Rumors about the next Samsung Galaxy S9 have been around for a long time, and we almost know what its design will be, with the rear camera vertically, like the iPhone X, and with the fingerprint sensor still on the back of the device, as Samsung appears to have not developed the technology to reliably implement it on-screen. Now also, Thanks to the new Exynos processor that the Korean company has announced, we know some of the functions that it will incorporate.
And is that this new processor includes important innovations at the level of artificial intelligence and "machine learning" that will allow you to recognize images at high speed, being able to create facial filters in real time, and you will also have the possibility of performing 3D facial scans. Does this remind you of something? They are precisely the functions of the Animoji and the Face ID of the iPhone X.
Despite the fact that Samsung has been incorporating facial recognition as an unlocking system for its smartphones, along with the retina scanner, none of these systems has been able to eliminate the fingerprint sensor, located in a place that many find very uncomfortable: in the back next to the camera. The Asian giant has been working hard to get it integrated on the screen, as some manufacturers have already achieved, but it is that when we talk about Samsung or Apple, reliability is everythingWhile other brands just make headlines for having an in-screen fingerprint sensor, Apple and Samsung need it to work perfectly.
With this new processor it seems that Samsung will bet on facial recognition more seriously than until now, with which no type of payments can be made. Obtaining 3D images of the face is essential for a more reliable system that cannot be fooled with a simple photograph, and this processor will allow the processing of these images. However, according to rumors, Samsung will continue to keep the fingerprint sensor on the back.
Another feature that will borrow from the iPhone X will be the Animoji. In order to create these animated images that simulate your gestures in real time, it is not only necessary to have a front camera and sensors, but also a processor with enough power to create these animations as they occur. The Animoji can only be used with the iPhone X and with the Apple Messages application at the moment. If its use becomes widespread, we could soon see this function in other messaging applications. Dreaming is free.
