Apple got much popularity because of the facial recognition feature it introduced in its iPhone X. Now, OnePlus will also introduce a similar feature in its phone.

Few days ago, co-founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei, tweeted that on popular demand, the new face unlock security measure will soon come to the OnePlus 5, though he didn’t mention a specific date.

Due to popular demand, Face Unlock is coming for the OnePlus 5. Thanks for the feedback, and merry Christmas! 🎅🎄🎁

It only uses the selfie camera for detecting the face instead of a hi-fi infrared depth-mapping camera but it sure is faster and more flexible, reported Engadget.
