Samsung mobile phones Galaxy offer several ways to unlock. You can use the classic PIN, but pro Some people find it easier to use a fingerprint reader. Then there is the option of unlocking with a face scan, but many people avoid this. The reason is that Samsung's solution uses a classic selfie camera and not a 3D scan like Face ID od Applu. Or face scan on Samsung Galaxy not so safe. But next Galaxy This could change in S27.
Face ID used on iPhones, after activation, it creates a 3D scan of the face. Not only with the help of the front camera, but also with the help of advanced sensors and infrared lightThis makes the capture not only fast, but also very proprocessed and de facto cannot be fooled. Samsung is far behind in this regard Applem, proIt doesn't have 3D scanning. And it probably won't offer it on mobile either. Galaxy S26.
Galaxy S27 but should bring a solution along the lines of Applu. It is inspired by his Face ID and will probably offer a new feature called Polar IDInformation about this advanced system was brought by leaker with a nickname Schrodinger, who managed to obtain a diagram of how Polar ID works. And we can clearly see the fundamental differences betweenproti Face ID.

Polar ID uses infrared light and sensor Samsung ISOCELL Vision 931Thanks to this, it has enough light to be able to recognize not only the face of the mobile phone owner, but also identify proa worked 3D mask or reveals tools pro identity theft. Analyzes how light reflects off the skin and, thanks to each person's unique reflection within 180 milliseconds will recognize the owner of the mobile phone. It should work even in low light or semi-darkness and it will not be necessary to turn on the lights or shine the screen at yourself to scan the face. The system should not only be promore worked than Face ID, but also safer.

The new product is being developed by Metalenz and Samsung is reportedly strongly considering integrating it into Galaxy S27 Ultra (theoretically and to Galaxy S27 to Galaxy S27+). The main advantage should be that the 3D scan will not require magnification procentury around the front camera, so the display Galaxy S27 Ultra should remain similar to current premium mobiles Galaxy. Polar ID is actually smaller than the current visor pro selfie camera. It is not yet certain whether we will see this valuable security innovation.
Anyway, I personally hope that Samsung will give us a choice. Until now, it has taught us to scan fingerprints in the display, when it has finally taught itself to correctly recognize them. The advantage of a biometric facial scan would be in the choice that the customer would get. He would simply choose what suits him more. However, if Samsung replaces the fingerprint reader with a facial scan, I will be downright disappointed.
Face id was one of the reasons proI switched from an iPhone to a Samsung. Iphone se It won't unlock when I'm wearing sunglasses and that has driven me crazy many times. Ultraaudio reader is great. I'm still picking up the phone, it's not like that proIt's hard to put your thumb on the display.
Of course, Samsung has it again. proIt's okay if you have gloves. Every technology has something pro a proyou, it would be ideal to give the user a choice.
