October 1, 2026 • 2 min read Samsung may not have given up on bringing better facial recognition to Galaxy phones.
Rumor claims Samsung hasn’t given up on advanced facial recognition According to @phonefuturist, Samsung is still testing technology related to Metalenz’s Polar ID.
However, Samsung allegedly won’t use the Polar ID name if the technology eventually makes it to Galaxy phones.
The tipster claims Samsung is considering names such as Facial Recognition 2.0 and Facial Recognition Pro, although nothing has been finalized.
It’s tempting to connect this to the facial recognition project, especially since Metalenz has demoed Polar ID working under an OLED display.
