We Can't Stop it. This Gimmick is Ruining Our Smartphones & the Pixel 4 is Next 🤦‍♂️

Smartphone sales are declining for Apple, Samsung, Google & globally. In-Display Fingerprint readers are ruining our smartphones like the upcoming Google Pixel 4, Galaxy S10 or OnePlus 7 Pro. We can't stop it. Manufacturers are using every gimmick to get you to buy a phone. Let me explain why this is the Future YOU DON'T want.

🚨 *️QOTD: Do you like in-display fingerprint readers AND do you actually own a phone with one? Do you not like them? Let me know why!*

I'm sure raising prices hasn't helped.

Most desirable features for me: longer battery life, make display more rugged, make it easier to take it apart and repair,

[bonespiel]

This is why removable batteries went away because manufacturers don't want us to replace a battery. They want it to die so we have to upgrade sooner.

Watching this on Nokia 3310, still holding up well.☺️

Smartphones should go for a longer product life cycle like video game consoles do.

After all the videos I've seen where people talk about how unreliable and slow the fingerprint reader is on the s10, I'm starting to feel like a minority because it's worked perfectly for me since the day I got my s10. From experience I would say that it's success rate is near 100% and feels very fast

I’ve the Pixel 3A, I really love it. Does everything I need at a really good price.

[jaredsmith]

Yup, pixel 2xl. I just haven't seen a phone that's worth the $1000 upgrade.

Fingerprint scanner works great on my S10. It seems like it's more user error because you're having issues with both the s10 and OnePlus 7

I've been rockin a hand-me-down Samsung Note 8 that I got when my Note 4 died (almost 4 yrs old).
My friend gave me his Note 8 when he upgraded to a Note 9 last year.
I ain't planning to upgrade until this Note 8 just won't work anymore.

Thank you. I'm tired of all the YouTubers calling the in-screen fingerprint reader a bonus, if it's slower, less accurate and less secure than the prior technology.

Using the Original Google Pixel. Still does everything I could ask for.

[billcason]

I like this guy. I can buy anything, anytime, but I still have my Pixel 2XL. Yes, there are better screens. Give us a reason to go through the hassle of changing phones. Give me something that can help me do what I need to do.

[mitchelvalentino]

Excellent points all around. Best summary I’ve watched of the current state of the smart phone market. I’m still rocking my 2 year old phone, with no desire to upgrade. These latest gimmicks do nothing for me. Keep up the great work, Brandon. Cheers!

[benjaminjerila]

I have the s10 plus and don't have a problem with the fingerprint sensor I even have a screen protector and works first try ever time

[josharntt]

Watching this video on Pixel 3, so not two years, but I have my Pixel XL next to me, still a pretty good phone.

[fasteddy]

I just recently put my three year old Samsung S7 Edge to bed and purchased a brand new Samsung S10. I absolutely love the S10. Great vids, keep em comin' ! Oh yeah btw, I do not use the fingerprint scanner because I don't trust it. PIN security is what I use.

[RichardLeeNimbil]

Hear, hear, move the finger print back to the back of the phone where it was perfect.

[CoreyWilkerson]

Using the Pixel 2. The battery doesn't stay charged as long as before
