It matches the face with the preset database . First you need to train it to be able to recognize your face correctly . Upon failure , it will ask you to enter the passcode to unlock your phone .

    It’s taking a very long time to train…

    So curiosity got the better of me and I bought it. Had loads of hastle trying to get it to initially train/scan my face, in fact it took me numerous attempts and over an hour. Then on 1st logon attempt it failed to recognise me ?, tried numerous times with no joy.

    Finally decided to re-train, this time it was quicker at about 5 mins, but it does seem to take ages finding my eyes for some reason. Anyway out of the next 10 logon attempts it actually recognised me twice.?

    So sadly i’m not impressed.
