It also details facial recognition tech that acts both as an ID system and maps users' expressions onto emojis.

Can companies just fucking stop with this already? Microsoft was trying to encourage developers to use the Kinect to do 'emotion recognition' to dynamically change the difficulty of a game back in 2011. It's a pretty fucking retarded idea and only encourages me even more to put covers on my phone's front facing camera.

Emotion recognition is completely retarded, my face doesn't change when I play a game, I probably just look like I'm midway through a shit for 2 hours.

Putting shit like this in a phone is ambitious from a security perspective, and it doesn't really add to my confidence when the company attempting to do it has everything leaked early.

Yeah seriously. First they want voice recognition on phones, then they add fingerprint scanners, then they add iris scanners, then they add sophisticated facial recognition. Yeah, there's absolutely no way collecting all of this bio-metric data could go wrong whatsoever, right?
