TL;DR
- Code found in Android 17 QPR 3 Beta 2 offers insights into Pixel’s upcoming “Face Active Illumination” feature.
- The feature will brighten the Pixel’s display to help with face unlock in dark environments.
- Google will let users adjust the brightness level and configure the feature to work in specific situations.
Earlier this month, we spotted Google working on a new “Face Active Illumination” system for Pixel devices. The code we found back then didn’t offer much clarity on whether the feature would be related to Google’s Project Toscana or something else. Well, we now have a much better idea of what this upcoming feature will look like.
