Gizchina News of the week
Recall that OnePlus introduced the OnePlus 5T a couple of months back with a bezel-less design and a face unlock feature which uses the front-facing camera to analyze 100 identifiers of your face. The implementation here though faster is much simpler and less secure compared to iPhone X face unlock feature.
We currently do not have a specific timeline when the Company intends to roll out the feature to the OnePlus 5, also we are not certain if there is any plan to bring the feature to older phones like the 3 or 3T.
