Here’s an actual Samsung Galaxy Note 8 facial recognition test

Written by

To give you a sense of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 facial recognition, here’s a video from Mel Tajon showing it in action.

He takes a selfie on one phone, then points his Galaxy Note 8 at the selfie. Note that he doesn’t even need to frame the selfie particularly well and the Note 8 unlocks.

Nope.

UPDATE: Folks are saying this is the Note 8 in demo mode. Would love a verified source on this, but posting this here to give Samsung the benefit of the doubt. That said, take a read of the New York Times review, which doesn’t fare much better.
