The iris scanner works great except I have to open my eyes unnaturally wide for it to work. I have got quite squinty eyes though.

After a few.hours it was still showing the 'water ingress warning. Whilst I was researching what to do, the warning dissapeared and I could charge it.
It took 24 hrs before the fast charge worked though..

I am using this phone for two weeks now. Just applied a screen protector on the back. Still can't get used to the akward position of the fingerprint scanner though.

Also, for those wondering and/or confused, the iris scanner works in pitch black darkness. It uses infrared. It also works even when you have eyeglasses on.

Although admittedly, with all the number of screens samsung produces, there's bound to be a few instances. But too few to be insignificant. Inferior manufacturers like lg, however, well, the pixel 2 xl should serve as a decent example.

Your instinct will prompt you to pick it up immediately when accidentally drops in water.
Of course it will not take even 5 minutes to rescue your drowning phone. LOL!

[deleted post]Sorry but that problem was attributed years back. Android ecosystem has positively evolved so does Samsung too. Wrong choice going for an iPhone and again, it ain't ma business. Your wallet your purchase.

I owned S5 for tw... moreI had a S5 as well. Probably the best all round phone I ever owned. It had been in the canal, bath, shower, paddliing pool multiple times.
In fact the phone had got that wet, the water ingress sticker turned to pulp and fell off. Still worked fine. Got a battery ruined by water once, just replaced it - all good.
Wished the Note 4 was waterproof but you can't have everything

Anonymous, 25 Oct 2017No it doesn't.It does. In a dark room, not pitch black but illuminated by a TV for example, works fine.
I can confirm because I own one and have tried it.
Haven't bothered using the face unlock yet though

IP67 in S5 is much fragile, maybe you're the lucky one and I'm the unlucky one, but do you know how much fragile IP67 is? Do you know what happen to iPhone 7 if it gets drowning for an hour? Compared to S7? That's why Samsung switch to IP68 for more better resistance.
