I haven't used face unlock but I am going to guess TouchID is much faster and easier. It unlocks almost instantly, you don't have to be in view of the camera, and it doesn't require any extra effort since your finger is already on the home button to wake up the phone.
- Touche 13y agoFace unlock is instant now too. People still remember the slow demo from when ICS came out but it's nothing like that any more.
- rogerbinns 13y ago> I haven't used face unlock Face unlock is very fast - generally I turn device towards me to start using it and face unlock has unlocked it before I even realise it was locked (less than half a second). When it fails to recognise you, you can enter a pin/password/pattern. There is a menu option to 'Improve Matches' so it can pick up whatever is different this time. Every release has improved dramatically. After my most recent Android reinstall I recall only ever improving matches once. It doesn't work in low light which fingerprints will.
- cstrat 13y agoThe answer is probably no, but does it work if you've got sunglasses on?? I know that Picasa's face detection works even if I am wearing sunglasses... thats the only reason I ask.
- rogerbinns 13y agoIf it doesn't work first time with sunglasses then you use the "Improve Matching" to take a pic of you wearing sunglasses. They don't want identical pics of you - they want pics of how you vary. (Same story with facial hair etc)
- pbreit 13y agoI've used Face Unlock. It's terrible. It's slow, very inconsistent, doesn't work at all in variety of situations (low light, in pocket) and goofy.
- samspot 13y agoI imagine it wouldn't work very well at all in your pocket. How do you get your face in there anyway?
