For the uninitiated, Infineon is a manufacturer that makes 3D sensors, and by partnering with several OEMs, more high-end devices getting launched will be able to sport 3D cameras. Recently, one of the German company’s partners, LG, revealed that its upcoming flagship, the G8 ThinQ will feature an Infineon-made front-facing Time of Flight (ToF) camera. This opens up a myriad of possibilities for the G8 ThinQ, and with the smartphone officially getting unveiled at the MWC 2019 trade show later this month, we’ll see the kind of advancements the camera has made once it’s outfitted in a smartphone.

Although LG didn’t delve into the technical details of the ToF front-facing camera, the company did promise a new level of selfie camera capabilities with its upcoming phone. For those that don’t know, a ToF camera measures the time an infrared signal takes to bounce off a subject and return to the source. This will make the ToF chip more effective in dimly-lit places, so it will be able to recognize the user’s face in low illuminated surroundings.
