Yep, plus works in the dark, works when you're not able to look at the phone, generally works faster than facial unlock.

Fingerprint also works with a mask on. Think cold places and big polluted cities. Almost everyone wears a mask in Shanghai if they can.

Face unlock works with gloves on, think winter :) Oh, and it works when your hands a slightly wet, or when they are very dry.

Some of the higher quality face unlock uses a dot matrix of IR projected onto the face. Should be visible in dark. Might be hard in areas that are bright in the IR spectrum though.
