Google event at Google headquarters on August 13, 2024 in Mountain View, California. Google announced new Pixel phones, watches and AI features during the Made By Google event. Google could bring back one of the Pixel 4’s best features for a future smartphone: a more secure and reliable version of face unlock .has seen documents that show the Tensor G6’s image signal processor will support an under-display infrared camera.
Currently, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 8 use the selfie camera and machine learning to authenticate your face. When Google introduced this technology to the Pixel 8, it said face unlock had the strongest level of Android biometric security .That means the system has a low spoof acceptance rate of less than 7% and a false acceptance rate of 1 in 50,000. So someone with a picture of your face, or someone who looks like you, has virtually no chance of fooling the Pixel 8 into unlocking.
The addition of an under-display infrared sensor could change that. The leaked documents don’t explicitly say that the Tensor G6’s new infrared abilities will be used for better biometric security, but it makes sense.This has been an area where Android devices have fallen behind Apple, which has utilized 3D biometric security in its iPhones to authenticate faces since the iPhone 12.
This news suggests that Google has found a way of maintaining a low-profile punch hole for the selfie camera, or even moving it to under the display, for the Pixel 11 while improving the face unlock technology with a combination of AI and new hardware.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
