It's because people like you actually defend them for taking options away and help push them to do it.
And radio is already enabled in soc.. they disable it.
3.5mm Jack's are extremely useful to way more people still. But you're type makes it so easy for them to take it away

They should have improve the accuracy and speed of the Iris Scanner, because I am sure not only me but others too hoped that the speed of unlocking with the Iris Scanner can be as fast as unlocking with a fingerprint scanner

        Just remember your password/pin. It is more secure IMHO. When your asleep they can just tap your fingers for FPS, When your dead they can just open shut wide your eyes for IS. lol

          Android OEMs really love to follow.

            That's unfortunate. I was hoping they would improve upon the iris scanner, not junk it. In my experience, it's much more intuitive than the fps. If they can make the facial recognition thing work in the dark then i believe i can live with that.

                        We don't give a shit

                          What happens if the SCREEN BREAKS...... Leave the fingerprint scanner on the back its more convenient, its well placed, fast and proven tech. The current FPS already does pulse and blood pressure. Just make that screen edge less and please a Temperature Gauge, IR Blaster, FM Radio, Micro SD, 3.5mm Jack and a Wall Stud finder lolol

                            S10 going to fail because sammy is really not making more progress these day comparing to other phone like VIVO NEX.

                                If I put a dog turd on ebay and it sold for $500, then that dog turd is worth $500.
                                If Samsung sell a phone for $1500 and people are willing to pay for it, then fair play to Samsung.
                                It's called business. It's why they make billions every year

                                    Where is that foldable S10 ah noowhere. Project were canceled despite a several millions has been put into research.
                                    Now what oh yes S10 will cost 1500+ due to cancelled project which took lot of money and Samsung needs them back somehow.
                                    So robbing inoccent people is the easiest way.

                                        Samsung flagships are such a bad value. They ditch updates (and thus the phones) after 2 years. Crazy to pay 1000 dollars for something that it becomes obsolete in 2 years.
