Obviously just one kind of authentication is not enough safe, forget better user experience. 3D face scan be useful for interactive gaming visuals, fps for more accurate touch control - rejecting unintended touch, just to send kisses through chat or whatever else.
Even ordinary camera with AI access to it may recognize its not you or your intention to unlock based on whats happening before camera...
To prefer one is suicide as smartphones are meant to be more smart, deriving them of sensors is like going backwards.

ps: Seriously, put a PIN, pattern or finger lock on your phone. Even an easy one is really better than nothing.

This poll is EXTREMELY flawed and should have had capacitive reader as an option. It is faster than both of these, more consistent, cheaper and much more secure than face unlock without ToF.

I'm literally surprised that 24% ('til now) of votes were in favour of face unlock!
Optical in-display scanners (sorry Sami fan-boys again) are far better, faster, more reliable and more secure than any other option that even makes you pick up your phone each time... :))

Both of them are waste of time. Phone security against who, yourself? Double tap or pressing the power button is pretty hard task nowadays.

One big reason why the In-Display Fingerprint Reader is better than Face ID is that the former doesn't require a notch to be placed on.

Rear mounted fingerprint readers such as on huawei phones are superfast and accurate. They hv their utility. In display option should come as additional.

S8 9.0, 03 Nov 2019Face unlock would say more secure Well, face unlock can be disrupted using your photo/picture/image/(ok I ll use .gif), finger print is better, yet its a personal opinion based on personal advantages. Ye, shall we?

I would like to have both authentications biometrics methods, like on Huawei Mate 20 Pro & 30 Pro, and if I can get more, with Iris Scanner (implemented on some phones such as HTC U19e, Note9-S9, even Lumia 950 series)

In-display fingerprint scanner is great, but it can't match normal fingerprint reader, especially the rear-mounted one.
For face unlock, the best implementation is from Apple's iPad Pro, which can cover more wider angle and doesn't need to be in one position, unlike Apple's iPhones.
