Re: Fingerprint scanner or not?
It depends but I read that Samsung improved it. We'll see.
I love the S5, was sad to let it go but the Finger Print Scanner was a PITA for me. I really gave it a chance but 60% success rate was not acceptable.
Well, my 2 cents now that I've had a chance to play with it. It's the best fingerprint sensor I've used. Granted, I haven't used everything and no Apple. But on my old laptop, it was really finicky. You had to do it JUST so. On this one (with 10 inputs), it seems to work first time, every time. No muss, no fuss, unless I'm really stupid and off center. It's fast and easy. And I also like being able to see my entire lock screen wallpaper without the keyboard getting in the way! That's just a bonus.
The only thing I don't like--apparently the theft alert features of various programs (like Lookout) won't work with fingerprints as opposed to passcodes.
Easy.. My phone stays on me or right with me. Who do you have grabbing your phone to go through it?
.
Someone who steals it, grabs the phone, with Gmail and text access, your 2-step verifications are nullified,etc.
