Same reason they would care enough to post in a thread about one.

Biggest mistake I ever made was getting an iPhone.  Apple wants to control every aspect of how you use your shit.  Fuck that noise.

That's a fair criticism. The fingerprint scanner is located on the back on the phone, right next to the camera lens. It's akwardly placed at best, and not really practical. Being that I use a case anyway, I'm not going to be using it. Still odd that they elected to go that direction with the design though.

Not posting about the phone change, posting about the stupidity that created the post.

Two different reasons, yet that's unapparent to the mentally challenged.

Another proud contribution to the intellectual decline of GD.

Mine's been working pretty well thus far, the only real issue I've encountered is that it doesn't seem to like water on your fingertip. If you enable the iris scanner (tinfoil incoming) it can be used as a quick backup method to unlock the phone if the fingerprint reader can't get a good enough image.

Obviously that system comes with its own set of issues (even though it has its own near-IR illuminator, I've found that poor ambient lighting can still throw it off) but it's nice to have another alternative before having to type in a pin or password to unlock the phone. Plus if you're a Samsung Pay user and think it's cool to pay for stuff with your fingerprint, it's downright 007-ish to make a purchase with your eyeballs

You guys complaining about the fingerprint sensor on the S8 should have bought a Oneplus 3T.

Fastest fingerprint sensor out there.  6GB Ram.  Snapdragon 821.  Very minimal OS fuckery, so it's lightning quick.

I went from my Nokia to a Samsung S4, that just died after three years (?) The only reason I switched was because I didn't want to carry a separate camera. I do not like having all my crap integrated across multiple devices.  For example, I DESPISE gmail, but I manage to avoid most of that with Samsung.  I hate this new personal assistant thing "Bixby" ??? It doesn't seem to grasp that I want nothing to do with it.  

Anyway I just switched to an 8, I had to spend $50 on a screen protector because of the edge feature.  It better last, I'm always a cunt hair away from going back to a flip phone.

I'm a ludite.

Samsung is far better than Apple when it comes to phones. And I have probably bought 20+ Apple computers in the last 10 years. iPhone and iOS is the worst thing that ever happened to Apple.

I've had the S8+ since launch and just took it to Florida for a week. This S8 is absolutely the best phone I've ever owned. It's really not even close. 

This is coming from someone who's last 3 phones were the S7 Edge, Pixel XL, and iPhone 7 Plus.

There certainly are some android users who constantly change launchers and customizations for the sake of change.  They're basically the ricers of the cell phone world.

Not everyone does that.  Some people do customizations that improve how they use their phone and then leave it alone.  Apple doesn't let you do that.  Android does.  Android works better for me because of that.

Also, android has a better selection of hardware.  For example, I detest phones with small batteries, which is every Apple phone AFAIK.  

Finally, there is cost.  Apple makes flagship phones and that is it.  Not everyone wants to pay flagship prices.
