Samsung’s next flagship is rumored to appear sooner than in previous years. The Galaxy Note 5 has generated a lot of buzz, due to the fact that the smartphone manufacturing mogul usually waits until September to announce the new model in the Note series at the IFA press conference in Berlin, but now it has been moved up at an August event in New York, according to TechRadar.

Could be a tactic to boost sales, after the numbers for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge haven’t reached the record made by the Galaxy S4 in 2014? At the moment, out of 10 million units that Samsung has shipped to stores in April, only 6 million units have been sold.

Still, Samsung is standing firmly in the smartphone market, we have the numbers to prove it. This is a record from Statista showing Samsung’s sales and market share from 2014.

While Apple iPhone 5S fingerprint scanner got pwned in a similar fashion, the problem with Samsung implementation is that they are using this to authorize payments on their device as shown in the video demonstration shared below.

Samsung has officially unveiled their new flagship cellphone Galaxy S5, with tagline "going back to basics to focus on delivering the capabilities that matter most to our consumers" the phone features a 2.5GHz Quad core application processor, 2GB RAM, 5.1-inch 1920×1080 display, fingerprint reader on the home button, a heart rate monitor next to camera flash, dust and water resistant body, 16 megapixel camera with 4K video capture and adjustable focus powered with the latest Google Android 4.4 (KitKat).
