Google forges a new path for face recognition on Pixel phones in the shadow of Apple.

According to three former workers of the Alphabet Inc. business who are familiar with the operations, facial recognition was briefly removed from the most recent Google Pixel phones on Thursday due to problems with cost and performance.

The new Pixel 7’s functionality is inferior to Apple Inc.’s Face ID unlocking system since it struggles in low light and is more susceptible to being spoof. Additionally, Google has stated that it is not secure enough to provide app sign-in or payment functionality.

The comeback comes after Google tightened its guidelines for releasing facial recognition products, in part because of concerns about how well it would work on people with darker skin. The business spent time reviewing how it trains and tests facial recognition.

On a number of particular inquiries regarding its experience with face unlock, Google chose not to respond. According to the general statement, “Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro offer Face Unlock, but we’re handling it a little differently, thanks to improved machine learning algorithms for face recognition.” “We achieve good facial accuracy performance with the front-facing camera,” the statement continued.

Although Google has been working on face unlock for Android handsets for at least ten years, the pressure increased when Apple introduced Face ID in September 2017, according to the sources.

About Squid Game

Squid Game season two premiered on December 26 last year. It starred Lee Jung-jae and centred around a secret competition in South Korea that target people in debt and the winner get a big cash prize. However, losing the game is deadly. Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game season one released in 2021.

Speaking with AP recently, Dong-hyuk said that he originally conceived of the show 15 years ago as a two-hour film but it failed to gain traction with financiers or even interested actors. He put it aside and worked on other films instead. He then had the idea to make it a TV series instead and took the project to Netflix. There, it could reach a wide audience. “I never in my wildest dream thought it was going to be this huge,” he had said.
