And the pixel-issues start again. While many other brands deliver great phones without gimmicky features you buy into mini radar tech with insecurity face scanning and no batterylife, a 90hz screen that turns to 60hz to save the small battery....for just 800$...I'd rather advice you to buy an iphone or any other android phone right now. At least don't buy it for full price and wait 6 months. This phone is worth 400$ at best.

Anonymous, 18 Oct 2019Face unlock and even fingerprint readers are not good secur... moreAnything you have to enter on the screen in order to unlock is ridiculously unsafe. One look over your shoulder is enough. Claiming this to be safer than an actual fingerprint is simply a false belief.
Btw, a phrase everytime you unlock your phone? Holy moly, I'd rather stop using a phone instead...

Face unlock and fingerprint are safe as long as your are not hacked and your face image and fingerprint image isnt stolen. Making them on your phone it's first step for you of this security you need that nobody will steal it or soft companies that made them are not hacked leak out millions of these pictures for either face or fingerprint. Some time ago this year was already a news where 2 million of fingerprints leaked to internet from some fingerprint reader software company that got hacked.

Face unlock and even fingerprint readers are not good security anyway. They are open to all kinds of abuse. They are really just convenience features for people who want nominal security. If you really care about the security of your phone, you shouldn't use these feature and should use a passphrase (not a pin) instead.

Google should stop making pixels. They are a complete failure. In an Android world dominated by one plus and Samsung pixel has no chance of winning if google doesn't make it compelling

Not so awesome as with Samsung. You don't have to be even present when unlocking them. So futuristic...

Shadocx, 18 Oct 2019Dude, it's the 1st time Google try Face ID, every manufactu... moreThat's not right. Do you mean every company should start from the zero? A couple companies have used face unlock after apple. Google should've learnt sth from all those. Repeating the problems that others have encountered in past years shows that they've either rushed the phone or just don't care. If you want to copy At least copy it completely. Also why isn't there any under display fingerprint?
