The South Korean company is already working on the development of its future flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S5. Rumors about this smartphone have already begun to circulate a few weeks ago and we began to get a slight idea of ​​what Samsung could be preparing us for in a few months. While it is true that the latest rumors spoke about the possibility that the base model of the Samsung Galaxy S5 was water and dust resistant, now we get a new rumor that talks about a eye movement and scanning sensor. Biometrics returns to the spotlight.
It's been a while since we've seen how manufacturers worry about adding traditional to maximise security and your enjoyment. to smartphones, adding, for example, the possibility of unlocking the terminal by facial recognition, for example, although this method has yet to be perfected. Also lately we are seeing how some manufacturers such as Apple or HTC have included in their new terminals a fingerprint reader to give them greater security, as is the case of the iPhone 5S and the HTC One Max. The goal is to balance comfort and protection.
But it seems that the South Korean company will go a step further and incorporate an eye reader that will allow users to unlock the smartphone with their eyes. As they comment from the website of GSMarena, Samsung would already be immersed in the development of the high security bit of this technology, although at the moment the details of how they want to carry out all this are unknown. Iris scanning is proposed as an alternative to finger scanning.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 would take a big leap in the matter of security
In the event that this rumor about the eye reader was true, the Samsung Galaxy S5 would have a characteristic that would significantly increase the security of the device and it would even exceed that granted by fingerprint readers, and it is one of the safest methods in the world. So we have no doubt that, if true, the future Samsung flagship would become a smartphone that would make a big change when it comes to smart security. Advanced passwordless authentication.
On the other hand, and leaving aside the issue of security, we must remember that previous rumors suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S5, which would be presented at the first quarter, could have a new and powerful processor 6 nanometer 14-bit Exynos 64 which would have eight cores and would also be a device water and dust resistant, as we mentioned above. Power and durability as the axes of the hardware.
Eye scanner vs. fingerprint reader: what's being tested
Various industry sources indicate that Samsung has explored in parallel both the recognition of the iris such as fingerprint reader for unlocking. While the finger offers reliability and speed Although already proven in the industry, eye scanning requires more stringent conditions: a camera with good resolution, adequate lighting, and minimal user vibration. There are even internal tests cited where the iris competes with the fingerprint sensor for implementation in the final model, and patents describing a system with proximity sensor which activates the scan, a light emitter and receptor units to validate the eye pattern. The key will be to make the process Speed y effortless, so that it is as practical as resting your finger on it.
Design and hardware under consideration
Beyond security, there is a rumor of a jump in materials y Finished, with the possibility of seeing variants in aluminum and in plastic to adjust price and weight. On screen, the reports speak of approximately 5 inches and panel with resolution QHD (2.560 x 1.440)Together with 3 GB of RAM and a camera 16 megapixels. In processors, the deck would include both solutions Snapdragon latest batch (like the 800/805 series) as a Exynos 64-bit, prioritizing performance and efficiency. In addition, Samsung would aim for closer integration with its Galaxy Gear and its successor, with improved features and refined design, already a revamped software layer on top of Android to deliver more value.
If these plans materialize, the Samsung Galaxy S5 would combine an advanced biometric system with a more premium design and ambitious hardware, reinforcing its positioning in the high-end range. Everything points to a total focus on security, performance and user experience..
