Snapdragon with facial recognition

High-end Android phones are starting to bet more on facial recognition. All this with the idea of ​​exceeding what Apple phones have. And it seems that little by little they are achieving it. Partly because of the help that comes from Snapdragon processors. Since Qualcomm claims they are looking to make processors faster and more efficient.

And infrared light is one of the features that they want to use the most. It can be used both to recognize the face of the phone owner and to reconstruct 3D objects. It is not the first time that the company has worked in the area of ​​facial recognition. Although it seems that this time they have managed to create a much more polished and precise technology.

Qualcomm has put the batteries. So these new Snapdragon processors to be released in 2018 promise a lot. Now it only remains to be seen if they will really perform as well as the company claims they will.
