Originally, buyers of Google Pixel 6 Pro have been waiting for Face Unlock since its launch in the market, but the feature is long overdue. There are new details again.
So it is still not a coincidence that Face Unlock keeps popping up somewhere. The long-awaited feature is still under development and testing at Google. There is now new information about why the Pixel 6 Pro wasn’t ready for launch in the market, or why the Pixel phones weren’t last made in the June feature drop.
The camera and software have to be really good
On today’s smartphones, Google relies solely on software. The camera hardware of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 has a simple camera without any infrared or other things. Which means the software has to be really good to be able to provide a high level of security. And the camera has to be good enough, which Google believes only the front camera of the Pixel 6 Pro is capable of.
In the meantime, more adjustments have been made to make Face Unlock better. This will get an integrated “boost”. The performance of the processor should be properly ramped up for one second so that the complex processing of Face Unlock can be carried out very quickly. However, internally, Google still has doubts about the accuracy of the battery drain and function.

Is the upcoming Pixel 7 series good enough?
The bad news: Google has turned its attention to the Pixel 7 series. The new devices could bring a new generation of camera machine learning, enabling face unlock at the desired level. Which in turn will speak against the features that come with the Pixel 6 Pro. But at the moment it becomes speculative again and we are waiting for that.
