Glass pane shatters - now they know the feeling of their iPhone X customers!

So when the screen was praised as the best ever, it was due to "Apple's brilliant design". Now that there's a problem, it's a "Samsung defect".

Amazing how that works.

“Works most of the time.” That’s a phrase I’m reading in other reviews also. Well, “most of the time” isn’t good enough. It has to work EVERY time or people will simply abandon it. If you have to repeat the process a second time once in a while that’s going to be be a problem. But let's assume that the AI involved will learn and get better with time.

TouchID fails all the time for me. Sweaty fingers, dirty screen, gloves in the winter (just doesn't work), I cut my thumb a few weeks ago and had to use my left hand for a week to unlock my phone. I can't wait for FaceID. 

"Dirty screen". Has anyone commented on how solid FaceID is when those fancy cameras, illuminators, and dot projectors are gunked up with sweat, body oils, and makeup? I mean, that is the part you hold to your ear when talking...

I can take the phone out of my pocket while pressing the Home button on the way out. So, it's ready when I look at it. Plus, I don't have to "swipe up" to get to the home screen. Honestly, I can't see how Face ID is supposed to be faster and why does it even matter? Face, fingerprint. Same to me. I don't see anything special, it's just different.

Have fun with your Mercedes phone!

Precisely. It's an unwritten rule that when you have a top-of-the-line Mercedes or BMW you don't whine that it costs 4x to fix than a Honda Civic. You want to run with the big dogs, you've got to lift your tail a little higher.
