    Fingerprint Sensor Disappointing

    So far, I like everything about the S20+ except the in-screen fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint sensor is too small and it only works about 75% of the time. The in-screen fingerprint sensor on my OnePlus 7 Pro was far superior. BTW, the S20+ still has the factory installed screen protector...

    Mate 9 Has Become My Favorite Phone

    Post your Galaxy Note 8 Home Screen
