    Galaxy Note 8 gets pictured, doesn’t fix S8 fingerprint sensor location

    Imagine a squarer Galaxy S8 with dual cameras.

    Behold—above is the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 revealed in all its glory. The pictures come courtesy of VentureBeat's Evan Blass, who has proven reliable when it comes to these early press render leaks.

    After the massive redesign of the Galaxy S8, it's no surprise that the Note 8 follows in its footsteps. You're still getting a slim bezel design with rounded display corners and on-screen buttons. The top sensor arrangement seems to be identical to the Galaxy S8, with an iris scanner setup consisting of one extra camera and one infrared LED, along with the usual front-facing photo camera and sensor setup. The sides are still rounded on the front and back, and there still looks to be an extra physical "Bixby button" which exists for the sole purpose of launching Samsung's new voice assistant.

    The major difference over the S8 is that the whole device is squarer. The taller corners will no doubt be used to store the S-Pen, the Galaxy Note's signature feature. On the back we also see Samsung's first dual-camera arrangement, which, rumor has it, is for a 3x optical zoom setup.
    The Galaxy S8's biggest flaw was the placement of the fingerprint reader. It was too high up on the back of the phone—right next to the camera—and very small, making it difficult to use. The rumor was that, like the rest of the industry, Samsung was hoping to make an under-screen fingerprint reader work. When that didn't pan out, the company instead slapped the fingerprint reader next to the camera as a last-second change. Apparently, the in-screen fingerprint readers won't be ready for the Note 8 either—the major disappointment of this render is an identical fingerprint reader placement to the Galaxy S8.

    The Galaxy Note 8 will be official unveiled August 23, when Samsung has a launch event planned.

    Design Clues

    I think the major design clue will be from the S8+ , so it would be a bit larger S8 plus with hopefully two cameras on the back which couldn't make it to the S8, my major concern is the fingerprint scanner position, hoping that Samsung take that in to account and work on it..
