Android Q: Will it have a native face recognition system?

New Findings from XDA Developers for Android Q.

Αthis time they discovered in the AOSP source code several references to a built-in face recognition function (Face ID) without the need for further processing by smartphone manufacturers.

XDA Developers notes that there are no similar references in its code Android Pie, as well as that they have nothing to do with the system Trusted Face, a rather unreliable solution that was part of Google Play Services and not Android OS.

When it comes to fresh buns, the facial recognition system will be activated from the settings menu and will require the entry of a backup password, PIN or pattern, as when activating the fingerprint recognition system. With the face recognition system, users will be able to make purchases and sign-ins.

We will have more for this function in the coming weeks, culminating in the conference Google I/O 2019 next May.
