The new software update will be available for all Nova 2i users from 30 January 2018 onwards and here's what you can do with it, especially the AR lens.
AR lens is a new selfie feature that allows the user to be more creative with the front camera. As the name suggests, Augmented Reality is partially used in this feature and you can impose yourself into a photo with another person without being there, or even take a picture at a location such as the Eiffel Tower, London's Big Ben or even the Sydney Harbour Bridge all with just a swipe of your finger.
For Face Unlock, it is what it does - unlocking your phone with your face but in Huawei's case, you have two ways of doing this - 1) Direct unlock or 2) Slide to unlock. What's the difference? Well, if you choose 'slide to unlock', you can take advantage of its notification display smart lock screen notifications. This is because if the phone doesn't recognize your friend's face, it will automatically hide the content from any notifications. In other words, your privacy is protected.
To upgrade the two new features, just go to:
- Settings
- System update
- Tap on the upper right corner button with the three points icon
- Download latest full package
