[Poll Results!] What's your preferred screen lock feature on the Galaxy S8?

It has almost been a month since Samsung released the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. Many of you got the new flagship on April 21, the day it was released, and would by now have settled into a routine with your new device. Since the Galaxy S8 offers more screen lock security features than any other Android device, the question needs to be asked, which is your preferred screen lock feature nearly a month after you got this device?

Do you find yourself using the facial recognition feature as the primary screen lock method or has its novelty worn out and you're just using a pattern on the lock screen? Vote below and let us know in the comments which screen lock feature you're using daily and why.

Results: There's a tie between iris recognition and fingerprint scanning as the preferred screen lock type, they both received 38 percent of the vote each. Facial recognition comes in third place with 15 percent of the vote. Pattern, PIN and Password came in fourth, fifth and sixth place wth 4 percent, 3 percent and 1 percent of the vote.

It's not surprising to see that there's a tie between iris recognition and fingerprint scanning. The comments on my latest opinion piece on the fuss about the Galaxy S8's fingerprint scanner show that many who were initially concerned about the placement have got used to it now and are using it as their preferred screen lock type.
