Hes saying both insecure so why not just use the more convenient one

Then someone who stole your phone must have your picture.. i.e its your relative or friend, or a professional..

Guys, android is not that secure after all.. there are plenty u can do by just booting into recovery mode, don't even need to bother about all those security.. for me the security unlock is merely to prevent someone easily unlock my phone to use without permission (i.e my wife.. shhh.. )

so far i think it's stil work ok for me , who else will know my face if i drop my phone in middle of street

i don't think the Pattern is Convenient , the pattern u need to slide , while i can unlock my phone with 1 hand with face reg Raise up ur phone , press unlock button with left hand , ur right hand is on the screen and ready to open the apps


i only use pattern to unlock when i wake up from bed , and the light is stil dark , or when my phone is on flat of table Else face reg work the best for me

yeah u get the point , i don't let my kid to unlock my phone , and my 4 year old kid won't know using picture to unlock my phone , my wife can't unlock my phone too , she not even bother too actually because she is apple fan

Face unlock is more faster and convenient.

yes, android cant stop anyone from accessing recovery and fully reformatting it

but then now im not sure if this is a samsung or android feature, there is something called FRP locking

where if thief wants to access the stolen phone through a custom recovery (without formatting)

once they flash a custom recovery, the phone will not boot until you reflash stock.. which results in a full wipe as well so your data will not be stolen


however, i do agree.. that is the downside of android. without cable and pc can just access recovery and give it a full wipe

Yup only way is custom recovery. It uses your screen lock. But for Sammy will void knox.
Isnt it the same for iphone using a PC?

not true,, u can reboot the device if safe recovery and flash from there.

I think if your phone is stolen can already expect knox trip

So it doesn't matter already because the thief will try to trip knox anyway

But if you have a police report and phone recovered

Can probably submit for a motherboard replacement with no charge or just labour charge

Not sure about that

Considering that I have managed to unlocked my friend's phone that using pattern lock as security in the past just by seeing him doing it for one or 2 times from afar....I wouldn't dare to think that pattern unlock is more secure even for one second.

At least for the face unlock, you would need to invest and do some preparation to pull that off.

Sure that both of these security is not secure but it was laughable for you to suggest a pattern unlock as an alternative.

Well not much negative comments on this phone this time?
Well there are always pro n con in any phone including the renown iPhone.
I will wait for price drop this time before buying it. I had always been one of the early ones on preorder
Looking at trend past 2 years I am sure a discounted rm300 to 400 is possible

I thought money is not an issue for you. So now why uncle wait for discount?

negative - batt cap

and same old same old s8


plus side first dual aperture lens

also they marketed AR so hard with their emoji

its not even funny

at least better than iphone emoji. you can use your face as emoji

Oh wow SME only give Harman Kardon mini speaker for PO? I see it will be a trend from now on from SME. No more % discount. I bought the bigger one for RM400 2 years ago, and this mini priced at RM699. I will pass this time and will wait for Limited/Special Edition. Maybe around June.

I strike u a deal bro. I buy the phone, sell you the box for Rm400. How? Deal?
