I had the same problem, I'm a first responder and have to wear a mask 12 hours a day. My solution, I have my smart watch turned on as a trusted device under the smart lock option. Whenever my phone is connected to the watch, I just swipe to unlock. No face, no password, no passcode needed.
Still happy with my 3 XL. It still does everything I want and does it well.
AND it reads my fingerprint just as it always did.
My face unlock works when I pull my mask down under my nose. So it works even when my mouth is still covered. So that's weird.
I know. There are times I miss the fps. I do love the speed of soli.I mentioned that earlier.
In fact, Face Unlock works whether I am wearing a hat/baseball cap or not; it works with a mask so long as it is simply pulled below the tip of my nose; and it works regardless of whether I am wearing my regular eyeglasses, dark sunglasses, or no glasses at all.
Makes you wonder, just how much of the face is it measuring/using to make a lock/unlock decision? And how many other faces might be able to unlock your phone?
You'll just have to face it....it's not as good as FPSI mentioned that earlier.
