3D Facial Recognition
Facial recognition has been around for years now, and many Android phones have this feature and a fingerprint sensor for unlocking. However, you can probably guess which smartphone had 3D facial recognition first, right? With the introduction of the iPhone X, Apple also brought something new to the table: Face ID.
Apple’s Face ID feature was so good that it took Android a couple more years to produce comparable software and hardware to compete with what Apple did in 2017. Although to be fair, most Android phones now have both face recognition and a fingerprint sensor. If only Apple could copy that.
