Google Pixel 7 series support face unlock feature, but not for security

Published

Google Pixel 7 series

The Google Pixel 7 series has finally been released, and pre-orders have begun, followed by extensive research by the outside world on a plethora of new features of the new device. Face Unlock is a feature that many Pixel users have been waiting for, and it is now available on the Pixel 7 series. The feature, however, does not appear to be as comprehensive as some would like.

Blogger Andreas Proschofsky pointed out that the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro’s face unlock feature can only be used to unlock the phone. This means it cannot be used for other types of authentication, such as mobile payments or password managers.

According to Proschofsky, Google classified the feature as Type 1 biometrics, which means it isn’t for security, but rather for “convenience.” Google also confirmed this to Android Police, stating that the feature can only be used to unlock phones.

While Google touted its machine-learning capabilities when introducing the Pixel 7’s Face Unlock, it’s reasonable for the company to limit the feature. Because the phone doesn’t have the necessary hardware to provide secure facial recognition capabilities, it’s quite possible to fool the facial recognition system without specialized hardware.

We discovered that the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro support the fingerprint function beneath the screen. If you are concerned about security, you should avoid using the face unlock feature.

Google Pixel Fold: A new foldable phone from Google

Published

on

By

google pixel fold

Google announced its first foldable phone, the Google Pixel Fold, at the I/O 2023 Developers Conference. The Pixel Fold is a book-style foldable phone with a 7.6-inch internal display and a 6.2-inch external display. It is powered by Google’s Tensor chip and runs Android 14.

In addition to the Pixel Fold, Google is also rumored to be working on a clamshell foldable phone similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. This phone is said to have a 6.7-inch internal display and a 2.1-inch external display. It is expected to be powered by Google’s Tensor chip and run Android 14.

It is unclear when either of these phones will be released. However, Google’s entry into the foldable phone market is a sign that the category is becoming increasingly popular.

Google is rumored to be working on a clamshell version of the Pixel Flip folding phone. The phone is expected to be released in 2024 and will be powered by the Tensor G3 chip. It is also expected to be more affordable than the Pixel Fold, which costs $1,799.

The clamshell design is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Motorola Razr 5G. This design allows the phone to be folded in half and opened like a book. The Pixel Flip is currently the only foldable phone from Google. It was released in 2022 and has a starting price of $999.

The Tensor G3 chip is the successor to the Tensor G2 chip that powers the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The Tensor G3 chip is expected to be more powerful and efficient than the Tensor G2 chip.

The Pixel Flip clamshell foldable phone is expected to be a more affordable option for consumers who want a foldable phone. The phone is also expected to be more compact and portable than the Pixel Fold.

Other foldable phones have larger secondary screens, so it’s unclear how big the Pixel Flip’s will be.
