According to a probe note obtained by AppleInsider, KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts Samsung wants a fingerprint verification system to stay up with the market's rush toward on-board life science spurred by the iPhone 5s. 

While Apple was never the primary to implement biometric security in a very transportable device, it sparked a trend by introducing an easy, effective and, most significantly, reliable answer with bit ID. By investment the recognition of the iPhone complete, bit ID is currently within the hands of a lot of customers, going away alternative makersscrambling to induce out similar product.

As for Samsung, Kuo believes the corporate can use fingerprint recognition technology designed by partner Validity Sensors, a firm purchased by touchpad maker Synaptics last year.

"Fingerprint is critical for a star model," Kuo writes. "Because Apple's iPhone 5S and HTC's One soap have fingerprint, S5 the star model cannot lack the operate even [if] the answer (area sort same as iPhone 5S's provided by Validity) isn'tas mature as iPhone 5S's." 

Kuo believes Samsung can once more build a grab for high-end French telephone marketshare by pushing out 2models differentiated by processor sort, show resolution and memory. each versions can continue Samsung's big-screen blitz with a five.2-inch show, with the top-end "Prime" iteration using a WQHD AMOLED panel with acomponent density of 565 pixels per in.. 

Powering the French telephone are associate degree in-house Exynos 5430 methodor designed on Samsung's 20nm process and 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM to assist with graphics duties. The chip isn't 64-bit semiconducting material like that found in Apple's iPhone 5s, iPad Air and iPad mini with tissue layer show. 

Other options embrace a 16-megapixel rear shooter with support for part detection optical device and 3D gestures. The S5 can possible carry over a plastic shell style from this year's S4, although metal-clad product ar on the horizon, says Kuo. Apple, on the opposite hand, has chosen to create its handsets out of premium materials like metal and glass since the iPhone four, that debuted in 2010. 

Countering rumors, Kuo feels Samsung isn't ready to introduce identity verification school within the coming flagship Galaxy. Earlier in Jan, Samsung's vice chairman of mobile Lee Young Hee aforesaid the corporate was "studying the possibility" of incorporating the feature into future product, however wouldn't inquire into whether or not it'd beprepared for the S5's launch.
