A new discovery claims the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will support secure Face Unlock - here’s how it might work.
The downside was that Google had to compromise the Pixel 4’s design. The handset looked worse than the iPhone’s notch. The Pixel 4 had a massive “forehead” bezel at the top, which incorporated all the Face Unlock components.Google retired the feature after that, opting to give the Pixel a better hole-punch camera design. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will also get the same all-screen design as the Pixel 6 series, complete with a hole-punch selfie camera.
Specifically, it seemed that Google might opt for 2D face recognition support, a feature that’s a lot less secure than Face ID. And one that was available on Android before Apple rolled out the unrivaled Face ID functionality. Alternatively, we speculated Google might combine 2D Face Unlock with the under-display fingerprint sensor to enhance security.
However, Google has just added the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro to the Google Play Console ahead of next week’s launch. It’s in there thatOh, and also, both Pixel 7s declare support for 'android.hardware.biometrics.face', meaning they support secure face unlock!
