Default [Q] Face unlock on Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0)

My mother just got a Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch and saw that it had ics on it. I have always wanted ics becuase of face unlock. Does anyone know why the Galaxy Tab 2 doesn't have face unlock?

Probably cause it sucks with vga cameras.. I have face lock on my sensation, and but disabled it after a few days cause of crappie results. Sensation has a vga front camera as well.

its a pretty pointless feature imo. badly implemented and not secure at all. and if you are using it, have to turn a light on so it can see your face so no late night tablet while your lady is sleeping next to ya, gotta leave the room first lol
Let me google that for you -The best way to help someone and also tell them they are lazy at the same time.

Trolls are like stray cats, if you stop feeding them, eventually they move on.

Eventually face lock will default to draw or pin if it can't see your face, but still a pita at night.

It is also disabled by other devices probably because it is extremely insecure.
