In its latest ad for the Galaxy S5, Samsung has taken a direct shot at Apple for the small screen size of the iPhone.
In the ad, the company takes a potshot at all those Apple users who are excited about rumors of the next-generation iPhone coming with a bigger screen since the last two years, while a phone with a bigger and better screen is already available in the market.
We’ve been waiting years for Amazon’s challenger to the iPhone to finally surface, but unless you’re on AT&T you’ll have to wait a while to get Amazon’s crazy 3D phone in your pocket.
Like the original iPhone before it, Amazon plans to launch its first smartphone as an AT&T exclusive, reports the Wall Street Journal who has talked to “people familiar with the plans.”

It may not be as accurate or as reliable as Apple’s Touch ID, so if you’re switching from an iPhone 5s, you probably shouldn’t expect it to be quite as good. But my Galaxy S5’s Finger Scanner has been great — and throughout a typical day, I’ll only have to swipe twice maybe two or three times.
Having said that, I did set mine up a little differently to many of the Galaxy S5 users I’ve spoken to. Here are some simple tips that will help you improve the accuracy of your Finger Scanner.
