An unnamed source rumored said that Samsung's future devices will fingerprint sensors in budget smartphone models. Although it is not clear what the exact definition of company's "budget" could be, GSM Arena reported.
Recently, Chinese smartphone makers have started including fingerprint scanners in low-midrange devics. It is evident that the Korean company is feeling the heat as some cheap devices made in China are reportedly offering more features than Samsung gadgets. Currently, Sansung is the top dog in 14 out of the 15 emerging smartphone markets. The company's latest moves seems to indicate that it is desperate to maintain its coveted position.
Unfortunately, no time frame has been announced for Samsung to launch fingerprint sensors in cheaper devices. Samsung Pay is reportedly going to start appearing in mid-range and law-end Samsung devices as early as in the first half of next year. The company's Android handsets are expected to receive Samsung Pay first.
Analysts are divided as to whether Samsung will bring its payment system to Tizen smartphones.
Meanwhile, a new smartphone has been introduced by Samsung. The device called Britecell was launched during the company's annual Investor's forum. It has advanced camera technology with an enhanced light sensitivity to capture flattering photographs.
According to iDigital Times, the new device is an improvement to the isocell camera. The device is noticeably slimmer and smaller like other new smartphones and tablets in the market.
The new camera technology might become a key feature of Samsung's next generation flagship devices such as the Galaxy S7 and all of its versions.It could also appear in Samsung's rumored mid-and-low range devices under development.
