The technology for the security of the current smartphones has evolved from the basic password, through the fingerprint sensor and ultimately to the recognition of iris, but we know that in the field of technology, research never stops, and here comes the market, the first facial recognition smartphones.
We are talking about the future iPhone 8, which Apple is probably equipped with this kind of technology.
Following the wake of the American House, therefore, other competitors are moving towards this direction, and we already know that Qualcomm and Xiaomi are developing their technology to integrate with their leading products.
Speaking of the Chinese home, the facial recognition system should be ready for the fourth quarter of this year, just in time to be equipped with the new Xiaomi Mi Mix 2.
Earlier news also revealed that Apple's facial recognition will be supported by 3D sensors capable of achieving satisfactory results in a few milliseconds of second.
When the American house released the firmware for its HomePod smart speaker, the developers obtained from its code, the information necessary to predict further uses of this technology, (in addition to that of unlocking for smartphones) such as verification functions of ApplePay and other uses for third-party apps, which will supplant the current fingerprint sensor system in the very near future.
This trend will have a tremendous development thanks to the increasingly widespread use of full-screen smartphones.
In fact, it is expected that the new full screen will occupy at least half of the world market already in the coming years.
This hypothesis confirms the data of CINNO (display company): in the 2017 full screen smartphones represent the% 6% of the market and this percentage is expected to grow to 50% within 2018, to reach 93% within the 2021.
For the moment we do not yet know the level of accuracy of this new technology, we know that this time we will use 3D images, so the control can not be bypassed with a 2D photo as it has happened in the past.
No doubt this topic has long been expected as discussed in these years and leaked news can only be extremely interesting. There is now a question as to whether Xiaomi will be able to handle the confrontation with the American big competitor, or it will prove to be a simple imitation cheap. Posterity will judge.
But you, what do you think? write us your experiences and expectations in the comments section!
