New Galaxy Note8 leaked renders show camera bump, confirm position of the fingerprint sensor

27 June 2017
It's been moved somewhat compared to the controversial placement in the S8 duo, but it will still be easy to smudge the cameras when you want to unlock.

I am an S8 owner. and smudging the camera NEVER happend to me. experience the phone before you have an opinion.

Samsung think ever... moreI own the galaxy S8 (Standard. 5.8) and Although I DO have pretty long and slender fingers ( my index is slightly over 3.3inches) I do find it easy to open on a standard sized S8. but EXTREMELY difficult on the plus version. and insanely hard (Assuming size) on Note8.

                    3300mah battery (wow!!! same processor of s8 and s8+ with additional features of dual cam and SPen.. GOOD LUCK BATTERY)

                    BYE SAMSUNG..!!!!!

                    HELLO APPLE..!!!!!

                      im not buying any of the 8 series galaxy due to the uncomfortable, unergonomic, unintuitive finger print sensor placement. #fingersensorgate

                        Probably true bcs evan blass said that the heart rate scanner sits between the cameras and the fingerprint and that the cameras are lined horizontally

                          Not 6.4 inch screen... If s8+is 6.2 a 6.3 inch screen is too small a difference.

                              Hopefully the battery actually isn't 3300mAh. I don't care how optimized or how efficient the processor is, more capacity is better (at least for Samsung phones).

                                That includes the Always Screen On? Yeah, that's 10 hours. Usually people are out of the house more than 14 hours. You really will need to plug in before going home.

                                The reality is, I only come close to 7-8 hours SOT when using the S7 Edge and Note7. This is with Youtube, consuming over 1GB over wifi. The SOT will be less if you are to use LTE. Realistically with LTE, up to 6 hours SOT. These are all the more efficient Exynos variants. Snapdragon is lower SOT - 5 hours SOT.

                                And the 10% reduction of the battery will not help for a bigger screen size. The power-saving efficiency of the newer processor will not help if you need the same energy to power up LTE, screen, and you ARE ACTUALLY using the device. NOT Always On Screen display.

                                  Samsung think everyone has long fingers..
                                  Samsung think everyone do not need a case..

                                  This will be a big fail.. Most people need 2 hands to use the fingerprint scanner now.

                                  I bet people will just not use it all together.

                                    This Design look so Bad for me.
                                    Very disappointing 😢
                                    I prefer the design before which Camera is vertical and Fingerprint below the camera is the perfect position for the fingerprint.
                                    If this is final design for Note 8. I Will keep with my Galaxy S7 Edge or Get Note7R 🤔.

                                      3300mAh battery is too less practically for 6.3 inch device... You cannot give the reason for previous failure for this... To overcome the previous mistakes is called as successful engineering rather than playing safe with the less...

                                        Battery life is amazing!
