Samsung Galaxy S8 to feature an optical fingerprint sensor

26 October 2016
The sensor will be beneath the screen and allow for a truly full-screen device.

Fingerprint sensor inbuilt in the touchscreen panel, great. Now people will see you unlock the phone using your fingerprint on the screen and think that you're using some fake fingerprint scanner softwares. Lol

Mi Mix is the best looking phone and there is no similar in that, Scamsung have no similar devices not even close to beat it , all high end got boomed or have been outdated as well , so liked or not the Mi Mix is the King in this current period.

But at the time the iPhone came out it wasn't a 'meh' product. Xiaomi could be on to something, and it seems the way they are doing it is better than before because I and many other people have never even heard of the Aquos.

            What are you talking about?? Apple iPhone 8 rumours are already out even though the iPhone 7 was just released.. How do you think they feel?... I'm kidding, they're just rumours and the phone still is not coming out until March next year!

                  Please don't spread false information as fact. It's also highly possible to place an ultrasonic reader under glass as well, which is most likely going to be the case, no company would go back to tech with vulnerabilities.

                    Samsung will remain the king of smartphones, whether someiBody somewhere hacks a note7 to make its battery faulty or not.

                        Sharp has been working in almost bezel free display fir a couple years, but the problem with their phones is that they are never flagship spec but are expensive at rhe same time. Not to mention only released in Japan. Xiaomi is helping push other manufacturers towards innovation. Only a positive imo.
