They will fix that with a software update just like Google did....I'd not be surprised if it isn't fixed on the production version.

Besides, you should be using iris scanning or fingerprint scanning for real security anyway. The facial unlock should be used similar to the swipe to unlock action...aka with another secure entry feature like pass code, fingerprint scan, or iris scan.

That was already known. It's not secure.
My s3 had that and it clearly stated that it wasn't secure when you picked that option

I want physical buttons. I like having physical buttons.

I know once the phone turns two and the kill-update is sent, physical buttons make it easier to deal with locked up screens.

Same with being able to pull the battery. I have to pull the battery on my phone a few times a week.
Was my favorite phone ever until it turned 2 and started fricking up.

I have no issue with physical buttons.

I was just pointing out that the poster kept claiming the pixel/pixel XL were terrible because of their physical home buttons, which they don't have.

The whole less bezel thing is just another gimmick imo. I don't really care if there is bezel or not. The screens are fricking huge enough these days. I don't know why people are creaming over it.

A bigger screen in a smaller physical form is a gimmick? Can't say I agree with that at all.

Yea but having a huge screen on a not so huge device is what I'm after.

I guess just to me. I don't really see a lot of phones where the bezel makes the phone that much bigger. And even if you have a bezel-less phone it's going to have one after you put a case on it

Does anyone know how the promo redemption will work if I preordered thru sprint? Will I not be able to redeem until I have the phone? Samsung says you can start on 4/10. I'd like to get the memory card and Bluetooth headphones for $99, but I'm worried they will be gone by then
