Who's going to give their Honor 8 up for a Honor 9?

Double tap is useful. Really love that

Yup! And apparently (hope I didn't read this wrong) the HTC U11 also has double tap to unlock. I really need that feature in my next phone! When I first got my Honor 8 I quickly realized that I couldn't double tap that screen.

This is one reason why I LOVED my LG G3 - the double tap to unlock meant it didn't have to come off of my table, bedside table, bed, etc. Front fingerprint scanners are cut from the same cloth.

But if you use a secure lock screen then you still gotta enter the pin/ password or whatever if you use dttw.

Yah, it takes longer. But 4 digit pin takes a second to type in

It's not the time for me but the annoyance.

Ah yes, too true. I had a pattern unlock. How I miss it...

Pattern or pin lock is also less secure than fingerprint, IMO.

They're all badly secure.

Absolutely. Can't really guess with a fingerprint... .

Fingerprint is probably more secure for most people as people can see you entering your pin or pattern . Sure people can duplicate your finger print but it's much more difficult

Duplicating your finger print is more difficult but it has been done. And when iPhone center out with their finger print scanners, everyone was stating fingerprint scanners are not secure. I like them only cause it is faster. I do love the picture password from BlackBerry as well

BLACKBERRY'S PICTURE PASSWORD PROTECT SYSTEM WAS AWESOME - can't believe I'd forgotten about it!

Well there are a few issues with fps. First, LE can compel you to use fps to unlock the phone, but not pw or pin or pattern. Second some people thought that the data is stored online but it isn't, only in the local device.

And of course there is no 100% secure method.... Anything can be hacked. fps is one of the most secure commonly used method and also the easiest to use.

We need a blood scanner next to unlock our phone

Well I was going to get another Honor 8 but my boss and also best friend ordered me a free iPhone 7 with my service totally paid for. I could not turn that deal down. I'll wait on the honor 9 it looks to be now. I should get my new phone Monday sometime. I do miss having an honor though. That's for sure.

I think the 9 would be great except for the fact that it doesn't support LTE bands in the US

Well if they release one in the USA then it will support USA LTE

I thought you had an iPhone 7 before? But with the money saved, you can get the honor 9

True.
