Samsung will release the Galaxy S21 series (tentatively named) flagship in the first half of next year. According to foreign media reports, Samsung Galaxy S21 abandoned the TOF sensor.
Foreign media pointed out that Samsung abandoned the TOF sensor because there is no killer application of TOF technology.
Prior to this, Samsung applied TOF technology to the Galaxy S10 series and Galaxy Note 10 series, but it did not become popular for more than a year. This is the main reason why Samsung Galaxy S21 gave up TOF.
It is reported that TOF is short for the Time of flight, and its most important application is ranging. The ToF ranging method is a two-way ranging technology, which mainly uses the flight time between two asynchronous transceivers (Transceiver) (to measure the distance between nodes).
In the line-of-sight environment, the ToF-based distance estimation method can make up for the shortcomings of the RSSI-based distance estimation method.
In addition to the TOF information, the details of the Galaxy S21 are still unknown. It was previously reported that the Samsung Galaxy S21 has no off-screen camera, so it is speculated that it may still adopt a more mature and stable digging screen solution.
In addition, not surprisingly, the Galaxy S21 series will also be one of the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 commercial models, which is worth looking forward to.
