"Google is rumored to be developing better face unlocking tech for both the Pixel 11 family and upcoming Chromebooks. This endeavor is internally codenamed Project Toscana. According to someone who allegedly tested it, it will work without any additional visible sensors on the Pixel phones. It's unclear if it's using infrared like iPhones do, but if it is, then the IR bits are hidden under the display (and Apple is rumored to be going the same route for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max)."
"So basically everything looks the same as on a Pixel 10, but, importantly, the face unlocking works as well in low ambient lighting as it does in daylight. Google was rumored to be bringing IR-based face unlocking to the Pixel 11 family last year, and it seems like this is that. But the company is interestingly also developing the same tech for Chromebooks, or at least testing it on some."
Project Toscana aims to bring improved face unlocking to the Pixel 11 family and upcoming Chromebooks. The system reportedly operates without any additional visible sensors on Pixel phones, with possible infrared components hidden beneath the display. Face unlocking performs equally well in low ambient lighting and daylight and is said to match Apple's Face ID in speed. Pixels will continue to include fingerprint scanners, but the new face-unlock option offers a reliable alternative that functions regardless of ambient lighting. Google is testing the same technology on some Chromebooks as well.
