This sentence from the NY Times review of the Galaxy Note 8 has always stuck with me.
>Some of the biometrics, including the ability to unlock your phone by scanning your face or irises, are so poorly executed that they feel like marketing gimmicks as opposed to actual security features.

- sundvor 7y agoThe face unlock from the S8 onwards had a huge disclaimer page you had to accept saying it was a convenience feature only, do not use if security is important.
