Fingerprint scanner on the back sort of defeats the whole point IMO. Might sound silly but kind of a dealbreaker for me

Almost everyday there are new rumors of the S8 where I think: Samsung what's wrong with you?! You can only choose between too big 5.7/6.2 inch displays, only edge variants, fingerprint on the back. On the back!? Samsung I will turn my back on you, next year I'll upgrade my Galaxy S6 for a phone that is comfortably usable with one hand (4.8 to 5.2 inch display), NO edge, and a fingerprint on the front like HTC did with the 10 or what Sony does with fp in standy button. Samsung will learn their lesson with low sales of their next flagship phone, IF all these rumors are true. We'll see..

Not a good decision to keep fingerprint scanner at the back, always better to have it at the front.
Real life use case, normally in office, phone is mostly lying on table and now to unlock phone to check something front side scanner is convenient to use without lifting the phone.
Adding it to back side has no real advantage but having it in front has more practical uses.

AnonD-510098, 16 Dec 2016What are you about? No one mocked the pixel for rear finger... moreThe pixel is a jock by all means. Tech people only want it because of Google name. Otherwise all flagships has everything it has plus way more. And the gimmick camera claim is just a score and not real life results iPhone and the galaxy beats it by ions. The let alone the price that matches the others. With a late release phone. Htc already down to $500 for the holidays and that is way better of what gthe pixel offers

LG superfan, 16 Dec 2016Why people complain about back fp so much its not that bad ... moreAnd I bet everybody that hold there phone, hold it where their thumb scrolls and reaches the home button. So with the home button you can use on the table and off. And not lose screen space

OMG !!! WTF !!
please Samsung! DO NOT DO THIS !!!
I repeat, DO NOT DO THIS !!!
try to find a way to put the FP sensor on the front side, unless you will lose lots of your loyal customers, it's so stupid to put the FP on the back!!!
PLEASE DONT DO THIS !!!!!

I rather suggest that samsung should stick with home button and have very srong finger print sensor even if this will have aboit 83% as display screen which I like than the 90%, because this less risk of creen damages in case of phone drop.

Fly Sheikh, 16 Dec 2016It seems Samsung wants you to use the iris scanner by all m... moreThe onscreen fingerprint scanner has been tested. It is found to be inaccurate. That's why Samsung abandon the idea. The last thing Samsung need is to introduce a new fancy fingerprint scanner embedded in the display that don't even work. Please read the article.
