Samsung, LG and Huawei all used lidar in phones before Apple. I don't believe any of them still do due to lack of adoption. Basically not many used it to justify the cost.
- ladberg 4y agoNot trying to argue, but do you have a source for that? I can't find any examples of handheld consumer LiDAR before Apple.
- rootusrootus 4y agoThis seems to be a misunderstanding. Samsung had some time-of-flight camera technology it used on a few models, but not LIDAR. I've seen some tech articles blur the distinction enough that people think Samsung was including LIDAR on smartphones like the S20.
