Samsung Galaxy S8 has a number of protective measures. The phone can be unlocked via a password, sequence, fingerprint scanner or facial recognition. It isn’t news that the phone’s fingerprint scanner does not work all that great – if previous leaks are to believed, it is why the phone has a facial recognition in the first place. Now, a YouTube user nicknamed MarcianoPhone is proving (though perhaps not beyond any doubt) that S8’s facial recognition is flawed as well.MarcianoPhone has uploaded a video in which he unlocks the phone using its facial recognition ...

Waaah, Samsung with Windows OS, what to do, what to do, waaaah, panic… no, nothing like that. It is just that Windows has seemingly decided that, if its phones do not sell very well, it will try to cash in on Galaxy S8’s success. This cooperation seems to be half-hearted at best, though, as its only result is Microsoft Edition, which is a completely normal Galaxy S8 with few Windows features: Cortana assistant (as if Samsung didn’t already have Bixby), OneDrive and Office. Most of those things you can already get on Play store anyway.Meh. ...

Remember how I wrote about Samsung not having enough CPU’s to cover the expected demand for the Galaxy S8 phones? Well, the company is denying any such problems. DJ Koh (awesome name), chief of Samsung Mobile, has officially stated that there will be ”no issue of supply delay” because the company is ”preparing the supply without difficulty”. The issue I wrote about two days ago was that Samsung’s factories cannot produce enough Snapdragon 835 chipsets to cover the number of S8/S8+ being made. Now we’re hearing that this will not be the case. Will ...

Best Buy will be offering the unlocked versions of these phones only three weeks after the carrier versions will launch. We do not mind, but we do notice how different it is from how Samsung treated the S7 model (unlocked S7’s eventually became available, yes, but only after three months). The good news is, unlocked S8’s will be slightly cheaper than their locked versions, costing $725 and $825 respectively. The bad news is, you cannot pre-order them, at least not now, which means that you can’t get those sweet Gear Vr googles and other cool items. ...
