Question is can the face recognition be abused? Can I unlock the phone with a photo?

No.. the phone have to scan your retina to unlock.

haha... for me it is just a technical matter. Example: if you lost your S8 when you are out for lunch somewhere. Someone else might have stolen or pick up the phone left unattended. Most likely we are just worry whether our precious data inside will be used by others. In such typical situation, most likely the fellow will not have a photo of you to unlock your phone even if the phone can be unlocked with a photo.

anyway, we shall try it out after we get our S8.

btw, can the latest Samsung phones like S7E and Note 7 be hard-locked by owners? Meaning if one do not have the password or authentic way to unlock the phone, it will be locked forever even if you hard reset the device. I think latest Iphone has this anti-theft feature - correct me if I am wrong.

Can use pcbs to block the phone from use in any telco in malaysia

tempted for this s8. been using note 2 and 4. suppose to go note 7 last year too. should i wait for note 8? D: lets see wad the preorder offers on 11 april haha. might pul the trigger on this !!

I CANNOT.

saw this on fb

Standard answer same as last year,
kena bom kaw kaw also give the standard answer...

Parking here.. still no news for pricing..most likely getting one unit of S8+

Not sure if can hard lock as u mentioned but if u are using norton anti-virus, there are options for u to lock the device if SIM is removed or changed and wipes all data after 10 failed unlock attempts.

The above 2 method can also be found in default phone setting except it allows 15 failed unlock attempts before it wipes your data.

With these at least your details and samsung pay especially are protected in a way the other person could not have access.

I skip 2 notes then note 7 recall. Can't wait di

Use the find my samsung. Function.

Qualcomm locked Samsung from being able to sell their own chipset in certain region due to immense 4g patents.

The Woolworths deal with cash rewards works out to be around $840 for the s8+.

Or,
Because Qualcomm filed the patent earlier than Exynos in certain region so Samsung had no choice but to follow suit, otherwise to follow lawsuit.

Same concept to why Xperia was not getting FP on Power button activated in USA (HP had the pattern) but the underlying hardware is identical (in fact just need to flash EU rom to activate them)

In the world of patent, its all about who gets in first and secure the entrance. Other that want to come must pay the toll fee or get sue. Otherwise, get lost.

Well as usual Malaysian or rather Asean variants will almost certainly received the Exynos version. Im not complaining because usually the Exynos version performs better.

ya I know then why don't just use snapdragon processor for all country

speechless

A beautiful phone indeed..looking forward to try it out

Find my samsung only locate my device but does not guarantee I'm getting back my device leh..haha
