Pixel 6 Series to acquire Face Unlock feature

Face unlock is almost available on nearly all smartphones (e.g. Android, iOS and etc) it came as a surprise last year that Google’s flagship – Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro – didn’t support it due to Google ditching it at the last minute.

Again some news to share regarding face unlock on Pixel 6/Pro devices. This time a glimmer of hope.

After going through the firmware dump of the new QPR3 Beta 1.1, I found a new change regarding face unlock in the powerhal config file. https://t.co/aO5m0YUxPn pic.twitter.com/r6DAssktPx

Although based on a tweet from an XDA Recognized Developer Freak07, it has been discovered that Google may still be working on adding Face Unlock to the Pixel 6 phones while creating the new Android 12 QRP3 Beta 1.1 build.

The Face Unlock feature will likely be released on the Pixel 6 phones through a future software update. As of now, the only biometric scanner that the Pixel 6 has is a fingerprint scanner. We will post another update once there’s another development regarding this.
