So I wasn't expecting to like it, but it's worse than I thought. It's almost flush with the back of the device, exactly like the camera. There is no way to "feel" for it. Almost indistinguishable from the camera horrible job Samsung.
If it's anything like the Note 7's Iris scanner, it should work pretty quickly.Watching Pocketnow reviews they even showed Samsung videos showing how you have to use two hands to use the fingerprint reader. Curious to know how fast the iris scanner works.
The fingerprint reader wasn't as bad to me when I held it in hand. Plus, once you throw a case on it with the cutout for camera/flash/fps, you'll know exactly where to place your finger. It only took me a few minutes in the store to get used to the location. A pocket now review shouldn't replace a personal experience
A case won't change the proximity of the camera and fingerprint reader but a case should help find it more easily. There's no question that Samsung put it way too high and in an awkward placeThe fingerprint reader wasn't as bad to me when I held it in hand.

I'm still baffled as to why they put it up there.
