The facial recognition technology is waiting for the second coming of the Android gadgets

Apple during the presentation of iPhone X proposed future owners of their new flagship smartphone (in fact — forgotten old) method of user identification. We are talking about technology, Face ID that recognizes a person’s face and provides access to the system. Analogues of the revolutionary, according to Apple, the techniques demonstrated earlier. Feature is present in Android 5.0, and its improved algorithm has found a commercial realization in the Samsung Galaxy S8. However, it did not take root: users have called it too crude and inefficient for the background of the classic fingerprint scanner. The catalyst for the re-promotion of facial identification steel copertina, which spurred Chinese brands to undertake their own versions Face ID and declare its affinity with Apple.

The wave of euphoria from unlocking smartphones by identifying the characteristic features of the face users and comparison with a database listed in the “fingerprint” shown to be ineffective for example, the same Galaxy S8. But this did not prevent the Chinese smartphone manufacturers to undertake its implementation. The reason for this step was as the boom in the background iPhone X, which is constantly referred to when comparing two similar decisions, and reduce the cost of implementing such technologies. Thus, analogues of Face ID will become a tool for unlocking not only the premium gadgets from Chinese industry leaders, but marked in the products of the companies of the third division.

The first about the introduction of its own Face ID DOOGEE said, promising to join the trend due to the Mix of the smartphone 2. Design their device will get a facial recognition system using two cameras front. They will provide a three-dimensional simulation image of the user with the additional front module for a depth measurement. In conjunction with proprietary software that will give you the opportunity to access the smartphone without any taps.

On the basis of published information, DOOGEE Mix 2 will receive:

• FHD screen+ with a diagonal of 5.99″;


• chip Helio P25;


• 6/8 GB RAM;


• dual rear camera sensors 16 and 13 MP;


• the front camera of the two 8-Megapixel modules.

Do not remain aloof and Chinese Grand Huawei, ridiculed the algorithm from Apple and intrigued the public with their own solution.

Huawei experts are going to show the phone real machine intelligence “on Board” October 16, 2017. We are talking about using a unique neural engine, allowing operation of the software on the principle of machine intelligence to a new level of performance with a minimum error. Ensure it is one of the most advanced for today SoC mobile processor Kirin 970.

There is no doubt that in the next few months their own versions of Face ID, the same clichés, to show and UmiDigi, BluBoo, and several Chinese firms lower League. But the traditional biometric scanner for fingerprint assessment, they are unlikely to be replaced. Such a method of identification will take a secondary role.
