Fitting advice

Phone parts are delicate. We recommend fitting by a qualified repair technician.

Test the part before final installation, before any adhesive or seal is applied. Parts with adhesive applied can’t be returned for change of mind.

Product Description

✦ For Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8 Plus Fingerprint Reader Scanner (Orchid Grey)

This Orchid Grey fingerprint reader/scanner is a replacement for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. It is the part to choose when the scanner on your S8 or S8 Plus has stopped reading, is cracked or was lost in a previous repair.

It is an internal part, so the phone has to be opened before it can be changed. Both models are covered by this one listing.

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.

⚠️ Important — Please Read Before Purchase
  • The S8 and S8 Plus need heat and careful prying to open, so professional installation is recommended.
  • Flex cables are fragile; disconnect and reconnect them gently.
  • Some fingerprint sensors are paired to the main board, so a replacement may not bring fingerprint unlock back.
  • Test the scanner before sealing the phone.
  • 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.
Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 remain unaffected for faulty or not-as-described items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Orchid Grey scanner fit both the S8 and the S8 Plus?

What is supplied with the S8 Orchid Grey fingerprint scanner?

Do I have to open the S8 to fit the scanner?

Will an S8 fingerprint unlock work after the swap?

It cannot be promised. Some fingerprint sensors are paired to the main board, so a new scanner in a Samsung Galaxy S8 may not restore biometric unlock.
