Huawei mocks iPhone X FaceID

Earlier this month, Apple flaunted the practicality of its FaceID facial recognition feature but Huawei rubbing salt into the wounds after earlier this month dethroning Apple as the world’s second largest smartphone maker, is throwing uncertainty about the effectiveness of the security test.

On Facebook, the company released a video showing an unhappy clown emoji fail to assumedly unlock its own phone.

A caption accompanying the video reads: “Let’s face it, facial recognition isn’t for everyone.”

Of course, it is perhaps reasonable to point out that one could have difficulty accessing their smartphone if they are completely made-up as a clown.

Further to this on Twitter, it urged mobile lovers to 'Take the Next Step' and pick up its Mate10 flagship device.

It wasn't long ago the company usurped Apple's device sales although the American company can boast that its app ecosystem reduces its dependency on hardware sales.
