Maybe their next flagship will feature fingerprint sensor with protected surface (sapphire etc.) because as for now we've had many reports of scratched sensors

      Chinese brand phones have also begun to switch to Li-Poly battery cells now...

              They should go to HUAWEI to help them make faster fingerprint scanners as they have the best on the market

                I think this is the right move for them as their fingerprint sensor is kinda slow compared to others

                    Samsung should fix their batteries and internal design rather than fingerprint sensors.

                      They still don't know what the problem is, didn't they replaced the battery on the first recall?, and see, the problem still remains , so they should focus on find out what was the problem with the note 7 manufacturing process.
