I think right now, they would have to make too many sacrifices to implement one. Apple can get away with it because the iPhone 5S still has a what, 4.2 inch screen? Samsung is pushing larger screens and less bezels, so implementing one would be troublesome unless they found a way to put it on the back, but then how convenient would that be?

have my fingerprint out in cyber space is something i don't think i'd ever willingly do. of course i'm sure the phone manufacturer and service provider won't keep records of info on my phone, not to mention the apps that would utilize the function.....oh wait.....big brother is already watching so once again, hell no......

I see no real reason for a finger print reader on my phone and it is a gimmick. I have no doubt ifone fans will use it and tout how "innovative" it is when Motorola did it in 2011, but as usual others innovate and apple copies and claims innovation.

The finger print thing is a gimmick. It was done many years ago by Motorola Atrix. Now a certain fruit is coping the idea. Still is a Gimmick.

Very true, they simply bought up a company whose sole business was fingerprint reader tech. My HP Laptop has it and for that I find it useful since I use a really crazy long password.
