Android brands will take 2 years to emulate apple's face id

The arrival of the iPhone X has flowed store rivers around the world. Especially for its star function, Face ID. A function that Android phones have been trying to emulate for a while in the form of a face unlock, although it is not the same. But, it seems that it will still take a while for Android brands to emulate this technology.

Android brands will take 2 years to emulate Apple's Face ID

According to a report, it will take two years for brands to perfectly emulate the Face ID of Apple's flagship phone. Although Apple's technology is not perfect, it is still the reference in this regard. So Android seeks to imitate it at all costs.

Face ID will take time to reach Android

To create this report they have interviewed the main producers of Face ID components. In addition, it has been revealed that these companies are penalizing Samsung and other manufacturers. Because they refuse to sell the corresponding technology at the moment. A technology that is expected to generate billions in the coming years.

40 percent of smartphones sold in 2021 are expected to be equipped with 3D recognition cameras. Something that will improve the user experience. But, despite the improvements that are coming in Android, with the Galaxy S9 at the helm, there is a notable delay regarding Apple's technology. Something that can significantly harm companies.

It seems that from next year a part of these problems will begin to be solved. But many Android phones are going to suffer a two-year delay compared to the iPhone X and its Face ID. So we will have to be attentive to see how this technology evolves in the market.
