Anonymous, 23 Oct 2019And why did the banks make those decisions?Galaxy S10 and Note10 currently read all fingerprints as the same. Any finger will work, even if the device has never seen it before.

        No bank does that here (Canada). Only suspicious (in another country) transactions are flagged. I obviously know about those "pending transactions" but if you fail to spot the transaction within 7 days, your money is lost.
        Of course most cards and banks have some kind of "zero liability" policy so if you get robbed from your cards you shall be fully reimbursed. But that's besides the point. It's easier to steal from a card than from any phone.

                use a pair of wireless headphones, less hassle and no wires to snag,
                Also with the memory available on handsets now, why do you need more space, i have a 256gb handset and still have over 125gb remaining, the handset has enough music and video files to keep me going for weeks.

                            No wonder apple did not implement the under the screen fingerprint scanner, they knew about the flaws, as usual apple waiting for the technology to mature before putting it on their devices.

                              This year wasn't smooth for Samsung at all.
                              Don't forget that it did better because Trump banned Huawei products. If Huawei didn't get banned who knows how bad that could be for Samsung.

                                Note 10 got the no slot treatment.

                                Yeah not really a good year.. given they got major issues on all their flagships.

                                  Samsung is on a roll, and this can easily be fixed with updates.

Please explain me, are you some kind of cave man? After transaction bank only reserves money, not sending them somewhere.

                                      I only can imagine "paying for: nothing, just stealing your money"
