However, it turns out that the fingerprint scanner inside Samsungs previous flagship houses a very threatening glitch.
You may want to ask why.
This has the potential to allow hackers to copy your fingerprints and use them for their own vicious intents.
The fingerprint matches are usually kept in a so-called trusted zone on the smartphone.
The hacker can get into the fingerprint every time when the user merely touches the fingerprint scanner.
Once the hacker gets the data, he can use it to generate the fingerprint from it.
However, users having Android 5.0 or above will not be exposed to the same danger.
Experts advise you to upgrade your software if you have not done it yet.
Samsung has supposedly been made aware of the issue and is currently fact-finding FireEyes claims.
