News & Reviews:   unlock

At the moment, there are two best ways to unlock your phone - using a fingerprint scanner or face recognition. Both are easy and quick, and there seem to be no other ways, but it seems that a team of researchers from Kyushu University and the University of Tokyo in Japan just brought a breath of fresh ideas to the table (pun intended).

During the Google I/O event, Google mentioned that the upcoming Android 12 smartphone comes equipped with a feature that lets you unlock your car using an Android smartphone. While not much is known in regards to the exact release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from the device as soon as it is available globally.

Based on a statement by wabetainfo.com, it seems that the developers of WhatsApp could be planning on introducing Facial Recognition for Android smartphones in the future. While there is no official information in regards to when the feature will be officially available, there’s also no info on which smartphone will support it as well.

Based on source code found by XDA Developers, it seems that Google plans to introduce an option for viewers to watch ads in order to unlock movies. While we have no exact numbers on how many movies can be unlocked, the source code hints that there could be several hundreds of movies available as soon as the feature goes live.
