Earlier: Honor has announced that it has started rolling out a new software update to enable Face unlock feature through intelligent face recognition in Honor View 10 smartphone. The phone automatically detects it has been picked up, see your face and unlocks in a second.
You can enable face recognition from the settings menu and enroll your face simply looking at the camera. It also detects the positioning between you and the phone and adjusts the direction accordingly. It works even when you lie down in bed, since the screen automatically rotates so that you can comfortably read any messages. It also has closed eye unlock prevention, so if eyes are closed, it will not unlock the screen.
The phone already has Intelligent lock screen notifications, intelligent screen on, AI Motion detection, AI Zoom and more features. You can check out our Honor View 10 review to read more about the features.
Honor said that the roll out has started from 17th January and will be rolled out to everyone by 24th January 2018.
