Close on the heels of news about Samsung’s marquee smartphone the Galaxy S10 unlocking itself with any fingerprint come reports that Google’s latest offering, the Pixel 4 and Pixel XL 4, have an embarrassing issue related to privacy whereby users are able to unlock their devices even while keeping their eyes shut.
“This is, for obvious reasons, a privacy concern. It allows attackers or authorities to more easily gain access to a person’s device without their permission. Whether the user is asleep or restrained, the Pixel 4 only needs to be raised toward their face for someone to gain access,” says a report published on AndroidAuthority.com.
