So, do you think this is a truly revolutionary payment option or is this just an extension of the Chinese surveillance goals?

it is surely interesting though i am curious to know how accurate it is and how many bugs it has. for example whath appens if you grow facial hair like a mustache or a full beard, will you lose access to your money Cheesy

This was my first thought too, exactly Cheesy

Or, women will do a new makeup in the morning with a new style to the eyes, and they won't be able to pay with their phones because of the face recognition...

I'm not even using the fingerprint scanner. I'm too paranoid to use these features.

Fingerprint, faceID, anything biometric... these are the things you should use as a kind of username and not as a password...
If you start the payment with some biometric thing and you have to input your password or PIN, it could be secure enough... But if you can just authorize a payment with something biometric... a bit scary...

Why?
What happens if you forget your password? Or hackers gain access to it? Or somehow you expose it? No worry, you set up a new password and voilá, you're fine
But what happens if somehow your biometric data (fingerprint, etc...) leaks out and a hacker gains access to it? You just can't change your fingerprint (at least easily... ), and you're in trouble...
