But if in-display fingerprint sensors aren't good enough yet, shouldn't phone makers put more dollars into research and development to make facial recognition and face unlock systems more reliable and secure? Since face unlock is often touted as more convenient, anyway?

You would think yes. But the opposite seems to be happening. Whereas the Galaxy S8 and S9 both had secure iris scanners, the S10's doesn't. As a result, the face unlock feature on the S10 is wimpy — like comically easy to fool with a printed photo or video on your phone. Unbox Therapy's Lewis Hilsenteger was able to bypass the S10's face unlock with a YouTube video of himself. Another person fooled the face unlock on her brother's S10 and they're not even twins. Like, oh damn.

The reality is, you can't get a notch-free display or screen with only a "hole punch" if you want a secure facial recognition system like Face ID on the iPhone X, XS, and XR. Unlike the 2D-based face unlock recognition on phones like the S10, the 3D-based Face ID on the latest iPhones requires many sensors (i.e. flood illuminator, infrared camera, dot projector, etc.) housed in the notch. Some phones like the Oppo Find X get around this by hiding the front-facing camera and its sensors inside of a motorized mechanism, but that introduces its own durability issues.

Using these crummy in-display readers made me realize one very obvious thing: Apple was right to go with Face ID instead of trying to put Touch ID in the screen. Face ID isn't perfect by any means — for example, it doesn't work well sideways in bed or at all if you've got a scarf or mask covering your mouth — but more times than not it does work quickly and reliably. The same just can't be said for in-display fingerprint sensors.

So why did we want these in-display fingerprint readers again

 You would intend yes. But the opposite seems to be happening. Whereas the Galaxy S8 and S9 both had impregnable iris scanners, the S10's doesn't. As a result, the face unlock feature on the S10 is wimpish — like comically easy to fool with a printed photo or video on your phone. Unbox Therapy's Lewis Hilsenteger was able to bypass the S10's font unlock with a YouTube television of himself. Another person fooled the face unlock on her brother's S10 and they're not even twins.

 The reality is, you can't get a notch - free display or screen with merely a " hole punch " if you want a dependable facial realization organization like Face ID on the iPhone X, XS, and XR. Unlike the 2D - based side unlock realization on phones like the S10, the 3D - based Face ID on the late iPhones requires many sensors (i.e. flood illuminator, infrared camera, dot projector, etc .) housed in the notch. Some phones like the Oppo Find X get around this by hiding the front - front television camera and its sensors inside of a motorized mechanism, but that introduces its own durability issues. 

 Using these crummy in - display reader made me realize one very obvious thing: Apple was right to belong with Face ID rather of trying to put Touch ID in the blind. Face ID isn't arrant by any means — for example, it doesn't work well sideways in layer or at all if you've got a scarf or mask covering your sass — but more times than not it does work quickly and reliably.

You wouLd thinK Yes. But tHE opposiTe seemS to Be hAppeNInG. WHerEaS The gAlAxy s8 And s9 both had SeCuRe iriS scaNNERS, the s10's dOesn'T.
