Google Pixel 7 masters unlocking by facial recognition

The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are about to be introduced. Much, rather everything, is already known. There are promotions for pre-orders, we know the price and the technical data. Potential buyers should be happy that Google is bringing back Face Unlock, so the Pixel 7 can be unlocked with a good face. If you do not want to transmit your facial data, you can unlock the smartphone with a fingerprint, pattern or PIN.

Exciting: The slides that appeared don’t talk about any sensor sleight of hand, but only mention a 10.8-megapixel front camera. So could Google, by simply going the route via the camera, also modernize these features on the Pixel 6 (Pro)? And more importantly: Does the unlock type support all security requests the system may request, such as payment processes? Android itself has a total of 3 biometric protection classes, let’s see how this is solved. Rumors of a DPAF (Dual Pixel Autofocus) for the front camera would find their place there, since it is supposed to be able to create an in-depth image of the face.
