I did read the facial recognition program used to unlock the phone apparently was fooled by a photograph.
I pre-ordered one, expected to ship around 24-25th April, hopefully.

As for the face unlock thing, well that was introduced in Android 4.2 Jellybean, and I remember when Samsung had introduced it in their Galaxy S3, and that too was easily fooled by a photo, so I'm not surprised that nothing has changed. Face unlock has got to be one of the dumbest security features on a device.

I'll stick with the fingerprint scanner.
