Although Android and iOS now cross over more than ever before, one thing distinctly separates the two platforms: biometric security. Apple is nearly all in on using facial scanning for security on iPhones, while Android OEMs are almost exclusively using fingerprint scanning. Each system has its pros and cons, and preference for one over the other likely just comes down to what you’re most accustomed to.
Many Android phones, though, offer a middle ground: insecure Face Unlock. Most flagship Android phones support it and one of them is the Google Pixel 7 Pro, which happens to be my daily driver. Since I got it in October 2022, I’ve been using both the fingerprint scanner and the Pixel’s Face Unlock for my unlocking needs.
