AnonD-292864, 17 Mar 2017I don't trust facial recognition. I think anyone can unlock... moreApparently it has 3 cameras in the front, maybe they will be using 2 or all 3 of them to be sure that the face has a heat signature or better yet it is in 3d

    I don't trust facial recognition. I think anyone can unlock your phone by showing a photo or a selfie from instagram, facebook etc.. to the facial recognition sensor.

      Lots of leaks on the day, less on the camera. Hopefully a lot better than the S7.

                  So in Sweden... I have to buy a phone from Samsung to be able to use mobile payments that simulate the magnetic strip on credit cards? Why base an entire payment system on phones from one single private foreign company?

                      Buying grocery and trying to pay at the cashier with Samsung Pay be like, "Wait, let me scan my fingerprint. And my iris. And my face. Ok, done."
