Apparently there is some confusion going around the Interwebs regarding a couple of cases that were just listed by renowned accessory maker Trident. The Trident Aegis and Trident Kraken, as seen above, have recently been listed on Mobile Fun for preorder, however, there appears to be some angst as to why a fingerprint scanner cannot be seen anywhere on the cases themselves. So where could the fingerprint scanner on Galaxy S5 possibly be?
Well, to add some logic into the mix, the most recent two examples of fingerprint scanners that have been released are the Apple iPhone 5S and the HTC One Max. The iPhone 5S’s scanner was embedded in the home button, whereas the One Max had the scanner mounted just below the camera. From the cases above, assuming they are real, I think it’s safe to say the scanner on the Galaxy S5 will not be on the back. That leaves two possible options: the scanner could be embedded in the home button, or the other possibility is for the scanner to be in the screen itself; this is based on a rumour that we heard only a few weeks ago.
This is of course if you believe there is a fingerprint scanner on the S5 at all, which does leave a lot of ‘if’s up in the air, but we’ll only have to wait a few weeks to find out the truth at the Samsung Unpacked event at MWC 2014. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is shaping up to be quite a formidable device, particularly with the suspected hardware that leaked out just a few days ago. Where do you think the fingerprint scanner on Galaxy S5 is going to be located? Do you think there will be one at all? Let us know what you think.
