No one wants that - just put in 4000 mAh!

This will be another feature i'll end up switching off just to make the phone run smoother...

    AnonD-331984, 09 Mar 2017Dude, facial recognition on xperia e3 works, actually it to... moreFor it "to work", it has to be successful in recognizing you 49 times out of 50. It has to be able to recognize you also in dark night. It has to be able to do this under one tenth of a second.
    So, does it work :)?
    I've tried it on some Sony flagship a while ago, and it didn't work like it should have been.

    The 45 degree thingy could only work if they put a second camera on the front that has a very big field of view.

    I'm sure, that an awful lot of people tried to circumvent the fingerprint defence by putting the person's finger on the sensor during their sleep :D!!! When you want to open the phone of your loved one, because you are distrustful :D. But if the other one notices it, THEN you are in trouble :D!
    The code is a non-option, because it destroys the usability.
    And I hope the facial recognition works only, when the person's eyes ARE OPENED (so that you can't open other's phones easily during their sleep :)!

      I agree with those who say fingerprint scanner is a gimmick,imagine when your in asleep people around you can unlock it with putting your finger on it eg your wife,or some body may force your finger on it,I think nothing is more secure than passcode cuz it's only in your mind,you can resist to unlock it to death

              AnonD-259152, 09 Mar 2017But how long can those same phones take to unlock the screen Its pathetic the angle u choose to come from. Not evry phones software degrades like samsung's u know. On xperia e3, U dont have d time to turn on the screen and look at the clock at face to screen position without unlocking the phone. U just have to peep at the clock in style. So I'll say, its fast.

After seeing this news of samsung's great innovation this morning, I had to try it again, It so did work. Concerning ur 45° concept, we could wait for that. But dont even think for one second dat face recognition on e3 is a joke.
