I have a mobile computer aka phone with a ToF sensor built in - the Samsung S10 5G. The Live Focus mode is a bit hit and miss, but like with any piece of equipment you learn to work with it - and the results can be astounding. The quality compared to the S10+ (I got a free upgrade to the 5G from that) which doesn't have the LIDAR like sensor is quite remarkable. I believe it's the same setup as the Note 10+.

I've had a world class pro photographer comment with some disbelief on the quality of shots that are attainable from this.



The upgrade in live focus on Samsung phone from one generation to the next is scary good. I did s7 edge, s9+ And now s10+ and it moved from cool toy needing a lot of work to “almost there”.

The original on s7 had only one lens to work with so you had to wait during your shot while it took several at different focus.
