With Apple launching the Face Unlock feature called FaceID we have seen many Chinese and other Android manufacturers launching their devices with Facial recognition system with the help of AI.
Now we have some leaks from AOSP who claim that upcoming Android Version will have support for Facial Recognition hardware.With next gen of Android, we might see faster unlock speed via facial recognition tech as it will be compatible with hardware and not only to software which will make the device still more secure when compared with current devices which are based on software and not on hardware.
As Facial recognition tech is based on Java interface and is still under developing phase and might require more time to enter into the mass production of the native hardware that supports the feature.
