Of course, since that time many manufacturers have bet on these systems as a way to unlock. The well-known Chinese smartphone manufacturer, OnePlus was the latest to put that in its new OnePlus 6, but it has problems and can be fooled with a photo. From the old Android Lollipop that Android has the possibility to use the face of the user to unlock the operating system. It was far from being a perfect system and had many flaws, as has been proven several times. Oneplus has introduced OnePlus 6 to this system, showing its capabilities and usefulness in its use. The problem, and it has not revealed, is that this can be circumvented with a simple printed photograph.

Some brands, such as Samsung, bet on these systems in addition to others, such as reading the iris. This failure of the OnePlus system is so great that later testing revealed that even a simple black-and-white photograph can fool the system and allow access to the device.

As long as manufacturers do not invest in front-end cameras that can detect the depth of field these systems will always be exposed to camera failures, compromising the safety of user data.
