AirPods work with android devices but they are no different to any other Bluetooth headphones. The W1 chip features don’t work.
Well to be fair Airpods works quite well but limited on features on Android, I had to set up touch features on an iPad, and then they work on Android too, but there was no way to set them on Android (might be an Android issue not an Apple one, not blaming either or here just reporting my findings).

Still as said they work, with limited features (if you do not own an iOS to set them up) but they work.
 
You failed to mention that the S9 and Note 8 had iris recognition turned off. The default "face recognition" on both of these phones uses face and iris, and that configuration was also "impenetrable." You have to manually set the Samsung phones to a lower security unlock method, which they warn you not to do, in order for them to fail. This wasn't an apples to apples comparison; it was more of an apples to oranges that had been deliberately modified in order to lose comparison.

It makes a good story though.
