The Galaxy Note 8 won't have an in-screen fingerprint scanner, according to Samsung official
This Galaxy Note 8 concept seems to be missing a little something
Samsung couldn't produce a good enough prototype in time (again)
Or in other words, Samsung actually had a working prototype, but one that couldn't perform up to par with its standalone counterparts. And to further rub salt in the wound, the report makes special mention of Apple, which is widely believed to have successfully implemented the technology into its next flagship, the iPhone 8.The company doesn't seem to have given up on the idea entirely, however – according to the report, while an in-screen won't be present in the Note 8, Samsung will continue developing the technology in collaboration with CrucialTec, one of the world's largest biometric sensor manufacturers.
The Galaxy Note 8, which is said to share quite a few design beats with Samsung's current reigning flagship, the S8, will reportedly bear the distinction of being the first high-end Samsung device with a dual rear-facing camera module. It is expected to be unveiled in late August, just ahead of this year's IFA expo in Germany, and will feature the same 18.5:9 screen ratio as the Galaxy S8, but in a larger, 6.3-inch panel.
