Hey guys, I've recently bought a nokia 8.1 and i was looking for the face unlock capability, that was anouced the phone would have in a new update, but the only thing I've found is the google smart lock face unlock, that is fooled by photos so prety inssecure, does anyone know if it will receive any updates that enables a face unlock feature like the nokia x7? that is secure.
Dedicated Face Unlock is not part of any of the Nokia smartphones (except for Chinese variants). And I do not see it changing anytime soon. Maybe not until they launch a phone which has a dedicated sensor to do face detection. Probably Nokia 9 will be the one.

I think X7 doesn't have this dedicated sensor, right?
It is still the kind of face unlock vulnerable to photos.

On the x7 it's just software, and going by the tests on youtube and some friend's phones it isn't vulnerable to photos. i don't know why the global variant is so vulnerable.

This is the google made face unlock that is vulnerable to photos. the chinese version (X7) has a more secure face unlock feature that is separated from that.

It does. But it is not as usable as the CN version. In CN you can set it in various ways such as unlock without turning on the screen or not needing to swipe after face recognized.

I've booked honor 8 pro from Flipkart on BBDs. I've got my mobile box without having seal on it.should i accept or i return to Flipkart?...Also I'm facing some issues.kindly please help me out by replying.
So here is my 3 issues.
1.while on wide aperture mode i can't zoom.it is the company given or I'm having problem.
2.when I'm using a pattern lock i can't use my fingerprint to unlock device.either if I'm using the PIN or Password protection then fingerprint unlock is also working.
3.when I've got my device I've put a Vodafone sim on it.then I've received the message from Vodafone saying that I'm eligible for vodafone amazon buy 1gb or above pack and get 9gb for 5 recharges.
Over confused there bcoz I've booked mobile from Flipkart then why msg showing amazon offer?...u can see on ss attached...please please please help me.
If you bought a new 8 Pro then I'd definitely return an opened sealed box/phone.
1. The camera tells it to you. Zoom is not supported in wide aperture mode.
2. Pattern lock with fingerprint is not supported in EMUI.

Hey guys. Will this model be getting any kind of face unlock? I know it would be obviously less secure than the pro.
My mate 9 has face unlock and I'm wondering if it would be similar? Thanks
I dont think it even has the sensor for that
I know, but does the front facing camera work for face unlock? It does on my older mate 9
its very dead in here ...we need to grow the community ...we need support for this xda forum ...i would like to give my p please just do it ...
I think this phone has great hidden potential
We need to explore more

The device has the potential but Samsung security and exynos processor are making it hard to be on full loose. But, as is evident from the history of other Samsung devices with exynos like j7 prime and many others, and also pretty good specs, we can expect a good number of developers to grab this one.

Still, all of this depends on how many people will go with redmi note 7 pro. I hope people realize that this time (and probably for the first time), Samsung is providing a better option than xiaomi at a little higher price.

Yes Brother.. hope they will push new update for A50.
I would like to start development on Galaxy A50. Currently waiting for open source kernel, I recently requested Samsung to release source code lets see. Need some testers maybe who can take risk of unlocking bootloader and installing custom ROMs, recoveries, kernels.
I am happy with camera, gaming particularly pubg(made for pubg) and display.
But fingerprint sensor needs lot of work.
They already gave one update for fp.
Hello Friends,
Just got my hands on the A50. Great display and good specs. Waiting for devs to pour in some goodies. Especially no HAL3 support

How is the public response in Europe?
Moved from ASUS Max Pro M2 to this beauty yesterday. Amazing device and I'm loving it.
I'm getting mine on Monday, really excited to get this one! just a question, does anyone know if in Europe (I live in Portugal) it comes with a rubber cover for the a50 inside the box?

Greetings,
I'm interested in buying this phone mostly because it seems to have a good camera on paper for my <20k INR budget and the UI is a personal favourite of mine, just below the OxygenOS.
I would love to hear your experience with the camera, if it supports the GCam mod properly, and does the chunky design of the phone really make you reconsider buying it?
I would also love to know if you've tried anything to make the hdr10 work outside the YouTube app.
Thank you
I intend to get one if its easy to root the phone. Is it possible?

Yeah, from what I gathered online, all moto phones have a very similar and simple way to root them.
I remember having to write a letter to Xiaomi on why I wanted to root my phone and wait a week just to have the ability to unlock the bootloader of my Redmi note 4 lol. Moto's method is definitely way easier than that.

would system be read/write though? I've been out of the loop for a while, is there any fix for it yet?
if you're purchasing now, then there's no ROMs, TWRP, or anything.. but u can easily unlock bootloader and use ADB coz its Stock Android.. so if you want custom ROMs.. now you can just wait.. (if any ROM developer sees this.. if u own a Moto G40F.. pls make ROMs for this device.. thanks)
Does this device have NFC? The information all over the internet is contradicting. Please confirm

G40 has no NFC, My mum has the device
Did the widevine L1 certification get degraded for anyone
So as someone who wanted a fold 3 at launch and didn't buy it because of that whole disabled cameras thing (i know they have since changed the policy on that phone). I am hoping I can buy this one as a US model and be able to root.
But it got me wondering, for such a tech savvy phone, how many people root folds? And how important is it to you?
I'll root it — hopefully there ain't gonna be any stupid Samsung tricks again like Fold 3 — blocking the camera and so…
I'm supposed to get it tomorrow — there should be OEM unlock as a standard on the Euro version, I've already rooted the firmware, rooted through Magisk and will flash it once I get the phone.
Hopefully - no stupid Samsung surprises!
I will definitely root it.

On my fold4 from vodafone Germany, the option is off.
Yeah — that's OK, but it's there - it must be in Europe. Then you toggle it on, reboot to Download mode and it'll give you an option there to confirm bootloader unlock. In fact - could you do it?
Just toggle it on, reboot to Download - select fully unlock bootloader - and if there's the tricks from Samsung it'll say “Your camera is going to be disabled - please confirm…” You don't have to do it if you then don't want to , and nothitg'll happen - it'll just reboot.
At least you'd give me a piece of mind for one night - if it's there or not… :O)
Do you think the unlocked US version will be possible to root?
Achso, I understood your post that the option is on by default, not whether it is available.

Like ever? Not even those paid services? I really hope I don't have to import one and lose out on the preorder deals.

Usually not. Only Europe.
USA Snapdragon Samsung phones haven't been rootable in a while.
Don't expect this to change unfortunately.

Was hoping since with no exynos version they'd all be the same. I guess not.
Time to message a friend to see if I can use their address for pre-ordering and have them ship it to me.
When I first got the Fold 2, there was a "service" that would supposedly be able to unlock the snapdragon bootloader so it could be rooted. I actually paid for it but decided not to do it. I am not sure if they are still "in business".
None of the banking apps I used worked on rooted phones.
And I would wonder if Sammy would disable the camera on unlocked bootloader again!
So I just did the oem/bootloader unlock. The cameras against still.
No, it's pointless.
No real need to root phones any more, most the stuff worth rooting for is doable without it nowadays

What exactly are you saying? Is the camera disabled? Or does it work?
Sorry google translate.

Do you have 2 physical SIM + eSIM?
Does Samsung Health work (after rooting)?
Only 1 physical sim.
I haven't rooted it yet, just unlocked the bootloader.

Did you finish bootloader unlock in Download mode? :O) Not only toggle OEM Unlock on in Settings. Just making sure…
