Can I unlock it with my photo? Face ID vs Windows Hello vs Samsung Facial Recognition 

I used Samsungs for years and never used facial recognition. I used the fingerprint scanner. When I bought an iPhone I was like no it only has Face ID but it’s been amazing. With glasses, gloves, a mask, even the dark

As a 2d person, I find this feature very offensive!

Print out a physical picture and tape it to a mannequin head.

Thank you so much for your video Adam, You are a great reviewer and you do your job perfectly well. I feel so bad to see so many people being rude to you in the commentaries, you do not deserve this, congratulations you're awesome.

Fun fact: IR cameras are not able to capture visible spectrum of light. So Face ID didn't even know that there was a picture or something being displayed on the Mac!

Yeah, you always know it's a convenience feature only and not very secure if there's no IR sensor. However, I wish both mac and windows would have an option to do this without an IR sensor in situations where you don't need extreme security.

I actually don't care, I've always preferred fingerprint unlock. But if Samsung's phones can be fooled so easily, they just shouldn't have facial unlock. Just ditch it until it's secure.

I had a 3d printed verson of my face that I created using the faceid dept camera, it doesn't fool the faceid, and windows hello sees that it is a face it just says it doesn't recognize it as me. i dont own a samsung device to test on.

Was the iPad seeing glare obscuring parts of the picture? That's a pretty bright light pointed at a pretty glossy screen.

I just bought the S21 FE model SM-G990W 2 and it has a proximity sensor. It is listed in the manual, but the S21 and S21 ultra manual does not list it. Wonder if this makes facial recognition more secure?

The simple explanation for why Samsungs face unlock is garbage is because it used the front facing cam and compares what it sees to a 2d image of your face it has saved. Whereas windows yellow and Face ID read your face in depth 3d and is impossible to trick.

Samsung really shot themself in the foot. The S9 had it all. The fingerprint scanner on the back exactly where your pointer finger was so you could easily unlock it while grabbing it out of your pocket and was ready before you were. There was a pressure sensitive home button that you could hard press while full screen so you didn't have to do an unnecessary swipe before going home. It had Iris detection for secure facial recognition and that with the camera and earpiece were crammed above the screen for an uninterrupted screen Then, Samsung got the brilliant idea to replace the pressure sensitive home button for a less conveniently placed fingerprint scanner, remove iris detection, and put a punch in the screen thats less offensiflve then Apple's notch, but worse than they had before. None of the sensors were too efficient, but if they worked at it, I'm sure by now they'd have the best setup that no one could come close to.

Critical flaw to your test, you used a screen to show the picture. An actual large printed headshot needs to be tested, partly because how electronics "see" a screen (If you ever have tried to record a CRT tv back in the day and saw distortion, you'll know what I mean) and also a photo can be bowed outwards to provide the depth you mentioned it requires.

Great video. Just what I've been looking for. Thanks!

i really would have preferred if you used the laptop for all devices but yeah, results were as expected.

My OnePlus never accepts any photos for facial recognition and neither does my Mi smartphone. I don't know what's wrong with Samsung which advertises itself as more secure.

Nice video but is it practical to a '' Face Recognition APP '' in order to verify my picture by the application?

I mean YES, Face ID has been very superior compare to any Android phone's Facial Recognition/even Fingerprint System. It kinda suck that Samsung discontinued the Iris Scanner/Intelligent Scan that was last seen on the Note9 wherein they could have just retained it on a bigger holepunch display. Now Apple caught up with the Hole Punch and called it Dynamic Island which honestly has been long present on Samsung phone's through Galaxy S10+/S10 5G. It's just that Samsung failed to utilize it fully and let Apple steal the idea and add it beautifully on their Face ID implementation. I love iOS' Face ID cuz it's more secure and all that but in all honesty the only thing I hate about it is the two-steo unlocking where Apple could have implemented the effortless Face Unlocking where you don't have to swipe no more after the sensot recognises your face. Pretty goofy inconvenience but nonetheless I wish Apple would still address it on the upcoming iPhone 15 series. #FaceIDisTheSuperiorOfAllBiometrics!

can you visibly see the infrared light with your eyes from the razer when you are using it?

I feel like it would work if u turned down the brightness on the iPad because when u try to take a Pic of a bright screen, it's difficult to focus on the screen

Pls try doing it with a short video of you moving your face and blinking a little. BTW You have a new sub😊

Good one! Just picked up a Samsung and wont be using any face stuff :P

I understand that some facial recognition is smart enough to know it's a 2D image and therefore not recognized it, but what about a video of yourself showing your face, would it recognize the face because it would be 3D because it turns and moves?

Hold a camera that can see infra red ( such as a tv remote LED ) in front of an ipad / iphone and you might see that its using a bright infrared light to aid its facial recognition. Might be a depth perception feature. I see you mentioned the ir sensor near the end. How about repeating the test but with a printout of your face glued to a polystyrene or plastic mannequin head.

I wish MacBooks would not work like Windows Hello. But FaceID would be nice to have.

At least Xiaomi is honest about this, before apply this option, it warns that someone can open your phone with your photo 😂

Windows hello is gold standard because it can't be fooled by twins

Samsung: *warns, that faster recognition is able to unlock the phone by image* Adam: *enables faster recognition* Samsung: *unlocks with photo* Adam: Samsung is not safe

What if you just finished boxing an opponent, and you came 2nd, will it unlock with 2 blackeyes and a swollen face? We need a test... for educational purposes of course.

Face ID is too convenient to pass on if you use NFC often. If I leave it on a subway, I don't think a random picker will have MY photo! I should only be worried if I were a celebrity or I also left my driver's license along with the phone. If you keep the latter combo, don't use Face ID as the manufacturer does mention its weakness.

I prefer fingerprint unlocking anyways from Samsung because I think it's my practical than Apple Faceid which was a problem during the Pandemic.

The video I was looking for👍

What if I 3d scan your face and print it?

Is it 13+ to unlock it with face?

what’s your ipad case?

when you are watching porn and you lock your computer, cos someone walks up to you, then your computer unlocks and you didn't mean to.

Samsung makes no claims about facial recognition being secure. Samsung's preferred unlock is with the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which is much more secure than Face ID. Samsungs facial recognition is for convenience for people who don't need higher security. I use both. The fingerprint is great if you want to open the phone without picking it up. The face rec is great if you're holding it in your hand.

You really don't know right, the samsung doesn't have the dot projector it has a singular big spot NIR laser but not the dot projector with can sense the depth of the face surface. That's why the samsung can be fooled it doesn't have the depth sensor it only has the NIR laser

Why did you put the iPad on the wall when using Samsung but when u use an IPhone you don’t put it on the wall

Just another point. Having high resolution images of your face on social media is a bad idea for this very reason. If someone you know steals your samsuck and then just goes to your Facebook or Instagram or LinkedIn profile and copies your face image. You’re screwed. Hell get into you’re phone and see those pics of you in Vegas with that tr@anny.

I don’t think MacBooks have Face ID yet because Apple hasn’t figured out a way to implement their camera system into that thin screen. That’s also the reason why the front facing cameras on MacBooks are worse than iPhones and iPads, the can’t fit much in the thin display

That glare might be an issue. You have lense flair in your eyeglass lenses.

I don't understand why samaung removed its facial recognition sensors. They had them in the s/note 8 and s/note 9 BEFORE face ID. If they can hide a fingerprint sensor under the screen and make a tiny cutout for the camera, they can find a way to bring back the facial recognition sensors... give us a new "Infinity-O" display with more sensors, Samsung 👀

The new Pixel 7 and 7 pro have face unlock too, and the 6 and 6 pro did not. The way they've been talking about the feature overall, it seems very clear that it's unsecure and almost not even recommended. It's stupid that Apple doesn't include a finger print scanner in their phones these days but it's even more dumb that Samsung and Google both have such bad facial security unlock features

Faça um teste com aplicativos de bancos digital

Well, our relationship is over now, I’ve saw everything I needed😔

Since this video shows a older Samsung with a older version of OneUi. So the security of face ID should have improved right?

They are different in terms of hardware, so you can't compare them like that. That's why Google won't let you use face unlock for mobile banking apps.

Did the same test on my ipad and the S21 Ultra in a HD photo taken right now in good light and it didnt work 20/20 times I tried it. idk

this is the sole reason i went for the Huawei p40 pro when it first came out

Try print the picture of your face. Maybe the device can detect if it was from another device's screen

Something tells me the reason why the phone unlocked is because you peaked at it before showing its unlocked when we have faster recognition off.

You were supposed to reboot it after changing your settings.

Anyone try this on an S23? I tried this with my picture on an iPad and I couldn't get it unlocked.

Window Hello Face is not secured like FACE ID!!! If you closed ur eyes, Window Hello Face still unlock, FACE ID is STILL Lock! This Channel shoul make this test more

I knew not having that true depth sensor is a huge problem. Laptops has true depth sensor , so I wonder for a 800 dollar Samsung phone.

bro for real just put his face in front of the camera on the final one

Great video…big up brother👍🏾

what if we cut out the picture and place it on a place such as maniqune or balloon to mimic the uneven to cheat the depth sensor? Anyone had try?

Why would anyone need a face recognition lock? It's less secure than a 4 digit pin even. And some unknown data collecting companies are stealing your face photograph.

It's not a problem, it's a feature :D

As someone with both a samsung and an iphone, I wanna see somebody try and beat me down, to then take a picture of my bloody face and try to unlock my phone😂 ain't nobody gonna have an issue here I can ensure that

I simply think that it kept recognizing you when you kept looking at it to see if it was unlocked and unlocked itself faster than you could see... But let's say it's true. If you truly lost your phone, no one would know what you look like to use an image anyway.. Only someone close to you could actually use this "image flaw" as a plausible jailbreak method...

Hehe my bro held the mac in one idol position for the iPad and kept moving the pic on the iPad for Samsung to think it's living

iris hack possible?

Who tf uses Facial Recognition in Android devices when you have under display fingerprint sensor?

I will be disabling face recognition on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 plus until the problem's fixed, otherwise, it's proven to be easily hacked with a picture, unlike my windows hello.

galaxy has no IR camera's so the results were expected

El S8 y S9 tienen lector de iris, en esos modelos no podrás desbloquearlo con una foto

Can you try it with a printed picture

Yep my friend looked through it she was like I opened it with a picture and it turns out it works wtf 🙄 and there's no fingerprint on the galaxy tab a8 like they have to fix this

At least samsung has its fingerprint sensor

The trick for Apple is use a Live Photo !!

Samsung's face recognition is just to copy face ID and not actually for security purposes, just to compete.

Green eyes, really? I can see a defendant difference between your face and the picture, so I don't think this is a good test, even thou it didn't unlock.

Try again now, maybe they updated it. It didn't work for my current android phone today which means its safe. Before, I've also used a cheap huawei device with the ID and my friends were unsuccessful to unlock my phone with a high quality picture.

You know samsung know your face,the detail and it is already store in samsung macfee database .

No it dint unlock when you tried to check it unlocked or not you showed your face and hence it unlocked

My iphone literally opens from my picture

Facial recognition creeps me out, yet many happily use it as it's convenient for them. Give up privacy for "security."

It's does not work under all circumstances , i have a problem sometimes in the dark + under low room light it's not working

But s10 5g have face id so I can't unlock it with a 3d picture

That same feature is on iphones and ipad

Was interesting watching 🔥 very nice 👌🏻

So basically most of the commenters here are iPhone users wanting to convince everybody that it is better than Galaxy. I find it so amusing see people people paying a lot more for a phone to make themselves feel better. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Tap the left side 3 then 2 for unlock.

what about a 3d simulated portrait using ai

Thanks. I will continue using only biometry on Samsung

Great video

Samsung facial Recognition is not use same as Apple Face ID use laser 3D scan.

I guarantee this face ID doesn't work after 20 beers

If samsung has a lidar scanner then it would be better

Its fake I test with my s 22 ultra on my tab it didn't unlock

Ti's unlocked because s21 doesn't have face id sensor ot use. Camera to unlock the phone e

If the person eyes are close

What about video?

❤❤❤ video very good for all peapol

😂 A fun experience, noting that the iPhone works in 3D while unlocking, while Samsung works in 2D. Indeed, Apple products are safer

could you please test S21 recognize now gor the new Android 13 UI 5 .. I think they made it more secure.. this update for today

Ohh thats sad by samsung but fingerprint is smuch more secure
