Be tied to certain elements that are passwords Your brand has its advantages and disadvantages. In the iPhone it means that you always have to leave a space at the bottom that is untouchable every time you want to think of another design that leads to a change to that new device, which is in itself a stumbling block for the freedom of those who they design these types of products.

And this seems to going to root out Samsung for its next Galaxy S8, and according to several reports, the next flagship of the Korean manufacturer would get rid of its iconic home button. This speculation comes from the own information of imbue the fingerprint sensor on the screen and waiting for orders to manufacture the terminal.

Before you know that the Galaxy S8 will have a 90% screen / volume ratio, we had the news that it would possibly integrate an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner implemented on the same screen. This news is associated with that of the Mi MIX, which has the same sensor embedded in the panel, and the result is a Galaxy S8 that possibly has a great resemblance to the Chinese manufacturer.

So we know that those in charge of making the most important parts of the Galaxy S8, like those for the space needed for the scanner and other parts, are still waiting for orders for it, so we are faced with a speculation that may have a lot of truth: the eradication of the iconic home button of the Galaxy S8.

If we look into one of the biggest advantages of the ultrasonic scanner, surely it is not a crazy idea, and what my partner Jordi spoke about 1 month ago, that physical button disappears to let the sensor read the fingerprint even when the hand is wet or in a lot of sweat, a problem phone makers still find themselves in with those biometric readers.

We will see where it is and if those pretty dreams become reality.
