You will see all your four fingers appear on the left side and your thumb on the right side. Look at your index finger. It should appear at the top most left side. Move that index finger slightly to the right towards the rear side. You index finger will land directly on the fingerprint sensor. This is the idea behind Samsung fps placement.

                    I don't get these case's. The deem phone is already a godzilla size and you need to case it to make it even larger and heavier

                        Someone Else, 17 Feb 2017The problem with Samsung is that their Galaxy S7 edge is al... moreNo. They were spot on if this is all true.
                        The first few things are not major upgrades arty all like they said. The only true one be the sd835. The other ones are not even a guarantee. I hope the panels are more efficient but we have nothing to prove or suggest that. And most rumors show the same cameras. And even if they do update the front camera....it's about time! That was long over due.
                        And to possibly stick inky 4GB?

                        Like they said. This is samsung who is known for offering the best tech. And the price is hiked up and for possibly not much more than the design and S835.

                        And there is plenty room for improvement on the s7 edge. I have it. It's amazing. I'm typing on it. But this is always large headroom for update. Far from perfect same as every other device.

                        However it's all speculation at the moment and time will tell. And it will be a fantastic device either way

                          What's the surefire way to make sure your camera lens is covered in smudge? Placing a fingerprint scanner right next to it.
