Samsung Reportedly Skipping Display-Integrated Fingerprint Sensor On Galaxy Note 8

A render has just surfaced online which may have given us our first glimpse of the Galaxy Note 8.

If you’re​ thinking that it looks similar to a Galaxy S8, you wouldn’t be wrong. Recent leaks and rumors have been pointing to a similar design featuring the Infinity Display. Its also expected to have a dual-camera on the back and of course, a detachable S Pen.

However according to a new report, Samsung has decided against installing a display-integrated bio metric sensor on the Note 8 because the technology isn’t as secure.

A Samsung official said, “We made every effort to install a display-integrated fingerprint sensor on Galaxy Note 8, but we decided not to install it on this strategic phone due to various technical limitations such as security.”

Additionally, rumors are circulating claiming that Samsung is planning to unveil its next Galaxy Note in late August ahead of the iPhone 8 announcement. Its certainly plausible but only time will tell whether the new rumor is true or not.
