Samsung Galaxy S9 will keep the fingerprint scanner on the back

11 December 2017
It will be below the camera, which is a far more convenient location.

I bought a premium case for mine end of the day, so it all case are plastic, mine is aluminium. But anyhoo, like I said before people don't use cases on their phones, that's their choice, I never said people shouldn't, I just don't like taking risks with an expensive phpne

    A few years ago people were very vocal about Samsung being "plastic fantastic" while other manufacturers were using premium materials. So, why would you even care about material if you're gonna put a 10$ plastic case on it anyways?

    I've never used a case on any of my smartphones and I don't regret it one bit. (also, they're all still working and in good physical shape). I guess I must be incredibly lucky... Or maybe I just know how to take care of my devices.

        I have never accidentally touched the camera on my Note8. Reason? For me, (right handed, but often hold phone in left hand of course, the fingerprint sensor is on the wrong side of the camera, so I am forced to turn the phone over and look at where my finger is going, so less likely to put it in the wrong place.) Having had the face unlock work and tried it on an iPhone X, that is pretty much the best way forward, no need to worry about gloves, cold weather or other, you just gaze at the device - what could be better?

          The whole smudging the camera lens thing can be sold by using a case, the whole fingerprint/heart rate sensor/camera lens, is surrounded by a border of the case, you can just follow your finger using the border as a guide. But you know not everyone has case on their very expensive phone lol

            Disappointing news 📰. I love my Note 8 but the fingerprint sensor sucks.

              Perhaps in the note9 then.

                      Am i the only one who thinks this is the a8 2018 instead of the s9 ?
                      I mean cmon the leaked images pointed our that this is the a8 right ?
                      And why would samsung make its flagship backside look exactly the same like its on a midranger.....
