I love the bixby button!

People constantly complain about the bixby button on Samsung devices, and I don't get it. I just got myself a Galaxy S9 and that button is probably one of my favorite features!

Why doesn't dual factor authentication exist on locksreens?

You only get to choose one option nowadays, but I think that combining two would make our phones so much more secure:

**Know my PIN? No big deal because my face/fingerprint needs to be recognized as well.**

​

I think that a ton of progress has been made with making phone security more convenient for us, but we should have the option to s...

P30 Pro initial thoughts from a regular user

Will keep this short as I've only been using it for three days.

* On opening the box, first reaction is, wtf, where's the screen protector???
* Second reaction, where the f's the silicon case like I had with P20 pro???
* Third reaction, not even a USB-C headphone adapter? The cheap bastards!
