| The following Samsung Galaxy S phones do not have a ToF sensor |
Samsung recently announced that my phone (Galaxy Note 20) and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra) do not have ToF sensors. Next-generation phones (Galaxy S) will not have these sensors, according to a report in South Korea. And also.
According to a report on thelec.kr website, Samsung decided to remove ToF sensor from (Galaxy S21) or (Galaxy S30) phones due to insufficient use cases of the technology.
Additionally, the indirect ToF technology used by Samsung is not as powerful as Apple's direct ToF technology developed by Sony. Due to an exclusive agreement between Apple and the Japanese tech giant, the company cannot understand this.
However, Samsung has not abandoned the concept, and the company's LSI Systems division is said to be working on developing image sensors that can improve indirect ToF technology. However, after seeing how Apple uses ToF technology in its future products and how the market is interacting with it, the South Korean tech giant will consider using it in its smartphones.
