Different devices might have customized lock screens and/or customized unlock algorithms (e.g. different keys might be used to activate the screen). That is why it is important to have exactly the same hardware to be able to reproduce such issues, which is not achievable.

@Amrkamel1 Thanks for the update. As @mykola-mokhnach mentioned it may have customized unlock algo. I have this device Galaxy S8 , SM-G950F , v9. Let me debug from my side.
