Laughs in Galaxy S8 where the fingerprint scanner only works if all planets are properly aligned which happens only once in 28 years.

Dude I have this old Galaxy XCover thing for my work phone and I swear to god I've wasted 3x as much time repeating the stupid fingerprint unlock over and over than if I just always used my PIN. It's such a piece of shit.

"Cover the entire fingerprint sensor" "The fingerprint doesn't match" "Try wiping the fingerprint sensor" "Try fingerprint again in 28 seconds"

Try going ahead and fucking off, Samsung.
