This feature is quite similar to the Iris scanner. In this, the face of the person is scanned for verification instead of the eyes only. This feature could be easily enabled through the Lock screen and Security settings. Just select Facial Recognition from the settings page and let the device scan your face for a while, and you are all done. Next time you wake your device through the power button or virtual home button, the device will verify your face and recognize it to unlock it.
3. Smart Lock
Under the same settings page for the above two features, you will find another great feature named the Smart Lock. This feature helps you avoid typing your PIN or Password when you are in a safe place. After setting up the Smart Lock feature, you can keep your Samsung Phone unlocked when holding it or at a specific time or place.
