According to foreign media reports, the three major parts suppliers told Reuters on Tuesday that the vast majority of Android phones will not be able to replicate the 3D sensing capabilities of Apple FaceID FaceID technology until 2019.
In the past decade, the development of new features has been the core of major smart phone manufacturers competing for global market share. Because of its huge R&D budget, Apple often leads technology development to other smartphone manufacturers.
For example, when the iPhone 5S was released in September 2013, Apple introduced the fingerprint sensor home button. As Apple’s main competitor in the high-end smartphone market, Samsung Electronics did not launch similar features on the Galaxy S5 until April of the following year. Finally, other manufacturers have followed Apple and Samsung Electronics.
3D sensing technology is expected to enhance the next generation of mobile phones. It enables accurate face recognition and provides users with an immersive shopping and gaming experience. Market research firm Gartner predicts that by 2021, 40% of smartphones sold globally will be equipped with 3D cameras to support augmented reality technology that will give users an immersive experience. According to Gartner analyst Jon Erensen, "3D sensing technology is very important for augmented reality. I don't think major mobile phone manufacturers are lagging behind in this technology."
Accessories suppliers Viavi Solutions, Finisar and AmsAG all stated that the bottlenecks in key components mean that smart phone manufacturers will wait until next year to adopt 3D sensing technology on a large scale, leaving their previous hopes unsuccessful. This means that after the Apple iPhoneX was launched at the end of last year, Huawei, Xiaomi and other smart phone makers will not be able to launch smart phones that support 3D sensing capabilities for nearly two years.
Android phone manufacturers are currently unable to obtain the issue of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), which are one of the core components of Apple's FaceID hardware.
"Android smartphone makers need a lot of time to ensure the supply chain's supply capability," said Bill Ong, senior director of investor relations at Viavi. The company is also currently the only major supplier of optical filters for 3D sensing modules. “We may be able to use a 3D sensor for the second handset maker by the end of this year, but the output may be very low. By 2019, at least two to three Android smart phone makers will start using this technology.â€
Ogg declined to say which company will launch an Android phone with 3D facial recognition technology this year, but said the company is in talks with all major smart phone manufacturers regarding the supply of optical filters.
Although some of the Android phones listed on the market last year have 3D sensing capabilities, such as the Asus ZenFoneAR, these phones do not use facial recognition sensors like the iPhone X. So far, Apple, Huawei, Xiaomi and Samsung Electronics have not commented on this report.
According to Gartner's Allenson, "Apple has been focusing on supply chain issues. When it comes to such new technologies and applying them to new phones, Apple's approach is usually very aggressive, with the market's leading edge to ensure orders , Differentiate Apple devices from competitors' products."
