New iPad Pro already has lidar
The Honor Play 4 Pro smartphone should be presented on June 3. The device is credited with the SoC Kirin 990 5G, a 40-megapixel camera and a 40-watt charge. The novelty may become the ideological heir to the 2017 Honor Play model, but the price is likely to be significantly higher.
In unofficial images of the Honor Play 4 Pro, we could see a dual camera, which was a bit strange for a smartphone with a flagship platform. However, today a live photo of the device appeared on the Web, which put everything in its place.
As you can see, in addition to two image sensors, the smartphone has an unusual element that is very similar to a similar element in the new iPad Pro. Most likely, this is lidar .
If the assumption is true, then the Honor Play 4 Pro will be the first smartphone on the market with a similar sensor, although it is still difficult to say why it is needed. It is possible that he was added there only because the iPad Pro has lidar and should appear in new iPhones.
Lidar can also be used to determine the distance to objects, which can help make photographs better, but so far we have not seen examples of such an implementation, so the question remains open.
