They say it has a fingerprint scanner on the space key.

It's definitely got an unusual looking space bar.

Even if the space bar has a fingerprint sensor it shouldn't really look different. On the S7/S7 Edge the "home" button is also the fingerprint sensor and if you didn't know it you wouldn't think it was a fingerprint sensor as it just looks like a regular button.

Depends upon the render you are looking at, but most likely, yeah, it will be in the space bar.

That image is not a computer generated render, it is a photograph of an actual device, but it is also consistent with Dylan Habkirk's September 2016 render.

Or a BlackBerry patented fingerprint reader.
