Few Android Phones Will Try To Copy Apple's Face ID In Early 2018

With Apple deciding to use new Depth Sensing technology for the iPhone X's Face ID, many believe that Android phone makers might start using it for their own devices. However, it looks like many Android flagships coming out during the first half of 2018 won't have the same 3D-sensing feature. Industry sources say that smartphone vendors, particularly in China, are actually more interested in selling the rest of their unsold inventories. This is also the reason why many of those Android phone manufacturers are postponing plans to develop new technologies like fast charging, wireless charging and Face ID-like features, according to Digitimes. Another reason that's hindering the adoption of 3D-sensing cameras on Android smartphones is the slow yield rates for producing components.
