Samsung is widely anticipated to step up the security on its upcoming flagship phones with the inclusion of 3D facial recognition. However, since the leaked renders of the Galaxy S11 Plus only showed one punch-hole cutout, an opinion formed that perhaps the technology giant is going to leave this feature out. Apparently, that’s not the case, that is if a new report regarding the Galaxy S11 Plus front camera is to be believed.

For facial recognition technology, smartphones typically require additional sensors. However, the leaked Galaxy S11 Plus images implied that the phone will not be having any such modules as it will apparently have only one punch hole that will be smaller than the one seen on its predecessor. It turns out that this might not be the case, as the Galaxy S11 Plus front camera will apparently have an embedded Time Of Flight (ToF) sensor. This will likely make 3D facial recognition possible on the phone without the need of an additional cutout or a notch full of sensors.
