Berlin’s annual IFA consumer electronics fair is all geared up to be a
great event in this year’s technology calendar. When the trade show
descends on Germany’s capital city it will play home to more than 1,200
exhibitors from 32 different countries, each one eager to show off its
advancements in its own particular field. Samsung regularly introduces
something new and shiny during IFA, with this year being no different as
the company prepares to unveil the latest edition to its family of
“phablets”, the Galaxy Note 4.
Much of the mobile-based attention has been focused on Apple’s iPhone
6 over the last few months, but as we draw closer to Samsung’s official
unveiling it’s worth reigning things in and remembering that the Galaxy
Note 4 hasn’t managed to entirely slip through the radar.
According to SamMobile, a number of “credible sources”
are suggesting that the Galaxy Note 4 will come equipped with the same
Synaptic Natural ID technology that powers the fingerprint recognition
system on the extremely popular Galaxy S5. That same biometrics tech is
also rumored to be shipping as part of the internal DNA of the recently
announced Galaxy Alpha.
It’s hardly surprising that the next iteration of the Galaxy Note
will ship with this on board. The introduction of Apple’s iPhone 5s with
Touch ID last year has all but ensured that flagship handsets will ship
with some kind of biometric recognition system built-in. As part of
that, it makes perfect sense that Samsung would want to keep costs to a
minimum as well as simplify the manufacturing process by using the same
component across as many ranges as possible. In addition to the
inclusion of the Synaptic LiveFlex sensor, the same report is suggesting
that Samsung has some impressive advancements in store from a software
perspective.
It’s likely that a lot of the Natural ID software functionality that
we’ve previously seen bundled into the Galaxy S5 will make the
transition across to the fourth-generation Note. In an effort to take
things to the next level it also looks likely that some additional
features will ship with the Note 4, including the ability to launch
installed apps and various system functions directly from the lock
screen of the device. It’s also speculated that a new Web sign-in
feature is also on the cards, with biometric authentication being the
underlying verification system behind it all.
We don’t have to wait long until this year’s IFA in Berlin to find
out actually what Samsung has in store, but let’s just say if this all
turns out to be credible then the future definitely looks bright for
Sammy’s legion of loyal customers.
