      Hekato Jr., 13 Feb 2018So called for innovation and leading in market examples. P... moreApart from screen tech (and even there they are relatively slow at this point) samsung phones are following for years.

      Some of the least battery size for the total device size last year. Relatively small BtS ratio if you do not include the curves (as they are not usable parts of the phone). Least amount of apps in bacgkound (not having to reload) last year. Camera that left a lot to desire. S8 was a soft phone that had a heavy name. Samsung of late has nothing to do with Samsung of old (came loaded in everything, first to market concepts and often marketted them well, etc).

        Don’t think so under-display fingerprint it’s an good idea especially with Amoled panels due to the burn in.

Was slower then regular fingerprint sensors, but faster then my iphone face id. Cool and fast enough for me. Hope apple adopts the technology.

              Spike1, 14 Feb 2018So why is it working for Vivo while the rest are struggling?I'm pretty sure that it's not working so good that's why it's still not on other phones.

                So why is it working for Vivo while the rest are struggling?

                  If I can find that comment I made 2 years ago on YouTube saying that Samsung will put that in the S10 or note 10.

                    Those new flagship releases barely differ now from one another .

                      In tracing the 10 earliest devices in the history of the phablet concept, PC Magazine called the 1993 AT&T EO 440, "the first true phablet",[14] followed by the following devices:

                      1- 1993 AT&T EO 440
                      2- 2007 HTC Advantage (5.0 inch screen)
                      3- 2007 Nokia N810WiMAX Edition (4.13" screen)
                      4- 2009 Verizon Hub (7.0" screen)
                      5- 2010 LG GW990 (4.8" screen)
                      6- 2010 Dell Streak (5.0" screen)
                      7- 2011 Dell Streak 7 (7.0" screen)
                      8- 2011 Acer Iconia Smart (4.8" screen)
                      9- 2011 Samsung Galaxy Player 5 (5.0" screen)
                      10- 2011 Pantech Pocket
                      11- 2011 Samsung Galaxy Note (5.3" screen)

                        Ah that's a shame. But then again, an under display sensor still will not have been a reason to upgrade from the note8.

                                    Typical Sammy fans. There were the ones swearing that they are going get S9 or Note 9 since Sammy is going to be the first to implement the underdisplay FPS. But now that vivo did it first here they are claiming " I don't see the need for this feature anyway, iris/face scanner is the best thing since slice bread" while at the same time claiming Apple's face scanner is a useless feature.
                                    Fanboys!, Just be true to yourself and admit that you will buy any expansive shiny thing with a Sammy Logo instead saying stuff like " I prefer Samsung phones because they are more durable". LOL. if you think the glass Note 8 can be used for a longer period than the Note 4 or the Metal OnePlus, then you must be deluded.

                                        viveksubhash, 14 Feb 2018How about a side mounted fps like sonyThis is the worst placement. It is very inaccurate because it is small. Sony fps failed many times just to unlock 1 time. When you use cover, this situation got worsen. I have xz premium and it has fingerprint scanner but I never use because it fails so many times everytime I try to unlock. The worst fps I ever used.
