As pretty much always, when Apple pushes out a “new”
technology, everybody else follows; the latest example of which, is Face ID on
the iPhone X. So, who do you think is ready to launch a device with the same
technology? Is that Huawei, Xiaomi or Oppo? Well, none of the aforementioned.
Apparently, rapidly growing phone maker – Meiigoo – are the ones who already
have the tech.
Previous to today, we had heard that Meiigoo has
been working on another all-screen device named Meiigoo Note8. According to
latest details – just revealed by the company, the Meiigoo Note8 will be
featuring a similar face recognition ID system to the one present on the new
iPhone X.
Always allegedly, the front-facing camera on the
Note8 indeed support 3D facial recognition that can accurately detect facial
features and then unlock the device in less than a second.
It does indeed sport the same
stunning 18:9 design, dual-sided 3D curved glass, unique mirror-like finish and
the dual camera setup on the back. The fingerprint has been placed on the back
as well just beside the two cameras.
If you’re liking the phone, then visit the Meiigoo
Note8‘s pre-order page over at Gearbest. Since today’s Black Friday, GearBest
