Testing time: Can the Galaxy S8 be unlocked with a photo?
The smartphone’s facial technology was unsuccessful at recognising the right “face.”
South-Korean technology giant Samsung recently made most headlines for finally unveiling its Galaxy S8, S8+ smartphones. While most fans are in absolute awe of the new super-device, YouTuber iDevice meanwhile managed to discover a major flaw in the smartphone’s much-boast about facial recognition technology.
The blogger held up a selfie from another phone in front of the S8’s facial recognition technology, which resulted in success of unlocking the premium-handset. This truly is disappointing as the device’s latest technology was believed to be having to protect the smartphone from being unlocked by ‘ANYONE’ except for the user him/herself.
Separately, we are all aware of the awesome things that can be achieved by the smartphone’s newest facial recognition technology. Firstly, it adapts ‘lightening’ quick technology, thereby recognising a face in seconds. Secondly because its facial-tracking features are commendable.
SHOULD YOU BUY THE PHONE?
While the latest ‘glitch’ is being observed by many as questioning the device of its strength, it’s a major concern for the company to respond to it.
