Moto Face Unlock hits Play Store, but it might not be compatible with your handset

  • The Moto Face Unlock app has surfaced on the Google Play Store.
  • The app should offer an easy way for Lenovo to keep facial recognition functionality updated and bug-free.
  • Don't expect the same level of sophistication as face unlock efforts from Apple and Samsung.

Many Moto phones already have pre-installed facial recognition functionality, but the brand has decided to bring a new Moto Face Unlock app to the Play Store anyway (h/t: Android Police).

The app appears to use only the single front camera for authentication, so don't expect anything as advanced as Apple's Face ID or even Samsung's Intelligent Scan technology. Nevertheless, you'll need to visit your device' security settings menu to give the feature a try, Lenovo says on the Play Store listing.

Moto Face Unlock. Moto Face Unlock.

In theory, the Moto Face Unlock app means Lenovo can update the function's speed and reliability without actually pushing out a full-fledged system update. In fact, the app listing notes "performance improvements and minor bug fixes" in this version of the app already.

Some people might think that the most important feature in a smartphone is its display size. Others believe it comes down to a phone's processor performance, or the amount of RAM, or how much storage …

As for compatibility, PhoneArena reports that the app is available on the Moto G6, Moto G6 Play, Moto G6 Plus, Moto Z3, Moto Z3 Play, and Moto X4. So if you've got a Moto E-series device or an older Moto Z phone, it seems like you're out of luck for now.

Beyond eSIM: How iSIM could turn phones into the ultimate Internet ID

-

Most modern smartphones still support the classic SIM card (well, the nano variant at least), but a gradually growing number of phones and other consumer gadgets are starting to support eSIM . We might not be too far away from yet another change in SIM tech, as devices could soon start using iSIM. Earlier this year, Arm unveiled its vision for the iSIM – an integrated SIM that fits into a device's system-on-a-chip. In the future, along with a CPU, GPU, LTE or 5G modem, your next phone SoC could also include the SIM card built inside it too. While there might not appear to be a big difference compared to eSIM, iSIM could end up drastically changing the way we use a wide range of connected devices. eSIM vs iSIM eSIM and iSIM are rather similar in a number of respects. Both replace the transferable nano SIM cards with a hardware chip that's permanently fixed inside a user's phone, tablet, or other gadget. When you consider that nano SIM cards are around 12.3 x 8.8 m

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t
