Face Unlock has been an available feature on every Pixel for a while and is present in the latest Android 12 Beta, it's just not depth-sensing because it lacks the hardware that the Pixel 4 and iPhone use, just uses front-facing camera instead and warns you about using it.

Where are you getting this from? I have a Pixel 5. It doesn't have face unlock. Only the 4 did!

It was actually originally announced/demoed on a Galaxy Nexus running ICS back in 2011! They might have removed it at some point after that and added it again for the Pixel 4 since its entire gimmick was the soli sensor

All the weak biometrics are disabled in banking apps etc, so you'll still need the fingerprint (or just the PIN code).

Ah thanks for the note.
