Researcher Counterpoint pointed out that under the promotion of Apple and Samsung, smartphone manufacturers will continue to adopt facial recognition technology. It is expected that facial recognition technology will become the standard equipment for smart phones in the future. In 2020, more than one billion smartphones will be introduced into this technology.
In 2013, Apple announced the launch of Touch ID, which set a trend in mobile consumer applications. Smartphone manufacturers around the world have followed Apple's efforts to import fingerprint sensors into their devices. The popularity of this model makes the security based on fingerprint sensors a standard in the application of affordable mobile phones. Therefore, it is expected that more than 1 billion smartphones will be imported into fingerprint sensors by 2018.
With the launch of facial recognition technology, will Apple bid farewell to Touch ID technology? This is the question we have recently considered. But in any case, in 2018 Apple's competitors will inevitably use similar technology to compete for market share. This may cause the facial recognition system to become a new way to unlock the smartphone and gradually replace the fingerprint sensor.
Apple's facial recognition produces a 3D depth image that is implemented by a combination of multiple sensors on the iPhone X. Among other manufacturers: Samsung relies on 2D face recognition and iris scanners, while domestic brands only rely on 2D face recognition. Looking ahead, more OEMs will choose the appropriate 2D or 3D facial recognition technology to unlock based on their smartphone price.
Counterpoint's component tracking estimates that more than 1 billion smartphones will be imported into facial recognition technology by 2020. Among them, Apple (Apple) and Samsung (Samsung) may take the lead in adopting this new technology, followed by domestic brands Oppo, vivo, Xiaomi, Yijia, Huawei and so on.

Counterpoint senior analyst Pavel Naiya pointed out: "On the Android platform, the native 2D face recognition system has been introduced, so it is expected that the face recognition technology will be more popular than other functions to the low-end machine. Kind." Pavel Naiya estimates that about 60% of face recognition systems for smartphones in 2020 will use 3D technology.
Pavel Naiya added: "At this stage, sensor integration will be more important than ever. It is likely to open a new era in major OEMs (as data providers) and chip makers ( As a platform provider to build partnerships to stay ahead and make new technologies more democratic. We believe that new platform players will provide unique access to the latest smartphones through the use of machine learning, data processing and sensor data analysis. The function."
Safety and convenienceWhen discussing biometrics, recurring themes are "safe" and "convenient," and for most consumers, convenience seems to be more important than security. But is facial recognition technology really better than fingerprint sensors?
Peter Richardson, research director at Counterpoint Research, said that in some cases, direct-view smartphones do cause inconvenience, such as when walking fast on crowded streets. In this case, the apparent fingerprint sensor is more convenient and faster because it only needs to be removed from the user's pocket or bag and can be unlocked without the user having to directly view the device. Although facial recognition is not the easiest in all situations, it is more secure and therefore suitable for more secure applications such as mobile payments. In the payment state, consumers will be willing to wait longer, such as 2-3 seconds, in order to be safer, such as using a mobile phone when purchasing more expensive items.
In the past few months, the form of contactless unlocking has been popular, mainly to accommodate large display machines, so Counterpoint Research believes that fingerprint sensors have a future.
Hardware and software certificationFacial recognition technology is widely used beyond identity authentication, including augmented reality and other applications that require precise and complex 3D sensing technology. However, in terms of the current form, the cost issue is still a hardware injury to 3D technology, which will limit its current use to high-end mobile phones. This will create an opportunity for a software-based facial recognition system that can stimulate facial recognition interest with the Apple iPhone X app and deploy these solutions to all solutions except the high-end flagship.
Neil Shah, Director of Counterpoint Research, commented on the technical potential: "Based on artificial intelligence machine learning algorithms and high-speed processors, the latest software face recognition technology can overcome the traditional defects of 2D face recognition and may become face recognition. A real alternative.†He further analyzed techniques such as convolutional neural network algorithms and video-based biometric detection, such as FaceTec and Sensory, which claimed that third parties could not actually deceive the face recognition phone owner through photos or videos. .

In the near future, Counterpoint Research expects mobile devices to incorporate a range of biometric sensors such as face, iris, voice and fingerprint. Each biometric technology is not competing with each other, but is presented to the application in the most convenient and uninterrupted way.
Neil Shah added that in 2018, we expect all leading handset manufacturers to launch flagships with facial recognition. Although it is not a necessary function, it has also been inspired by Apple's "Liu Hai" design to form the "You have, I have, everyone has" fashion statement. Shah added that in addition to the flagship machine, the leading domestic mid- to high-end mobile phones are expected to introduce 2D facial recognition technology in the near future.
