The iPhone XR technique described in the link does that too. And it'll usually be better (than the monocular thing).
- CarVac 7y agoThe Pixel 2 uses true monocular depth estimation for the front camera.

- karolist 7y agono... latest Android, one of the snappiest Android phones I had. But I understand where you're coming from, it's typical experience with most Android manufacturers sadly, especially with Samsung where it turns into lagging abandonware 2 years in. I'll stick with it unless Pixel 5 is a compelling upgrade and returns the fingerprint scanner back.
