Samsung Galaxy S8 to come with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor

16 December 2016
Of course, the iris recognition tech from the Note7 will also be there.

    Dear Samsung plz don't do this it well be a big disappointment..

      Why people complain about back fp so much its not that bad your finger naturally rest on the scanner its also quick when pulling phone out of pocket it has just one draw back you cant unlock your phone when its on a table and I bet you almost always pick up your phone to use it other than that no problem

        AnonD-510098, 16 Dec 2016Huawei have the fastest fingerprint scanners in the mobile ... moreThe suppler of the finger print scanner in Huawei's products are from the Swedish market leaders "fingerprint cards"

        The scanner is identical to other in Chinese smartphone brands as well. Top product.

        Samsung should choose FPC by all means to make iPhone and other phones fingerprint scanner seem slow.

        SS needs this to be a hit.

          Rear mounted fingerprint will affect the S-line design

                  It seems Samsung wants you to use the iris scanner by all means. I'd have preferred the onscreen fingerprint scanner.

                    But.. What people looking for Samsung is their front-mounted fingerprint sensor. Just hope this isn't true

                      The pixel got mocked becuase of its massive bezels and dumb pricing.

                                Probably the worse move ever to put a finger print sensor at the back. I hope this does not happen

                                    Good! I had an LG G5 (and plan to get another one, the wide angle camera is awesome) and the rear sensor was far more ergonomic to operate than a front mounted one. Now rocking an LG G3 and it's the same with the volume controls, nice positioning. Annoying they moved them to the sides on the G5. Hope Samsung put the sensor and volume on the back.

                                      Im glad that I stopped being a Sammy fan there so much better phones\companies than Sammy. If you guy are debating of switching or dropping it you should you'll never look back
