Kuwait: During this pandemic, a mask is a must. But, this creates a problem because we can't unlock our phones with facial recognition. But if you have a Huawei phone, you can use your fingerprint. With dual biometric identification, your Huawei phone can recognize you through either 3D facial recognition or fingerprint sensing, which improves privacy protection.

Fingerprint sensing is a technology we're all familiar with. The in-screen fingerprint sensing solution, also called invisible fingerprint technology, puts the fingerprint sensor behind the screen. The in-screen fingerprint sensor can recognize you without your touch. This is a mainstream technology used in borderless phones today.

3D facial recognition has huge advantages for security. It captures the depth of different parts of your face, draws a 3D image with image processing algorithms, and compares it with the image saved in the phone. Huawei's flagship phones use the advanced Time of Flight (ToF) facial recognition technology. It measures distance by sending a signal and timing how long it takes to be reflected back to the sensor. The ToF 3D sensor is more compact and demonstrates the excellence of Huawei phones' features.

As a leader in mobile phone innovations, Huawei supports both 3D facial recognition and in-screen fingerprint sensing for security. The encryption, verification, and storage of 3D facial recognition information and fingerprint information are in an isolated Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Facial and fingerprint feature data does not leave the user's phone or get uploaded to the cloud so ensuring that this information is secure.

In addition, you can also enable App Lock for important messaging apps. It asks for biometric verification once you open an app for extra privacy.

Be it for accessing your phone or even opening certain apps, with Huawei’s dual biometric recognition standing guard, you can be assured that your privacy and safety is guaranteed.

Meta description: With Huawei’s dual biometric recognition features, users have the best of security for unlocking their phone or apps.
