The video examines the security levels of Face Unlock features across various smartphones. It compares the iPhone's Face ID, which uses depth sensors, with other phones like the Google Pixel 8 Pro that employs advanced algorithms and machine learning. In testing scenarios including clear glasses, sunglasses, and masks, the iPhone 15 Pro generally outperforms with reliable and quick recognition. The Google Pixel 8 Pro shows inconsistent performance, particularly with sunglasses and masks. The Nothing Phone 2 is easily fooled by a cardboard cutout of the presenter's face, showing lower security standards. Overall, the iPhone's Face ID is highlighted as the most secure and reliable facial recognition system, especially effective with accessories. The video concludes by inviting viewers to subscribe for future content, particularly related to Pixel phones.

In this segment, the video discusses the differences in security levels of Face Unlock across various smartphones. The iPhone and many Android phones have Face Unlock, but not all provide the same level of security. Basic Face Unlock using a selfie camera might unlock a phone but will still require a PIN or fingerprint for secure apps due to the 2D image limitation. In contrast, the iPhone uses Face ID with depth sensors for higher security. The Google Pixel 8 Pro uses an advanced algorithm with machine learning to enhance Face Unlock security, allowing it to be used for banking apps and Google Pay.
The presenter tests the security claims by performing a series of face recognition tests with different phones: the Nothing Phone 2, iPhone, and Google Pixel 8 Pro. Each phone is tested under three conditions: no facial accessories, wearing clear glasses, and wearing sunglasses. All phones perform well under the first two conditions. Notably, the Nothing Phone 2 even succeeds in unlocking with sunglasses, which was unexpected.

In this part of the video, face unlock features of various phones are tested. The iPhone 15 Pro handled sunglasses with a minor hiccup but performed quickly and securely. The Pixel 8 Pro struggled with sunglasses, detecting them as an obstruction and showing erratic performance, making it unreliable. When tested with a mask, the Nothing Phone 2 failed, while the iPhone 15 Pro worked well after enabling a specific setting. The Pixel 8 Pro did not work with a mask, as expected. The iPhone demonstrated the best overall performance in these tests, with the Nothing Phone 2 succeeding only with sunglasses and the Pixel 8 Pro failing both tests. The segment ends as they prepare to test a cardboard cutout of the face.

In this part of the video, the presenter experiments with unlocking various smartphones using a cardboard cutout of their face. First, they successfully unlock the Nothing Phone 2, demonstrating that this phone’s face unlock system can be easily fooled. The presenter then attempts to unlock an iPhone, which fails to recognize the cutout, working only with the presenter’s actual face. Lastly, they test the Pixel 8 Pro in multiple angles and modes, but the phone consistently fails to unlock with the cardboard cutout, only recognizing the real face. This comparison highlights the varying security levels of facial recognition systems on different devices.
