[* black] The fingerprint sensor lives in the rear case, [http://mashable.com/2017/03/29/samsung-galaxy-s8-terrible-fingerprint-location/#Yoir9SVr6mqD|somewhat controversially placed|new_window=true]. Using the thing (with your right hand) requires blindly stretching and blotting out the camera...
[* black] The good news is that this sensor is modular and can be popped right off its adhesive for replacement. All it takes is a little heat and a good push.
- [* icon_note] No word (yet) whether software locks ([http://ifixit.org/blog/9020/no-fix-iphone-7-home-button/|à la iPhone 7|new_window=true]) will prevent a replacement from functioning.
+ [* icon_note] There is no software block to restrict you changing out the sensor so if required the full functionality of the fingerprint scanner will be kept with a replacement scanner.
