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

        Ya'll need to do much more than that to get customers back. People believe this dying old Galaxy S3/S4/S5 devices are going to catch on fire. The public perception, the people that don't follow mobile tech new closely do not have a good impression of Samsung anymore.

          Dude, 26 Oct 2016lol does anyone even remotely care still about Sammy after ... moreThat's just a prototype display with concessions made, it doesn't even have a fingerprint sensor. And we don't know how the audio is, and other things. It was just a silly concept not even made for the mass market, otherwise they would have just made the bezels really thin while retaining everything.

                If samsung is going for a bezel-less display then what about the front camera.

                  Dude, 26 Oct 2016lol does anyone even remotely care still about Sammy after ... moreYou obviously don't know Sammy's fans and you also don't know Sammy like their fans do. The S8 will be the most spectacular device ever, it will make the Mi MIX looks like a yesterday's phone when it's out. I myself can't wait for the amazing 4K screened VR focus version. The Note7 is a sad failure, but it shall soon be a distant memory.

                        What was that ruckus about "Do not release any details about the upcoming S8 pls!", Samsung sent to its affiliates xD? Every rumour is getting out.

                              So you'll just need to put your finger on the screen and it unlocks. I wonder if the iris scanner will be included. Samsung could give us the option of using the optical fingerprint and iris scanner together. This would make the phone so secure especially if it won't unlock without them both. Only if full phone and SD card encryption is enabled by default.

                                PKC, 26 Oct 2016Why can't they put the sensor on the back? It's simple and ... moreProbably because Samsung has always had a front home button. I prefer it because I prefer to be able to unlock my phone without picking it up or using a pin code or pattern on the screen in public.
                                Bring it on Samsung
                                Being it on everyone else too!
                                I don't know anyone who's a fan of bezels - & zero bezels = larger screen ratio to form size. This has to be good for everyone ergonomically.
