I don't believe that this is the S8 its too far from the Samsung style of phone.

Alright I still like the home button, I don't want to press the side button to wake it up every time.
Also if the fingerprint reader is on the back, how can I use a phone case with it? I don't think it is shockproof, I can't handle such a big phone.

Android phones have had finger printer readers on the back now for 2+ years. The cases have holes to allow the finger to touch the reader.

Not sure how well the home button f.p. scanner worked on other phones, but on my Note 4 it is a waste. I have set mine up numerous times, and it can never read my f.p.

I think the FP reader has improved a great deal. Mine on the N5 works great and I have not heard many complaints about them recently. I believe this phone also has an iris scanner. It will be interesting to see how well that will work.

I set mine up twice and now it works well. The first time it worked occasionally, but after I added another user account, now it can read my fingerprint quickly. It is worth mention, both accounts are my thumb.

I seem to remember the few Note7 users here giving a to the iris scanner.
