Huawei says it can do better than Apple's Face ID

Huawei has a history of trying to beat Apple at its own game (it unveiled a "Force Touch" phone days before the iPhone 6s launch), and that's truer than ever now that the iPhone X is in town. At the end of a presentation for the Honor V10, the company teased a depth-sensing camera system that's clearly meant to take on Apple's TrueDepth face detection technology. It too uses a combination of infrared and a projector to create a 3D map of your face, but it can capture 300,000 points in 10 seconds -- that's 10 times as many as the iPhone X captures. It's secure enough to be used for payments (unlike the OnePlus 5T), and almost as quick to sign you in as the company's fingerprint readers at 400 milliseconds. Even the silly applications of the tech promise to be better.
