Google's 'Project Toscana' is set to revolutionize Pixel phones with Face ID technology, potentially addressing one of the Pixel's most frustrating flaws. According to Android Authority, Google is developing an advanced facial recognition system internally dubbed 'Project Toscana'. The feature is reportedly being tested on Pixel phones and Chromebooks, with early testers in Mountain View, California, using prototype devices under various lighting conditions. The project aligns with Google's previous exploration of IR-based solutions for future Pixel devices, potentially as soon as the Pixel 11. However, the timing is interesting given the recent launch of the Pixel 10a, which lacks biometric upgrades. If Project Toscana is real and ready for primetime, it likely won't debut in the budget-friendly 10a, but instead, it could signal that Google is once again trying to build the Android answer to Face ID, and this time, maybe stick with it. But here's where it gets controversial... Will Google finally deliver a reliable and consistent face unlock experience for Android users, or will it struggle in darker environments like previous attempts?
