Do you care about the fingerprint scanner placement?

Fingerprint scanner is useless, which is a shame. I tried but could not find a comfortable way to use it.


I hold my phone in my left hand even though I am right-handed, so the placement is not too bad I'm holding my phone although I prefer the iris scan to unlock the phone.


It is very handy to be able to pull down the notification shade by swiping fingerprint here! I really like being able to open and close the notification shade tile trying to reach the very top of this big screen.

There has been a lot of discussion about the fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S8. It was supposed to be embedded in the display, but Samsung ran out of time. The scanner on the back has been a sore spot for a lot of people.

If the Note 8 has the same scanner as the GS8, will you be okay with that?
Joe i like your five-fav aps of the weej reviews!
