The ones on the S9 are good, intelligent scan and the FPS are good enough.

Except that they aren't good. The stupid eye scanner still requires you to pull the phone on a right angle to the eyes, the face scanner can still be fooled with a photo, fingerprint on the back right below the camera. So yeah, I still prefer one that works great then three mediocre.

Face ID is even worse and easier to circumvent. Just use someone else's face.


This couple should be facing each other and not shoulder to shoulder. of they truly wanted to demonstrate that failure.

They’ve combined the iris scanner and face unlock together so it now works better and intelligent scan can’t be fooled by a photo now. Face ID is better but the 3 methods on the S9 are good enough now.
 
Aside from the Samsung and iPhone differences between the phones, consumers really choose which *ecosystem* they prefer, either iOS or android. But I think the main reason why iOS has a significant adoption rate because of the extended iOS support and security features.
When it comes to the lay consumers, they usually simply pick a phone that look cool and can show their status. Some sees Samsung brand as the better status symbol, some sees it’s Apple. That’s about it. There’s a reason Samsung is spending ungodly amount of money for marketing, so people can recognize and prefer their brand just because.

It’s not like HTC haven’t spend ridiculous amounts of money on bad advertising campaigns in the past, even paying famous American actors to do their bidding. Apple also spend a fair bit on advertising too and give a lot of their products away to sports stars and pop stars and their products get featured on popular TV shows.

Did I say nobody else does it?
 
Their most secure thing (Iris scan) can be fooled with a black and white photocopy paper IR photo and a pair of contact leses.

I don't understand why so many people online act like that video of those guys bypassing the iris scanner is still viable today. Samsung stated ages ago that they will fix the vulnerability that allowed that method to work.
There is no other proof on an Iris scanner vulnerability beyond that exact clip. Doesn't that seem strange?
 
I get excited when I hear about the next Samsung phone coming up. I stopped getting excited about iPhones a few years ago.

I really love my S9+.

It’s not like Face ID and Touch ID have never been bypassed either. There are plenty of videos on that too.

The S10 sounds amazing and the galaxy X too.

Well the X plus I’m only interested in because of the larger display. We haven’t really heard much about the 2019 iPhone yet.

With Samsung's Iris Scanner there is only 1 clip and that's all.
Also the guys that made that clip refused to test Note 8's and S9's Iris scanners? why?

Taking in consideration this info Samsung's Iris Scanner is still the safest biometric authentication method in a phone.

I think the intelligent scan on the S9 is really good. It easier to use than the iris scanner on its own but is just as secure as the iris scanner. It can’t be fooled with a picture.

I am willing to bet this is Chinese knockoff, they are really great at looking like real iPhone but they are all over China and I have seen them for myself as I do have family from Taiwan and here about what they can get.
 
Sorry to disagree, dude.

Your idol makes do with small format phones after re-using two to three-year old bin parts.

[And do not acuse me with the easy moniker being a hater. This is coming from a very satisfied owner of two iPhone SE (64G). Both bought cash and carry for wife and myself on the first day of announcement, after waiting one month for delivery. And, at present, me praying to the iPhone Gods that your idol gives the green light to the iPhone SE Mark II. But not holding my breath]​

If you really bought on the first day, you would know the iPhone SE was released with the then current iPhone 6s CPU and SOC.

I really did -- actually bought two cash-and-carry.

I know that the A9/M9 pair is shared with the 6S. But my point was more on the TouchID technology (Gen 1 vis. Gen 2), and the front camera (not that we care for selfies).

As I said before, I believe now that the SE line is going EOL as my fav. 4-in form-factor is seen as unacceptable by single-mobile-device users.

iPhone face ID hack is definitely a knockoff.
Samsung Iris scanner hack is unquestionably 100% genuine.

Hmmmmm :p

Sure. Just like you use to claim the iPhone X oled display is from a Samsung s6.
Keep making stuff up.

Not s6 display :p
But X oled display tech is equivalent to s6 generation display.

And I didn't make it up. :p It was from article written by Eldar Muztazin of mobile-review.com

Quoting paid Samsung shills again...what would that make you :p.
 
Be careful fella, the WAY you go on, some would accuse you of being an apple shill!! Cos if you wernt being paid for this constant defense of Apple, I can't quite see why you would do it? ..

ok, as someone who used an S6 for 3 years, and compared it actively when shopping for a new phone, no, I can confirm, that the S6 display is anything, anywhere close to the quality of the iPhone X. This isn't just subjectively noticable, but any single measurement that can be measured about display quality has said that the iPhone X is one of the best displays ever on a smartphone. Both the S9 and iPhoneX screens are bloody amazing and are nearly imperceptibly different.

The S6 display is still damn good, but it's not in the same class as the new AMOLED's samsung is capable of today.

I think the mobile-review.com article was mentioning the screen tech. Newer screen from Samsung S7,s8,s9 are much more advanced than Iphone X. E.g. support AOD, advanced dynamic brightness/contrast (which can lit up certain area of the screen - not just bump the brightness up for whole screen like X), much higher resolution than X, curved screen, higher peak brightness....so NO, Iphone X doesnt have recycled screen from S6 like some of you seems to think...but more the tech capability of IPX screen can only match up to S6 generation screen.

Uh huh.
That’s ironic coming from you.

From a poster that is trolling Apple so hard they don’t even notice when someone is talking about a google pixel.

I get you don’t like Apple or it’s users no need to constantly lash out, this is an Apple forum if you haven’t noticed, full of consumers and professionals who use a variety of Apple products. No need to feign surprise when you encounter users that actually *gasp* use Apple products and prefer them to the alternative.

Please leave me alone, this is stalking now.. I don't want to block you, but I will if i have to...

This was your reply when you get called out.
Classic.
