Face and fingerprint unlocking may still supplement each other on the 6 Pro with the next quarterly update.

or infrared camera like on the Pixel 4, or a flood illuminator as on Apple's notch-y iPhones with Face ID, so Google would be relying solely on the camera hardware for the face unlocking feature of the Pixel 6 Pro.

Apparently, the 8MP one on the Pixel 6 apparently just wouldn't cut it, despite that barely anyone can do face recognition and computational photography better than Google. In any case, Google had the ability to"face and fingerprint unlock" listed in several marketing materials abroad, print and online, before it pulled any mention of it later.

The face unlocking option, however, will probably be arriving with the next Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro quarterly update, meaning that you may be able to have an alternative secure biometric access to your Google flagship phone this summer.
