The iPhone 8 keynote event is fast approaching and the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 is also around the corner. Samsung has already proclaimed that its Galaxy Note 8 will be featuring facial unlock features as well as the iris scan. Turns out that Apple is also very likely to introduce these features in the iPhone 8 which is scheduled to be launched on September 12. Both tech giants claim that these two will be the finest smartphones ever to exist in the market. But there has been so much fuss about the Facial Recognition security features especially in Samsung Galaxy S8 that are being exploited quite easily.
Experts claim that the Face Unlock method is a deceptively amazing feature that is full of vulnerabilities and can be fooled easily. As it turns out, the facial recognition method is much less secure and no way near as good as the fingerprint scan. It is even more insecure than the PIN, pattern or passkey method. You may have seen videos of people unlocking the Galaxy S8 face lock by showing it the picture of a person whose face has been registered. No matter how advanced it may get, the device can be easily fooled by showing the picture or video of that person. Apart from that, it is certainly not the fastest way to unlock the phone. It may take a few seconds before it gets unlocked and it may take even longer given the phone is in motion.
