Samsung completely boned the fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S5. You have to use two hands to do it. One to hold the phone upright and the other to swipe down. On the iPad you can touch the pad from multiple angles and it still recognizes who you are and unlocks.

Part of it would be better if Samsung allowed you to use a numbered pin with the fingerprint scanner but they require an actual password with letters and stuff.

Touch id is my favorite part of the 5s. Especially if you're driving and want to read a text. Instead of fumbling around trying to put in your code U just touch the button and you can see it easily

That's what I'm saying you can't use the Samsung one and be driving. Not saying you should text and drive but If I wanna switch playlist on my phone entering a pin is something I can do one-handed. Samsung's fingerpring scanner can't. Maybe I need a car phone mount to hold the phone upright for me.

Apple patented touch id in its curret form that's why samsung or any other company cant implement touch id the way Apple has. If you're gonna be mad, be mad at Apple.
