Unlock the Lenovo A586 with your voice |
Obviously some safeguards will need to be taken and we would suggest using a passphrase that is not something you commonly say to prevent an accidental unlocking. For example, considering that this technology is on an Android device, you could make your passphrase, "Please pass me my Apple iPhone 5."

At least that demonstrates the feature isn't limited to high end phones/requires flagship-level specs. Good job Lenovo..

This is simply awesome. let just hope apple doesn't try to patent and steal this one. i hope they would put VOICE UNLOCK in all android devices later software update

Eric Clapton example is hilarious, but seriously the phone would still recognize him unless he had a plastic surgery to make him even more attractive.
And no worries as Lenovo phones are obviously not for stars unlike Note 2 or Xperia LOL.

Price wise? indeed. Lenovo phones are mostly aimed at the mid range segment. Their High End phones are even priced at the mid range price range of the big OEM's mid range phones.

Hopefully Lenovo will expand the ThinkPad line to include business class smartphones with this technology along with biometrics.

Lenovo! How dare you copy iPhone 6S's most outstanding feature? Get ready to be sued! :P

Somehow, I doubt that Apple will be going too hard into voice-based biometric security. They have been investing in finger print scanning technology.
Of course, the finger print technology investment could be just a ruse intended to confuse the copycats....

They are kind of copying with the fingerprinting, laptops used to have that feature a lot and the original Atrix had a biometric fingerprint smart sensor, but if they do that, then they will market it like it's a new technology

Apple may in fact be copying others and then try to claim they invented finger print recognition. But that is where they seem to be headed. Every time I have to experience a voice response system, I am reminded of how the technology seems perpetually not ready for prime time.

I am wondering how voice recognition works when the user has a cold? Or laryngitis? Especially since winter is fast approaching in the northern hemisphere.

WOW...this is so sci-fi. The xperia T featured in Skyfall should show off one of these. But NOOO... the Xperia gets a single miserable frame and it is used to receive a text message. Worse product placement ever.
