Fingerprint readers tested: iPhone 6 vs Galaxy S6

The fingerprint sensor has become essential within Apple devices but also in the competition. The Galaxy S5 already had one and the just announced Galaxy S6 comes with an upgraded version that promises to be equated with Touch ID. Have they succeeded?

In the video that you have above these lines you can see a comparison of both but I already tell you that Samsung has done its homework, improving fingerprint recognition both in terms of precision and performance. The user only has to place their finger on the surface of the button and it will recognize it even from different positions, something that Touch ID also allows.

As the only difference, it seems that the recognition of Touch ID is slightly faster, something that is hardly appreciated during the day but that is there. In passing, I take this opportunity to remind you that the speed depends on the number of fingerprints that we have registered, so if you have added multiple fingers, deleting some of them will accelerate the time it takes to unlock the terminal.

The proliferation of mobile payments using platforms such as Apple Pay or Samsung Pay make this type of sensors necessary to improve security in transactions, allowing the verification of the user in a matter of seconds and without needing anything more than the fingerprint.

While at the beginning it was labeled a useless and expendable extra, now it has become something that has more and more prominence. iOS 8 already allows developers integrate Touch ID into their applications and Apple Pay will undoubtedly do its bit when it comes to payments.

      Thanks jhon, I always try to make it that way. The problem is that when there are discrepancies in my opinion, people usually blame me as a fanboy or that kind of thing but I don't consider myself such. If Apple does something right I say so, if it does something wrong, too.

      Regards!

    All smartphones were beginning to look very similar, the design of the Galaxy S6 Edge is a breath of fresh air that does the industry very good and that will give much to talk about this year.
