Google Pixel 4 face unlock seems super-fast in new leaked video

By Kamran Zia -

We all know the Google Pixel 4 series will sport advanced face unlock functionality, thanks to Google confirming the feature earlier this year. We’ve also seen videos showing off the setup process, but what about the end-result?

A supposedly leaked promotional video obtained by 9to5Google shows just how fast the phone’s face unlock is. The clip shows a notification arriving on a woman’s Pixel 4, with the woman then reaching for the device to pick it up. It’s at this point that we can see the phone’s screen light up, presumably due to the Soli chip detecting a hand reaching for the device.

Once the Pixel 4 owner actually picks up the smartphone, we see it unlocking in virtually no time flat. Of course, it’s possible that this is all marketing magic and that unlock times will be longer than seen here. But even slightly longer unlock times should still be plenty fast.

Can the Pixel 4 reclaim the crown as the benchmark Android phone?

Android enthusiasts stand by their Google Pixels as the best the ecosystem has to offer, much like Nexus fans did before them. Fast updates, bloat-free software, and a solid camera are everything you should ever …

The Pixel 4 series doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner though, so Google is placing a lot of faith in its face unlock technology being fast and accurate. In saying so, current 3D face unlock tech is pretty fast and accurate already, so here’s hoping Google’s take only improves matters.

This isn’t the only Pixel 4 leak we’ve seen this week, as we’ve also seen Dual Exposure Camera Controls, references to a Pixel Neural Core, and a Soli-powered Pokémon demo.

Would you use a phone if it only had face unlock? Give us your answer in the comments below!

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
