hey everyone this is Todd Hazleton with TechnoBuffalo we have the brand new Samsung Galaxy s5 here in the office and with it comes a fingerprint reader inside the home button we'll walk you through how to set that up and how it works in this video okay so we have the galaxy s5 open I'm in the settings menu and then you're gonna select fingerprint scanner to register your fingerprints so we're gonna click that manage it since we don't have any registered right now and it's telling us that we have two we can use our thumb for the printer print fingerprint lock rather and the verify your Samsung Account also PayPal is adding support for that too so here we go register the fingerprint I'm gonna take my thumb and swipe down we got one with a green light there two three four five six seven eight so again this requires a swipe so it's a little different than say the iPhone 5s where you just sort of push your fingerprint on and give it different angles so enter a password here let's say Todd okay your fingerprint has been registered type okay to go to select screen the locks so basically now we're gonna go here then select the way to unlock the phone I'm gonna say fingerprint because that's the way we want to do it we have one fingerprint registered my thumb and we should be all set here okay so now when the phone is locked see right here it's locked we have the option to choose an alternate password or as this says here we can use my thumb to unlock the phone didn't work on the first try so it took four tries right there but it eventually worked and now we're inside the phone so generally I found with the iPhone 5s it works a lot better than the swipe mechanism here and obviously it wasn't that accurate there even though I registered my fingerprint eight times in the settings menu so I think Samsung could do a bit better to make it more accurate is it a big deal that you're just swiping several times to unlock the phone no and we can see even right now if it works better but here's one two three so that took three times right there I think they could work on the accuracy but overall not that bad and it's certainly another option for unlocking your phone as opposed to a password or a pattern or anything like that okay that was a quick look at the fingerprint reader on the galaxy s5 let us know what you think in the comments down below and if you have any other questions be sure to let us know too what's up everyone thank you for watching that video if you want to see more the latest and greatest tech news you can subscribe to our main TechnoBuffalo channel by clicking the button right down below in my pants region or click on the buttons to your right to see more videos
