The facial biometrics on the s8 were easily hackable. Maybe there is a reason that Samsung didn’t advertise this. Sept 2014 use of biometrics by Apple for financial transactions. Where was android?S8 launch date 29.3.17 ability to use face unlock with Android Pay. iPhone X launch with face ID 3.11.17 ability to use Apple Pay.

Moving goalposts again? You could just as easily ask where Apple were when the rest of the developed world were using contactless payments.
However, we were discussing Apple/Android Pay with Face Unlock. The point you are missing is that regardless of whether Samsung Face unlock was secure or not Android Pay is very secure which makes what you claim somewhat irrelevant.
Actually the discussion is the in screen fingerprint reader on the one plus which eventually and predictably moved to Android vs iPhone. I adjusted the goal posts from your earlier movement. However be that as it may you seem to be correct right in that hackable and insecure face technology on the s8 seemingly could be used for pay transactions. Go figure, that’s what gives android a bad name.
How so? The Android Pay transaction remains bullet proof so it never becomes an issue.

Note article explicitly says Face ID will not work with Samsung pay or secure folder. So you are incorrect and Apple releases the first face technology that is used for pay authentication. Now what about that product knowledge?
Indeed. My iPhone is harnessed to my handlebars to display destination information (gps, map, speed, etc.).
I need two Sim cards for two phone numbers.
I carried a personal phone and a work phone.
Now I carry one phone with two SIM cards. I might have bought an iPhone but Verizon doesn't have eSIM working for either the iPhone Xs/r or the Pixel 3.
Nope you misread the article. Read the very first sentence it says it all. If you want to refute the article please cite some evidence.Hmm! I'm sure I said Android Pay not Samsung. Nice try though.

Both the author and yourself clearly do not understand how Android Pay works. All I need to do in order to use Android Pay is 'wake up' the phone and hold it to the card reader. Hence Face unlock works a treat.
As usual Apple has to complicate the uncomplicated. It's back to school for you m'lad.
If it's a choice between using a more trusted source, BGR wins, unless you have a citation that shows this article to be wrong. Basically your phone can be hacked and your bank account drained, seems like a secure system.Both the author and yourself clearly do not understand how Android Pay works.

I don't have to understand how it works, all I have to do is show a source that says it "doesn't" work with facial authentication on at least one platform. And I did.
Off to the corner facing the wall for you.
But Android Pay doesn't need facial recognition or fingerprint come to that. The only requirement is you have to 'wake up' the screen, hold to reader, transaction made, it's that simple.If it's a choice between using a more trusted source, BGR wins, unless you have a citation that shows this article to be wrong.

Even if the phone is hijacked or stolen than any transactions made will be refunded - it's in the terms and conditions both for Google and your bank.
You've drunk so much 'apple juice' over the years that you have become paranoid. Maybe Apple Pay works in a different way, but take it from me, Android Pay works exactly as I have described. I have used it twice today already, no fingerprint or face recognition required.
The article was pretty clear and it said “mobile pay authentication” systems. However unlike android users such as yourself I’m not used to chasing banks for refunds, which is why I drink the “Apple kool-aid”.But Android Pay doesn't need facial recognition or fingerprint come to that.

Which was clearly to misunderstand how Android Pay works. AP is just as secure as Apple Pay but then I guess you already know that.The article was pretty clear and it said “mobile pay authentication” systems.

I have made my point and won't be replying further as you cleary have a problem admitting when you have got something wrong.
Actually android pay is not as secure, even through it requires authentication, but not in the same way as Apple. BGR has already proved you’re incorrect and I guess you know that.
Point is made and nothing further to respond to. I’ll take the high road keep the personal stuff out of this. Thanks.
I just purchased an iPhone 8. My first Touch ID phone.
And I have to say that I am super impressed with the speed and accuracy and the fact that it takes me straight in every time, unlike my iPad Mini 4 which is much slower and often after it unlocks the iPad it then tells me to hit the home button again to take me in. Whaaaat???
So I'm really loving touch ID! .... and I can now see why a lot of X/XS/XR owners miss it.
Perhaps Apple will come up with a hybrid Face ID/In-screen Touch ID phone? That way in certain situations, such as if you're wearing a motorbike helmet or a dust mask/protective glasses, then touch ID would be really beneficial.
And then the two ID's could be used as a form of 2 factor authentication perhaps....
