    lacp, 09 Jun 2017The sales of the Galaxy S8/S8+ have been a sucess, you are completely wrong.Correct, I have the GS8 and love it.

    Will go down as one of THE best selling Galaxy S devices. Pure innovation with the 'Infinity display'.

      I was/am a fan of the under the display fingerprint scanner until I mused what if you dropped the device and cracked the screen. Would the scanner still work?

      If not maybe best Samsung place it in a more convenient position on the back of the phone or come up with an alternative.

        PLAYER SLAYER, 10 Jun 2017Easy fix for your problems, just tell the scanner to turn back on when you need it.No longer a fast option to using fingeprint if you need to manually disable and enable it.

                              Apple have it long time ago in patents.. so not suprising they should have R & D very long already.

                              So if Note do not have is ok. But if iPhone do not have, it is major shame!

                                      How about tapping the home three times to activate fingerprint capture or a long press using flat thumb or using voice and bixby or hammering the screen or a long slow lick the screen, that would set new standards.
