New facial recognition system

Meizu is not one of the most important brands on the market. But a new facial recognition system can help them gain a positive reputation among consumers. Also position itself as a reference within the development sector. The company has confirmed that its collaboration with MediaTek is not something specific. Both companies want to collaborate in the long term.

The development process for this new facial recognition system has already begun. Next year it will be implemented in the first devices of the Chinese brand. Like Apple's facial recognition system, it is a biometric system.

We will have to wait to see what the two Chinese giants offer us with this alliance. It is always positive to see a collaboration between companies. So this alliance between Meizu and MediaTek can bring very interesting things. We will have to wait until 2018 to know and judge this facial recognition system. What do you think of the alliance between the two companies?
