Strange Samsung Galaxy S8 design choice to follow delays and Note 7 fiasco

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 has been the subject of countless rumours over recent months, but the latest leaks all but confirm an unusual design choice that could be cause for concern. Thanks to the handset's enlarged screen, Samsung has decided to completely drop the home button and move the fingerprint scanner to the back of the phone. However, Samsung appears to have taken a very different approach to rival smartphone manufacturers that have also embraced the rear-mounted sensor. Schematics released by Cnet Korea suggest that the Galaxy S8's fingerprint scanner will sit right beside the camera sensor, rather than a couple of centimetres below it. Users will inevitably end up inadvertently fingering the larger camera lens instead of the fingerprint scanner, which will need wiping down if enough dirt builds up over its surface.
