    Good luck cleaning and wipe the camera on the back all the time.It is not possible not to touch the lens cover at least in 50% when you unlock the phone with fp sensor.

      Asus already uses rectangular fingerprint scanner in their Zenfone 3 lineup.

      But Asus had positioned it better- below the camera and not aside it. So people wouldn't touch the lense all the time!

                  Personally i dont care about the fingerprint scanner location....for me if the iris recognition is half as good as on the note 7 which it will be as good, then i will never go back to fingerprint usage

                    Whaaat, this is a joke, i don't want a phone with logo samsung branded on display, i would say nothing about a galaxy (branding) image of a galaxy or written galaxy, on the back, but permabranding samsung logo which is ugly heck no. i'm not paying 900 $dollar for my next phone to have that.
