The sex without eroticismsingle worst thing about the Galaxy S8 is easily its relocated fingerprint sensor. Whoever thought it was a smart idea to put it right next to the back camera should get a slap on the wrist because it's just terrible.
Not only is the S8's fingerprint sensor in an incredibly difficult-to-access spot compared to on the S7/S7 Edge, which had the sensor embedded into the home button on the front of the phone, but you're also likely going to smudge the back camera with your naturally greasy fingerprints every single time you go to use it.
SEE ALSO: Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ are gorgeous—but far from perfectIt's one thing to feel like we're just being dramatic and nitpicking on a design decision, but it's another when Samsung's basically telling people that, yeah,the fingerprint sensor's off-center location wasn't a smart idea, and you will indeed likely grease up the phone's camera lens.
According to Android Authority, after setting up the fingerprint sensor on the S8 and S8+, a special note will appear in the camera app to — get this — remind you to clean your camera lens.
The pop-up reminder reportedly reads: "A clean lens makes for better shots. Clean your camera lens to keep taking better pictures."
Really, Samsung? This is just like when Apple told us we were all holding our iPhone 4's wrong during Antennagate.
While it's always good practice to clean your phone's camera lens (or any camera lens, for that matter) to take better, smudge-free photos, reading between the lines of the friendly reminderclearly suggests the fingerprint sensor's location was a compromise Samsung was forced to make because the technology to embed the fingerprint sensor underneath the glass display wasn't ready in time.
Android Authoritysays the pop-up reminder won't appear every single time you launch the S8's camera, and it's unclear how frequent it'll show up and whether you can disable it to never show up again after the first time.
We're not saying Apple wouldn't commit such a crime, but how can you not shake your head and LOL at the situation? Like, I said in my Galaxy S8 hands-on -- you might want to remember to keep a microfiber handy (maybe find one that's attached to a keychain or something) if you plan on buying the S8 when it comes out on April 21.
