1 TrueDepth Works with Other Apps, Too

Apple’s TrueDepth Camera isn’t just reserved for Face ID and Animoji, either. Other apps can use its advanced 3D tracking technology, too. And that means much more accurate facial tracking for apps that do similar things to Samsung’s AR Emoji.

In Snapchat, for example, stickers will “stick” to the face much better on an iPhone X than they will on the Galaxy S9. While Apple features much fewer customization options, its advanced technology opens the door for more refined tracking in other apps.

While the two apps differ slightly in form and function, it’s hard not to see how Animoji will be slightly “better” until Samsung’s camera tech can catch up.
