Even though facial recognition sound cool, having your phone watching you feels a bit creepy.

Rob's report:

Samsung GALAXY Nexus Official, Press Release And All

1.2 GHz processor is confirmed...

Yeah, that is disappointing.

Steven, was that the only thing your source was wrong about?

Locked or unlocked bootloader? Must be unlocked......

Anybody got a link for the press conference/announcementt?

 

[Dubbin1]

I'm not too sure about that facial recognition stuff. What happens if the camera breaks while the phone is locked???

 

[zx10droid]

facial unlock doesnt do much for me, it takes me less than 1/2 a second to unlock my dinc using the pattern unlock, seriously doubt the facial unlock is going to be more time efficient than that, not to mention it being silly looking lol

I don't think that 1.5ghz would really have been anything special over a 1.2ghz

I am going to assume facial recognition is only one of the methods to be used for unlocking.

Wont turning the camera on every time you flip the screen on kill the battery quicker? Cool but, very gimmicky IMO.

I'm sure there is a backup option, some type of password

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

300 to 12k!

^What is cosmic panda

 

[The_Chief]

I doubt a FFC, turned on & off that fast, would reduce battery life significantly...
