Και για να καταλάβετε ποσο πίσω είναι ο ανταγωνισμός στο Face recognition, διαβάστε το απόσπασμα από το review των NYTimes για το Note 8:
Poor Biometrics and a Subpar Assistant
That brings us to what stinks about the Note 8. Some of the biometrics, including the ability to unlock your phone by scanning your face or irises, are so poorly executed that they feel like marketing gimmicks as opposed to actual security features.
The iris scanner shines infrared light in your eyes to identify you and unlock the phone. That sounds futuristic, but when you set up the feature, it is laden with disclaimers from Samsung. The caveats include: Iris scanning might not work well if you are wearing glasses or contact lenses; it might not work in direct sunlight; it might not work if there is dirt on the sensor.
I don’t wear glasses or contact lenses and could only get the iris scanner to scan my eyes properly one out of five times I tried it.
When you set up the face scanner, Samsung displays another disclaimer, including a warning that your phone could be unlocked by “someone or something” that looks like you. (Hopefully you don’t have a doppelgänger.) In addition, face recognition is less secure than using a passcode. So why would you even use it?
As a result, you will probably continue to use the phone’s fingerprint scanner, a feature that has been available on many smartphones for several years. Unfortunately, the fingerprint scanner is located on the back of the phone, adjacent to the camera flash, which is next to the lenses. In my tests, I accidentally touched the camera lenses multiple times, leaving smudges. If you eventually own a Note 8, make it a regular habit to wipe the camera lenses with a cloth.
