This one article from several where they claim we get an update to the face unlocking software. 

@HMD_Laura Can you check with HMD when we get the promised update? 

Thank you.

Nokia 4.2 is the first one with the face unlock.
Maybe next months the other model also will receive it.

Empty promise for the Nokia 8 to get anything other than the smart unlock face unlock. It just doesn't have the hardware to do it securely. No depth hardware to map a face and no infrared illumination to illuminate a face in lowlight.

Face unlock seems to work OK for me on my Nokia 8 (on 5.150 Pie)

I've set it up via Settings, Security & Location, Smart Lock, Trusted Face

(Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're all referring to...)

Works for me on v5.150!

Trusted Face is not the same as Face unlock. Take a look the video I shared

Smart Lock, Trusted Face

  is good enough.  I do not need more.

Yes, it works, but it's not a safe feature. 
HMD will use its own technology.

It doesn't work after security patch of Apr 2019

On Nokia 8 works, you are not with the same phone.

Not the same phone and that's disabled by an admin so it DOES work.
