I had two Samsung flagship phones, one (S20FE) had an optical fingerprint reader and the other (S22) had an ultrasonic one. Both of them somewhat regularly failed to read my finger, were slower than a fingerprint reader on the power button and are more expensive/complex to build. They won’t work with cheap 3rd party screen replacements and some screen protectors as well.
Meanwhile my $90 Android phone has a fingerprint reader on the power button. It never fails and I never have to perfectly place my finger on the sensor area to get it to work. It just seems like the perfect place to put a fingerprint sensor, so why do phone manufacturers keep using in-display fingerprint readers over the cheaper alternative?
Because you could unlock anyone’s phone without their consent with just a photograph of their face and some easy to do depth trickery
Ah like in the movies!? I saw a movie where they got someone’s pass code by watching them type it from a satalite, trough a windows 😅
It’s not how any of those work.
Try reading one of these some time instead of being a pretentious dumbass dipshit:

To bypass FaceID depth check you simply glue a photo close to a cheap foam mannequin head and block the front-facing LIDAR
Fair point, however None of those are FaceID by Apple, all links are Android in either title/link or subtitle on the page. You did answer by question: why people don’t use face unlock on Android is they are horribly implemented vs FaceID on iPhones, so I will apologize for being pretentious!
Excellent and classy rebuke, looks like I’m the dumbass dipshit now.
