Product Description
This Gold fingerprint reader/scanner is made for the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus (SM-G955F). Choose it if the scanner on your S8 Plus has stopped reading fingerprints or has been damaged and needs replacing.
It is fitted inside the phone, so the S8 Plus must be opened first. Check the model code before you order, because the S8 Plus code differs from the smaller S8 and the wrong variant will not suit. Fitting is a job for a repairer used to small connectors.
Key Features & Highlights
Compatibility
- Galaxy S8 Plus (SM-G955F)
Signs Your Fingerprint Sensor Needs Replacing
- Fingerprints are no longer recognised or cannot be registered.
- The phone reports that the fingerprint hardware is unavailable.
- The sensor surface is cracked, scratched or loose.
- The home or power key built into the sensor does not click (if your model has one).
- Note: on many phones the sensor is paired to the main board, so a replacement sensor may restore the button but not fingerprint unlock.
How to Check Your Model Number
On the phone or tablet go to Settings › About phone (or About tablet). The model number starts with SM- (for example SM-A145R). It is also printed on the box the phone came in.
Specifications
- The S8 Plus is opened with heat and careful prying, so professional installation is recommended.
- Take care with any flex cable, as it tears easily.
- Some fingerprint sensors are paired to the main board, so a replacement may not bring fingerprint unlock back.
- Test the scanner before closing the S8 Plus.
- Replacement parts are model-specific — check that your device matches the model shown above before ordering.
- Professional fitting is recommended where the device has to be opened; flex cables and connectors are easily damaged.
- Test the part before sealing the device or applying new adhesive.
- If you are unsure which part you need, contact us with your model number before ordering.
