Do you like the Samsung Galaxy S8’s fingerprint sensor placement? [Poll]

Site default logo image

Fingerprint sensors in smartphones have become such a staple in today’s society that they are showing up in lower-end and mid-tier devices. Typically, these sensors are either placed on the front of the device under the display or somewhere on the back of the phone. From what we’ve seen from leaks, the sensor on the S8 will be moved from the front of the phone to the back. Do you like this change?

One topic of controversy in the Galaxy S8 leaks so far has been the placement of the fingerprint sensor. Since the phone has no room for a button on the front, the sensor was moved to the rear, next to the camera sensor. Previous rumors had pointed to a sensor under the display, and now we might know why the phone won’t have this feature.
