Facial recognition is something that iOS users have known for some time, the Photos application that all our devices have pre-installed. Within it, we can easily identify our contacts, since the facial recognition system itself will group their photographs. However, Apple has not wanted to take this system so far, so it does not allow it to become an unlocking system. Perhaps taking advantage of this passivity, the South Korean Samsung has decided to present a facial recognition unlocking system, however, it has gone as well as that fingerprint reader that it included in the Galaxy S5.
In the video that we are going to leave below, we can see how the companion of Marcianotech during the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S8 carried out the first security tests of the unlocking by facial recognition present in the aforementioned device, and the truth is that the sensations cannot be worse, With a simple photo that you show him with another device, you can quickly access your device, goodbye privacy, goodbye security measures. The truth is that these types of functions that are presented as a novelty and that really look so sloppy, annoy us all and do not benefit anyone.
All this reminds us of how Samsung had to forcefully launch a fake fingerprint reader integrated into the Samsung Galaxy S5, because of course, the competition already presented it on their devices. The result was catastrophic, most users avoided using it due to how little and bad it detected the fingerprint and proceeded to unlock.
And it is of little or no use having a quality fingerprint reader, such as that of the Galaxy S8, if you accompany it with a security hole as fat as facial recognition unlocking. It seems that it will be the XNUMXth TouchWiz feature that your users will disable.
Yes, and the one with the iris scanner, you don't say anything, right? Wow!
In this case, the security that an iris scanner can give you is removed by the terminal's operating system (Android).
If you have two hyper-mega secure input methods and one like this… the truth is that your security is reduced to 0… imagine at home; two super armored doors with 5000 locks and then the window completely open ... well that's the Samsung Galaxy S8
That is precisely the difference between Apple and the rest of manufacturers ... they are not always the first to implement a technology but when they do, they do it well and lay the foundations for the rest ... implement a technology and more security as Samsung has done with your S8 is pitiful. Like many others ... another example is fast charging, yes, it is very fast but it ends up melting the battery in the medium term and many more that Apple has refused for the moment to implement until they really are a real and well implemented option that benefits to user experience and safety
What do you expect from a company that touches all the sticks, maybe it makes you a camera, that a refrigerator, by the way, mine is Samsung says that it is no frost and it makes me some blocks of ice that I water the plants, I don't say anything.
