Baba nice one. But u urself know u cannot trust the face id on the infinix, even Samsung galaxy s9 intelligent scan still can't match iPhone X's face id. I just think comparing it with the iPhone X was not necessary. Nice feature to have though, but just like u said.. if I have this phone I'll stick with using the fingerprint. cheers

Good thing you have choices. I wish Apple did that.

I wish the same too, but maybe Apple are so sure about how secure their face id is that they thought they didn't need a fingerprint scanner. Or maybe they are just being arrogant..m I expect touch Id to be back soon though.

What kinda comparison is dis nah
Re: Infinix Hot S3 Official Discussion Thread by abdomints: 10:34am On Mar 25, 2018
Face ID seems to be a tech feature but not a need. Fingerprint is good enough or even better in my opinion. And yes, Infinix Hot S3 has some similarities with iPhone X but both the handsets are not really comparable.

Actually Apple was just being Apple coz the face ID isn't as fast as fingerprint unlock.

It's definitely a huge battery, camera and software upgrade from the J7 Neo, however, for gaming and browsing the web, they pretty much have the same efficiency.

OnePlus 5T has the fastest FaceID but according to you nothing is comparable to Apple because you've bought the hype too much.

Comparing OnePlus 5t face unlock to Apple's face id is just like convenience vs security. One plus 5t face unlock is not secure even OnePlus said it themselves that it's just an additional security. Yes it's very fast but that's because it just scans the face using only the front facing camera. It can easily be spoofed unlike the iPhone x that uses series of sensors to scan the eyes. Face id is not slow per say, just that it requires swiping after unlocking, not as fast as oneplus 5t though.

U also know OnePlus 5t face unlock is almost useless in low light while face id still works.

And where have I ever said nothing is comparable to Apple? They make good products but have their flaws and are too arrogant.

I can't just imagine selling my Samsung to buy this peice of crap. After 3months you start hearing faulty charger, faulty charging connector, battery not charging for 3hours. grin

You hit da nail on da head! sad I made the mistake of switching from Samsung to Infinix last year, and I have regretted it ever since then. My Infinix phone bought from a reputable store, was plagued with the same problems you mentioned, barely 5 months after I started using it. undecided I would never recommend Infinix to anybody...their after-sales service offered through Carlcare in Lagos, is nothing but pure rubbbish! angry
