Looking to keep up with the competition from Apple’s iPhone X, a number of Android smartphone makers are expected to adopt 3D sensors for products launching in 2018.
Among those are major Chinese brands Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi, according to DigiTimes sources. The latter two companies have reportedly verified 3D sensing packages developed by a joint partnership of Qualcomm, Himax, and Truly Opto-electronics.
Several other suppliers are forecast to win 3D sensor orders —among them Apple partner Largan Precision, which supplies camera lenses for both iPhones and Android devices and has receiver and transmitter lens modules for 3D sensors.
