Hence Samsung has cancelled its plans to introduce this new feature.

This Samsung loss is Apple’s gain because the fingerprint scanner will now be exclusively launched by Apple with its soon-to-be released iPhone 5S. This new feature will give enough reasons to iPhone 5 users to upgrade their phone to the 5S.

In spite of the disappearance of the fingerprint scanner feature, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is indeed a worthy phone with many other powerful attributes. Features such as the 5.7 inch screen, company’s newly introduced 3 GB RAM, Qualcomm 2.5 Ghz Snapdragon 800 processor and newest 4.3 Jelly Bean Android OS are enough to woo the Samsung customers.
