Face recognition:
Unlock the screen by simply raising your phone
and looking at the screen. You will need to set a Screen Lock type
and allow Face recognition to take pictures and record video to
complete the set-up process. The data used to recognize your face
will be saved only to your phone and will not be backed-up.
Fingerprints:
The fingerprint scanner is built into the Side key
on the right edge of the device and can be used by the device to
identify you. Use your registered fingerprint to unlock the screen,
view locked content, confirm a purchase or sign into an app that
supports fingerprint ID. Fingerprint data will be saved only to your
phone and will not be backed-up.

Set up SIM card lock:
Information on your SIM card can be
compromised if you place your SIM in another device. To help
protect it, you can create a PIN that will lock access to the SIM card.
Encrypt SD Card:
Your device allows for an optional microSD of up
to
1TB
for additional storage. You can encrypt it so that it can only
be read on your device once you enter the password you create.
You must decrypt it before initiating a Factory data reset.
Pin windows:
Pin an app to the screen and block all other
functions of the phone. This feature is very helpful if you want to
lend your phone to another user, such as a child, so that they can
only use the pinned app.
