iPhone X is equipped with the industry's most advanced 3D face-sensing technology. In contrast to the Android camp, although all manufacturers have added the face recognition function to the mobile phone, they only combine the front camera and algorithm. Because there is no independent 3D sensor, Security is far inferior to the iPhone X, and at most it is a gimmick function. Apple marketing director Phil Schiller also publicly stated that the face recognition capabilities of Android manufacturers are very poor.
According to a research report released by Digitimes Research, Android mobile phone manufacturers will follow up with 3D perception sensors this year. The specific time is in the third quarter of this year. The publicity of Xiaomi 7 is expected to be the first Android mobile phone to support 3D perception technology.
It is understood that the reason why Android mobile phone manufacturers have not been able to use 3D sensors is because the technology still has some problems in both hardware and software. Currently the most mature 3D sensor components are established by Qualcomm, Qujing Optoelectronics and Xinli Optoelectronics. Manufactured by the joint venture company, this component only supports the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 mobile platform. This also means that since both Samsung and Huawei have their own processors Exynos and Kirin, the two mobile phone manufacturers may not be the first to use 3D sensors. The manufacturer, it is reported that Samsung will be equipped with 3D sensors for the flagship machine next year.
As for Xiaomi 7, Digitimes stated that Xiaomi originally intended to release this model in the first half of this year, but due to poor face recognition experience, Xiaomi postponed it to the third quarter.
