When Apple introduced iPhone X, the company basically brought a spotlight on a technology that failed to work on smartphones before. The company introduced facial recognition technology which it calls the Face ID and it further set the trend for other upcoming smartphones. And why not, this technology paved a way for more secure biometric technology and it could be used for easy access to device as well as for things like unlocking and paying with the device.

And now, more and more smartphones come equipped with facial recognition security, offering up a new way for us all to secure the smartphones. While this trend is slowly picking up but at the same time skeptics are also of the view that this technology is not necessarily more secure than a fingerprint scanner. But again, while trends keeps changing and as the companies are looking for ways to differentiate themselves new biometric ideas like facial recognition seem to be the way forward.

Thus in the days to come we will be seeing Face Recognition becoming more prominent and a new method of offering secure authentication for mobile phones. We can also expect many smartphone makers to join the bandwagon.

Having said that some of the smartphone brands are already vernturing into this space and have in fact introduced smartphones with such technology. Manufacturers like OnePlus, Huawei, LG, Oppo, and Vivo amongst others have launched few smartphones that are currently available in the market with this feature.

So if you are looking for a smartphone that offers more biometric security options, more than just fingerprint scanner, we have compiled a list of Android smartphones with Face Unlock feature and these handsets costs far cheaper than Apple iPhone X.
