One of the OnePlus 6's (https://mashable.com/2018/05/21/oneplus-6-review/?utm_campaign&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source) (and 5T's (https://mashable.com/2017/11/20/oneplus-5t-review/)) best features is face unlock. It's arguably the fastest on any phone, but the caveat is that it's way less secure than, say, the iPhone X's Face ID.
Just how insecure is the OnePlus 6's face unlock? A video shared (https://twitter.com/rikvduijn/status/1001489657140563969) by Twitter user @rikvduijn (https://twitter.com/rikvduijn) suggests the phone's facial security feature can easily be bypassed with a printed photo.
But is it really as easy as that? Yes and no. As always, the answer is a little more complicated.
