Indeed. I'm not disputing anything.

If the fp scanner is in fact placed there, there will be a lot of unhappy fans.

Hmm, kinda makes it a pita to unlock it when it's on my wireless charging stand.

I wouldn't get it if the scanner was there.
Since having s7E and having a scanner it's one of my fav additions along with QC

For me the scanner must be on the front. Or front and back

That scanner position would require me to actually shuffle the phone a couple of times to reach. I just tried it

Render seems legit to me

Edit.

Well never mind then

Thank goodness

Brother just played with a unit, said it's amazing how much they get in it, but it's going to be really expensive, ontop of that, likely no VR bundled with it.

 

[Cleisthenes]

I'm not especially bothered with VR, but I'd love to have a play if it is.

When you say 'played with a unit', what do you mean exactly?

Regarding the price, surely not more than an iPhone

 

[V_R]

Did he say it was the same as that abomination posted earlier? The one with the ridiculous FPS position.

Just spotted this on the Samsung facebook page

Thoughts? Note the 'galaxy' URL, but as someone said on the photo that is some strange angles for a phone or a tablet... possibly a watch? But then why is it under the galaxy name?

Hmmmm

Also doesn't really go with the March 29th(?) that was rumoured

EDIT: Just spotted this http://www.techradar.com/news/samsung-galaxy-tab-s3-tipped-for-mwc-2017-launch-in-latest-leak . Got excited then for a second hoping it was the S8 after all

Oh man... that finger print scanner location might actually be real. dear lord.

 

[Scottland]

Still taking these renders with a pinch of salt, but wow if they do indeed stick it there. May as well ship it with an exploding battery

I don't get why they would put it there

I would assume market research would result in peop not wanting it there

Or is it arrogance/research that they have decided it won't make a difference to sales figures

Or just ignorance

 

[doogs]

Having just thought about he fingerprint sensor location (if that's what it is)...
It doesn't work ergonomically if you are left-handed!! That's why they are normally in the middle if on the back of a phone.

What are Samsung thinking!

 

[VaderDSL]

Stupid question but couldit be for something else and the fingerprint scanner be beneath the glass on the front?

Noooo I was looking forward to the S8 until I just read / realised that

 

[niko]

wouldn't it mean no case could be used as well, or a strange cut out to use it

 

[Begbie]

If its on the back I won't be getting one. Going from rear scanner to front facing, the front makes so much more sense.
