ABI Research: Face Recognition is 5x Easier to Spoof than Fingerprint One

ABI Research: �Face recognition on smartphones is five times easier to spoof than fingerprint recognition,� stated ABI Research Industry Analyst Dimitrios Pavlakis. �Despite the decision to forgo its trademark sapphire sensor in the iPhone X in favor of face recognition (FaceID,) Apple may be now forced to return to fingerprints in the next iPhone,� added Pavlakis.

ABI also comments on Synaptics under-display fingerprint sensor in Vivo X20+ smartphone:

Vivo may have been cautious to fully commit to the new technology and left room to fall back to a traditional sensor below the display,� said Jim Mielke, ABI Research�s VP of the Teardowns service. �The performance of this first implementation does warrant some caution as the sensor seemed less responsive and required increased pressure to unlock the phone.
