We all know Face unlock(Facial recognition) has been the trend of 2018. This new technology which let users unlock their devices using the front-facing camera to capture faces has been seen on various devices ranging from the big tech companies to fast-growing ones.
Tech giant Apple, however, debuted Face ID with the iPhone X, which is a more advanced facial unlock mechanism. According to Apple, the Face ID uses a ‘TrueDepth’ camera setup, which blasts your face with more than 30,000 infrared dots and scans your face in 3D, making it harder to hack unlike the Face unlock tech on the Galaxy S8 or Note 8 which can be tricked using a picture.
