Shortly after the Pixel 7 launch, Weinbach tweeted\u00a0that his Pixel 7 Pro <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MaxWinebach\/status\/1581684574370660353\">automatically declines<\/a> all contactless payments.<\/p>\n<p>Evidently, Weinbach encountered this problem because he tried to activate Google Pay with face unlock. As explained by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MishaalRahman\/status\/1581716696401776642\">Mishaal Rahman<\/a> of Esper, face unlock is a \u201cClass 1\u201d biometric system, meaning that it isn\u2019t secure enough to unlock Google Pay or sign into apps.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Seem a bit of poor UX is confusing a lot of Pixel 7 users right now. If you unlock your phone with face authentication and then try to make a contactless payment via Google Pay, the payment is declined and then you&#8217;re asked to unlock your phone via fingerprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MishaalRahman\/status\/1581716696401776642?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 16, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>An official statement from Google, which was obtained by\u00a0CaschysBlog\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Flix_95\/status\/1578077023951634440\">Felix Frank<\/a>, provides further clarification. \u201cFor\u00a0secure activities like app sign-in and making payments on Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, you can use Fingerprint Unlock or rely on\u00a0a strong pin or password.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We aren\u2019t exactly surprised by these limitations. Unlike the Face ID system on iOS, which uses lasers to measure the depth of your face, Android\u2019s face unlock doesn\u2019t utilize depth sensors or any other fancy <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>. It simply scans a 2D image of your face. (Samsung is the exception here, as it combines face unlock with iris scanning.)<\/p>\n<p>Technically speaking, the Pixel 7 is better equipped for face unlock than previous Android phones. Machine learning algorithms and the new autofocus selfie lens should offer an increased level of security. But I doubt that Google will upgrade the Pixel 7\u2019s face unlock beyond a \u201cClass 1\u201d system.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re currently working on our Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro reviews. And we\u2019re excited to share how we feel about the new face unlock system, along with all the other upgrades included in these phones.
