We can just use google voice commands to unlock phones when we can't reach them anyway (or am I outdated, because I;ve nvr used a phone with FPS)

At least they're getting rid of the home button. That button is awful, and the rest of the capacitive buttons on other smartphones are awful as well. On-screen buttons for the win!

I hate the curved edges on the screen. Curved back, yes, for comfort. Its a cheat on screen size as it isnt usable. If they ditched earbud jack, Im done with Samsung

But with S8, you have to hold it (and find the reader on the back with your finger) - to unlock - quite inconvenient, especially if you want to unlock your phone while driving.
So... very sad :(

why alienate their loyal consumers by gimping the regular s8 with a single camra set up? they are not winning android users over by copying apple.

It is nice to see them finally get rid of those stupid physical buttons and place on the finger sensor in its correct position (the back).
