Camera-based face recognition is quickly becoming a new fad among smartphone makers. All thanks to the Apple iPhone X. The Face Unlock adds a layer of security to safeguard your phone’s content and also quickly unlock your phone in public without feeding in the code or a unique pattern.
Smartphone makers are implementing their interpretations of Face Unlock using the front-facing camera. Not all phones pack an AI-powered chip which works better than the stand alone Trusted Face feature under Smart Lock in almost every Oreo running phone.
A couple of brands have optimized the face unlock to a level that the phone opens the moment one lifts it. Even one-fifth of a second would appear slow by the current standards. So if you want to take a nosedive in this frenzy give these phones a look.
