Chinese technology giant Huawei’s brand Honor on Thursday announced the roll-out of a software update that will bring ‘Face Unlock’ feature to its “View 10” smartphones. The OTA update roll out has started from January 17 and will be rolled out to everyone by January 24.
To enable face recognition, you need to enroll your face by accusing Face recognition feature in phone settings menu. You can enroll your face by simply looking at the camera. By detecting your face, Honor View 10 detects the positioning between you and the phone and adjusts the direction accordingly. For example, when you lie down in bed, the screen will rotate automatically so that you can comfortably read any messages.
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology not only unlocks the device when sensors recognise your face but also turn off the screen when it senses that the users are no longer reading. It also detects users’ position and adjusts the direction accordingly. The update will also enable closed-eye face-unlock prevention and intelligent screen-on.
Honor says that it gets intelligent lock screen notifications, which means when you get a new message and you pick up the phone, Honor View 10 recognizes your face and lets you read the message without unlocking the phone and opening an app.
Honor View 10 has octa-core Kirin 970 chipset, 6GB RAM, 128GB on-board memory and EMUI 8.0.
