcoming Galaxy S6 by adopting Apple’s system.
Samsung has been including fingerprint scanners inside the home button on its high-end devices since the Galaxy S5 launched, but there’s been one major difference between the Samsung scanners and Apple’s Touch ID: On a Samsung phone, you’ve got to swipe your finger over the reader, as opposed to Apple’s implementation in which users simply place their finger on the home button. Samsung is looking to upgrade its fingerprint sensor on the forthcoming Galaxy S6 — and presumably on other fingerprint-equipped handsets after that, according to new information from SamMobile. The new sensor is reportedly touch-based as opposed to swipe-based, so users will simply need to place their fingerprint on the home key.
