Key Highlights:
The upcoming LG flagship will reportedly come with a time of flight sensor on the front for 3D face unlock and improved selfies. The Korean smartphone maker announced the LG G8 ThinQ will come with a ToF sensor made by Infineon. The sensor will reportedly work to make face unlock much less power intensive as compared to solutions like Apple’s FaceID.
While Apple’s TruDepth camera is a miniaturised version of Xbox 360 Kinect where it projects thousands of laser dots on a person’s face to get a 3D depth map, ToF sensor is one that Microsoft later used in the revamped Kinect for the Xbox One.
