Huawei has made it a habit to discuss Apple's latest technologies in its press conferences, and recently, the company revealed two technologies that they believe are much better than those in the iPhone X.
During a press event for the Honor V10 phablet in China, company executives gave attendees a glimpse into the features of a future Android phone model, revealing that it plans to develop not only a facial recognition system similar to Face ID, but also animated emoji based on this technology that will essentially be a clone of Apple's Animoji.
In both cases, Huawei says its features will be substantially better than Apple's, both in terms of security and usability.
For example, the facial recognition system developed by Huawei, which at this point has not yet been named because it is still in its early days, will use upgraded units capable of detecting at least 300,000 points in 10 seconds. Apple's iPhone X does the same thing, but with only 30,000 points used to create a 3D image of the face, which is why Huawei says its facial recognition technology will be much more accurate and secure.
Furthermore, Huawei says it will make it as fast as fingerprint scanners, so the device will unlock in just 400 milliseconds.
And the icing on the cake is an Animoji clone that uses said facial recognition system. This is a feature that is missing from the iPhone X for now, but which Huawei apparently sees as a major achievement that will help the company beat Apple in the smartphone market.
Industry watchers will likely recall that this isn't the first time Huawei has copied rival Apple, and most recently it promised to release a dual-camera system on the Mate 10 that would make the iPhone 7/8 Plus obsolete.
