Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tricked with a selfie is a new proof of the fact that Koreans do not really care about user safety, so the facial recognition system is very weak. The Samsung Galaxy S8 was very easy to fool with selfies by those who tested this Samsung smartphone, and with Samsung Galaxy Note 8 it seems that we have exactly the same level of security.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has in the video clip below a demonstration of the ease with which the facial recognition system can be fooled by anyone who puts their mind to the contribution. A simple picture opened on the screen of another phone can very easily fool the facial recognition system of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and the people from Samsung have little to do to solve this problem, considering that the software is not theirs .
We know that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 uses the facial recognition system natively implemented in Google's Android operating system, and this is where the problem comes from. Google did not think the facial recognition system to be anything other than a simple method for users to have fun saying they are using a revolutionary technology, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 does not recommend its use.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 does not allow the use of the Samsung Pay mobile payment system with the facial recognition system, because it is too poorly secured. Those from Samsung specify on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that this facial recognition system does not offer good data protection, so users know what to expect when they activate it for daily use.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 does not have the facial recognition promoted as one of the major functions that the Samsung company has implemented for users. In contrast to the iPhone 8, which will have an advanced facial recognition system, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is based on very weak software that can be fooled with photos, something that will not happen with what Apple will offer through Face ID.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is currently in the hands of those who test various mobile phones that have not yet been launched, so this information comes from them. Of course, when ordinary users will receive the pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the situation will be the same, only then we will see more evidence of the fact that the system is easy to fool.
