The launch of Face ID on the iPhone X last year was accompanied by a little bit of skepticism. And with good reason: Touch ID at the time had advanced to such a point that some people questioned if Face ID could possibly offer up a superior user experience. Shortly after the release of the iPhone X, however, it wasn’t long before users started expressing a preference for Face ID over Touch ID. Flash forward to 2018 and all three of Apple’s 2018 iPhone models now boast the company’s face recognition technology.
Of course, wherever Apple goes Android handset manufacturers are sure to follow. With that said, there are any number of Android devices out there with their own implementations of facial recognition technology, with some naturally offering up a more robust authentication scheme than others. And sure, Apple may not have been the first company to roll out face recognition technology, but what matters most is which implementation is the most secure and reliable.
