    I dont know why they’re making fingerprint a big deal. It’s actually a bad thing.

    It’s cool if you’re 10 and just watched a sci-fi movie sure but ultimately should be phased out of android/Linux.

      “Arguably a bad thing” rather. It’s better than face unlock for what it’s worth.

      Why should it be phased out?

      Its completely optional.
