This could potentially bring secure facial recognition to the mid-range and entry-level smartphones.

    Gsmarena Face ID is not the most secured biometric unlocking system.its iris scanner

      "Everyone knows that Apple's Face ID technology used in the iPhone X is one of the most secure solutions out there."

      Well, if it is that secure, why can a twin unlock your phone? At least an iris is unique to you, even if unlocking methods based on it are not as fast, it seems better when it comes to security.

                      Good. I must say, Mediatek isn't what it once was. The Helio P60 in the Oppo Realme 1, proved itself to be fast yet decently efficient. I see this low-cost FaceID being employed in the Oppo Realme 3! :[]
