Android has had face unlock built in for some time. A naive way it mitigates the "unlock with photo" vulnerability is an option requiring you to blink. Not as robust as 3d, heat sensitive cameras but it's at least not a trivial as showing a photo to beat it.
The impressive amount of processing power available on many smartphones today certainly contributes to this being a practical unlock method.
