“Amid the mounting rumors about the upcoming unveiling event from Samsung Electronics later this month, fresh speculation surfaced on Tuesday that Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc. would both roll out bezel-free phones that support fingerprint scanning for their next-generation flagship models ― the Galaxy S5 and the iPhone 6,” Kim Young-won reports for The Korea Herald.
“An industry source said Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy S5 would sport a display without a bezel, or the rim surrounding a screen, and allow users to scan their fingerprints at the bottom of the smartphone screen. The phone will also eliminate the home button hardware featured on the previous Galaxy models, he said,” Kim reports. “The source said that Samsung’s top rival Apple is also testing a similar prototype sporting a bezel-less screen that features a fingerprint scanner.”
“Some critics, however, cast doubt on the adoption of bezel-free displays, saying the panels could become too vulnerable to external impact,” Kim reports. “Apple’s next iPhone, meanwhile, is widely rumored have a bigger display.”

Oh, wow! If only it could be true! My life is a day to day struggle with depression and feelings of worthlessness. If only my iPhone could be bezel-free!!!! Then life would be worth living!!!!
Now thats what I call funny! lol
It could not be true, because you have to arrange wiring to the display, it has to have bezel.
I just received my 3rd Motorola Razr V3 ($45.00) – It’s just a phone and I love it – and the monthly cost – ‘0’.
*golf clap*
How many calls and texts are included in that $0 per month deal ?
That’s it, I’m boycotting Apple if it doesnt release a fragile bezel-free device easily broken with just a 2 feet fall !
I hope it’s bigger otherwise I may defect soon to Samsung ( reluctantly )
Enjoy!
Penis envy much?
Apple doesn’t need to “roll out” a fingerprint scanner. They’ve already got one, thank you.
Umm… doesn’t this rumor reoccur every year? I guess if you keep trotting it out you may be right… someday.
I certainly remember all the wow factor talk for the Galaxy occurred prior to it release … except from Samsung anyway who could wow a turd.
