Samsung's Galaxy S series is the "fixed" flagship of Android every year. Considering the failure of Note7 due to battery burning this year, the Galaxy S8 and S8 edge next year are bound to bear the responsibility for the rise of the family. We have seen many related rumors before, but on December 16, South Korean media Naver revealed that S8 would change to post fingerprint identification, which is a huge gap from the previous rumors of integrating fingerprint identification module under the screen.

The advantage of the post fingerprint scheme is that there is no need to open a hole in the front, which is convenient for normal holding and unlocking. Since the iPhone 5s started to do positive press fingerprint recognition, many Android platform manufacturers have experienced changes from post fingerprint to pre fingerprint, and mainstream groups prefer the pre fingerprint recognition scheme. The indirect impact of this change may include double clicking the home key to start the camera, or even the new machine may use a virtual key.

In addition, it is rumored that the Galaxy S8 will be equipped with the same iris recognition as Note7, which can alleviate the problem of fingerprint postposition to some extent. If it is true as shown in the rendering above, the screen share of S8 has already defeated that of the just released Zuk Edge. The main reason for canceling the frontal fingerprint identification this time is probably to increase the screen proportion, or to adopt the fingerprint identification scheme without holes.
