If you’re considering buying a new smartphone now, maybe you should take face recognition into consideration, which is the latest trend in smartphone design, after the full display or dual cameras.
In Samsung S8, face scan is first introduced as one of the unlock methods. Then in iPhone X, Apple replaces ITouch with the new Face ID and caught many people’s eyes. The popular Chinese producer Vivo also launched their new flagship X20 with Face Wake as well as the fingerprint unlock. If you want more affordable choice, DOOGEE MIX 2 could be one of the options. So what’s the difference of face recognition in the 3full display smartphones? Let’s make a comparison.
Samsung Note 8: Face Scan is not Important
Though Samsung S8 and Note 8 all support face scan, it’s not the selling points in Samsung products. There are six of unlocking methods available in Note 8, including the iris scan, fingerprint scan, face recognition, pattern, password, and Pin, face recognition is not the only one, nor the most important one choice provided by Samsung. Moreover, the face recognition isn’t able to be used in Samsung Pay, which shows the uncertainty or insecurity there. 
Other than the face scan, Samsung Note 8 could be a great full display smartphone – 6.3” full display, S Pen, dual 12.0MP cameras a 10nm processor, all make it a flagship this year. The only problem is the price, sold at $950, the price is higher than 95% of the smartphones now.

iPhone X: 3D Facial Scan, Could Be The Most Advanced One
iPhone has paid many words to describe the Face ID in it. Though the first show fails, it is still the most advanced face recognition technology in the world now. Face ID is enabled by the TrueDepth camera, which captures 30,000 dots to create a picture of your face. It seems like Apple is confident in the security of Face ID and applied it in unlock, authenticate and Apple Pay.
iPhone X also has dual 12MP cameras in the rear, and it could be a standard configuration in smartphones now and in the future. iPhone X is powered by the efficient A11 engine, has 5.8” full display and wireless charge supported. Just like Samsung, iPhone X is not priced friendly at all – starting at $999.
