After the release of Samsung Galaxy S5 there were negative comments about the poor detection rate of the built-in fingerprint scanner – and certainly many will ask whether the problems will now be repeated with the Galaxy Note 4. Here, however, it must be admitted that Samsung later an update released that should have improved the scan.

According SamMobile the reason for failed scans should even be in the wrong operation, since many users did not know that the Galaxy S5 scans the fingerprint both the home button and on the lower part of the touch screen. When the user drags his finger just above the home button, this has often no effect. If the fingers are already recognized on the screen and then pulled all the way up on the home button, will almost always succeed scan. The blame for the many negative experiences with the fingerprint scanner of the Galaxy S5 is but in any case with Samsung, as the manual explains this aspect adequately.
