Galaxy S8 to feature rear fingerprint scanner

A new report from South Korea suggests the Samsung Galaxy S8 will feature a fingerprint scanner on the rear side of the device.

The soon to be released Samsung Galaxy S8 will feature a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner instead of a physical home button on the front of the device, according to a report from CNET Korea (via SamMobile).

Referring to Galaxy S8 schematics the site clams to have obtained, the report predicts the Galaxy S8’s fingerprint scanner will be placed to the right of the device’s rear-mounted camera, a prediction which corroborates previous rumours about the new smartphone not featuring a physical home button on the front of the device.
