Samsung tested a fingerprint sensor in a prototype of the Galaxy Note 3

The final version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 does not include fingerprint sensor as the iPhone 5S-Touch-ID, but that does not mean that the mark has not flirted with biometric technology. As has been told, the Koreans experimented for a time with a prototype of phablet to which he included a fingerprint sensor. However, the initial results were not satisfactory and discarded implement this feature.

Witnessing a time when the introduction of additional safety systems like fingerprint sensor starts to become the first choice of manufacturers. Is it because Apple has given the final push to include the Touch sensor ID on your iPhone 5S, will by threats and greater concern to safeguard the privacy and data, but this year will be crucial for standardization. In fact, not only the new Apple includes such solutions. HTC will do the same with the launch of HTC One Max and manufacturer Pantech has done the same in one of their models Vega Note. What stage of this technological advancement is Samsung?
Remember that shortly after the official launch of the iPhone 5S and thus, knowledge of the sensor Touch ID, quickly shot the rumor of interest from other manufacturers in this technology. Instead, the news about Samsung informed us that the company was in no hurry to introduce fingerprint detectors in their models Samsung Galaxy.
However, suppliers and Asian sources have uncovered once again the jar of the essence . Data arriving from Asia we provide a more complete picture of the situation and interests of Samsung for this kind of security solutions. And is that the multinational would have already tried this type of sensors in one of the initial prototypes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It has been told that the firm would have trusted a company specialized to carry out initial tests. However, it seems that the result did not quite please the team of technicians and engineers responsible for the development of phablet was discarded since the implementation of a fingerprint sensor. This theory is consistent with the evidence that pointed to the system of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 included an application called FingerprintService.apk , which denote the phablet firmware would be prepared to support a fingerprint reader.
However, this first and unsuccessful attempt to introduce biometrics into their devices is not a negative to their presence in upcoming models. In fact, the same source in Asia has provided details of its implementation since the end of the year or early next Samsung could make the leap with this fingerprint recognition technology.
