Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Comes With Latest 3D Facial Recognition

Xiaomi is planning to challenge Apple head-on by treating the users of their latest Android phones such as the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 to state of the art 3D facial recognition software.

Ever since the announcement of Apple’s iPhone X last September, the tech world has been obsessed with their latest facial recognition features. The problem for most of us is, however, that Apple’s products are usually priced above our budget – thus leaving these amazing features outside of our reach. But luckily for us, there is Xiaomi.

Xiaomi is one of China’s largest and most innovative smartphone producers that is famous for its high-end low costs Android phones. Their latest Android phone, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, is a beautiful bezel-less flagship device that comes packed with the latest hardware and software alike. Nevertheless, it is available for a fraction of the price of competing smartphones made by leading brands such as Samsung and Apple.

After making bezel-less displays available to people on a budget, Xiaomi has now planned to treat us to the latest facial recognition software. As we are all aware, the Mi Mix 2 Android phone was forced to relocate its fingerprint scanner to the rear of the phone because of its edge-to-edge display. This might bring along inconvenience for when you are trying to unlock your phone while it’s placed on the upside surface. This is why Xiaomi has decided to launch its new Face IP feature that helps you to unlock your phone swiftly in any situation.

This latest software feature is available since this week thanks to the new version of their MIUI 9 launcher. The first phone to be equipped with this software is the new version of the Xiaomi Mi 6, however, it is also available on their other phones after updating your system. Once your phone features the latest MIUI 9, you only have to head to Settings-Screen Lock-Passcodes and Fingerprints- Add Face ID Data in order to set up this new technology.

With their latest 3D facial recognition software, Xiaomi aims to make your smartphone experience as safe and secure as possible. Unlike regular (2D) facial recognition that comes with a number of application limitations, Xiaomi’s 3D software is considered to be flawless. Not only does this new technology increase your overall convenience and user experience, it also makes your smartphone a whole lot more secure. If you own a Xiaomi phone and wish to give this software a try, all you have to do is simply upgrade your phone to MIUI 9 and set up your Face-ID Data.
