Related for iPhone users: if you press and hold the lock and volume up buttons until the "slide to power off" screen appears, FaceID will be disabled until the next successful passcode entry.

You can press "cancel" after the "power off" screen appears, or you can power it off, faceID will be disabled regardless.

Are there any Android phones with a similar feature?


It's called "lockdown mode" on Android, usually in the power menu. Not quite as good as a pure hardware button flow, but it does exist.


One can also press the lock button five times which has the same outcome.


iPhone 8 on iOS 13 here. That does not work but holding lock and volume does.
