Well, that didn’t take long. As seen in the video below, a user’s picture taken by one Galaxy S8 is used to unlock another Galaxy S8. Not good, not good.
Wait, we can spin this. That’s how good the camera on the S8 is. So realistic, it can hack itself!
Face palm.

“Wait, we can spin this. That’s how good the camera on the S8 is. So realistic, it can hack itself!”…excellent.
The darling of the tech press just got exposed as a floozy.
Doh!
but but but — Samsung is innovating and Apple better watch out because they’re lazy now!
freakin morons.
will it make any difference? last year’s flagship was so dangerous every domestic flight banned it by name over the PA, and yet the tech media forgot already and the Samsung fanboys and Apple haters (notably on MR, which doesnt make any sense) are declaring it more innovative than iPhone. wuuuut
Spin: “Hey, it’s not on fire!”
Since Galaxy S8 has SDXC, chances are, the owner’s selfie is on it.
And who should be surprised? The company that doesn’t do thorough testing has their hardware compromised. What next? The sky is blue? Healthcare is hard? Don’t invite Jeffery Dahmer to dinner?
This is why the reputed Apple face-recognition is said to rely on a “3D” camera. Photos are two-dimensional.
nice concept by samsung at this time. i will check on my S8+ phone.
