Photos reveal Google tested iris recognition using Pixel 2 prototype

When the Galaxy S9 line was released in 2018, Samsung combined Iris Recognition and Face Recognition and called it “Intelligent Scan.” Sammy removed Iris Recognition from its phones starting with the Galaxy S10 series so that it could pursue a bezel-less design for its flagship smartphones. Samsung might have removed Iris Recognition just a little early since it would have been perfect for facial recognition with everyone wearing a mask. Of course, fingerprint scanners could also unlock devices during the pandemic.
To be considered secure, Google doesn’t want a facial recognition system to allow spoofing to unlock a device more than 7% of the time. Reportedly, spoofing will allow someone other than the phone’s owner to open a Pixel 7 device using Face Unlock more than 20% of the time. Spoofing is when a person pretends to be someone else, such as the owner of a targeted Pixel 7 series handset.
