And again no Face Unlock like we had in Pixel 4 :(

COVID basically ended and they still won't bring that back, I was hoping that Apple push for that will make Android phones also with a nice and secure face unlocking (for us that have issues with fingerprint sensors not recognizing their fingerprints)

Features do include Face Unlock if you scroll down enough

Face unlock without a 3D sensor is insecure, period.

The Pixel 4 had lidar for that feature.

That's the unsecure one with only camera. And they don't allow to use that where fingerprint.

Pixel 4 had dot projector for security.

Apparently it is secure enough to use for payment apps now on the Pixel 8

They seem fairly confident in it.

"Face Unlock on Pixel 8 now meets the strongest Android biometric class and can be used for banking app sign-in and payment apps like Google Wallet."

Seems like this one has an IR sensor, maybe they use that as well (but probably not as good as lidar)
