The Samsung Galaxy S5 is 'confirmed' to be sporting a fingerprint sensor ahead of its launch at Mobile World Congress
The Samsung Galaxy S5 will include an inbuild fingerprint sensor, requiring the user to swipe across the home button, according to new reports.
According to Samsung insiders, the sensor will be implemented into the home button and not into the screen display, as had been previously reported.
The finger pad must be pressed flat against the key and swiped at a moderate speed, Sammobile has reported, and a real-time image of your fingerprint will appear on the display. Any attempts to swipe the key with a wet finger will allegedly result in an error message.
Fingerprint scanning will reportedly be incorporated throughout the operating system, and up to eight fingerprints can be registered to designated tasks or app shortcuts. A newly-developed private app feature allows users to swipe their finger to access apps, widgets and other content they want to keep private.
Anticipation is building for the launch of the device at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 24.
The Galaxy S5 will still feature physical buttons, according to the report, opting against touch screen typing capabilities.
Last month, images of the device's user interface were leaked, featuring brightly coloured tiles with sports results, messages from contacts, flight updates, fitness monitor, maps and local events.
Rumoured specs for the new device include a 16-Megapixel camera, 3GB of RAM and a 4,000MaH battery, alongside talk the phone will be available in two versions - metal and plastic.
