I call BS. I tried myself to fool the facial recognition on my S8+, it's nowhere near being that easy. He could have easily rest his finger on the finger sensor to give the illusion. Also there is a setting called "faster recognition" when enabled makes it less secure but faster.
I really like the idea of the iris scanner so I think I'll be using that with the FPS.
But I also like the idea of touching on the home button to unlock, or using a voice command (bixby) when I'm at home.
There are so many ways to unlock this thing, it's insane!
Also I agree the facial recognition is secure enough.

Cnet clearly states they tried it on their own phone to see if the video was accurate. Call it what you like but there is no reason to doubt it if the S8 has the same issue. I'll test it myself when mine arrives tomorrow.
The thing is this only really is an issue for someone that knows you. The average thief in the street, or if you leave you phone somewhere, or it falls out of your pocket. In those situations anyone who finds your phone isn't going to have a picture of you.
Someone who knows you will have a picture of you, but it's likely that they could also find other ways of getting into your phone.

I'm quite small and weirdly enough I found myself being able to reach the fingerprint sensor without much trouble.
Maybe in day to day use it'd be more inconvenient I guess? I want to use the iris scanning anyway, loved it last year as felt so cool lol.
So difficult to really test this out as in town all the notes on display or bolted down to the table. Anyway I will find a way when my phone gets here.
