‘Mobile phones from Honor, Motorola, Nokia, Oppo, Samsung, Vivo and Xiaomi have face unlock systems that can be fooled by a printed 2D photograph, a flaw that could be exploited by criminals to unlock the screen and steal personal information, Which? research has found.’

Quite alarming but the good news for some was

‘All the Apple phones Which? tested passed the spoofing tests. Apple’s Face ID is a more robust system using sensors to create a 3D depth map of your face. This could be why a lot of banking apps only allow face recognition as a security measure on Apple iPhones.’
