Huawei Mate 90 Rumored to Add Under-Screen 3D Face Unlock in 2026

Summary

  • Huawei's 2026 Mate 90 series is rumored to bring an in-display camera paired with under-screen 3D facial recognition, with leaks pointing to the higher-end variants first.
  • 3D ToF-based face unlock would mark a step beyond standard facial biometrics by mapping facial details more securely while removing visible notches or punch-hole cutouts.
  • Huawei and Apple are the main flagship brands offering 3D facial recognition today, and earlier reports suggested Huawei could debut an under-display version before Apple.
  • Mate 80 had been expected to introduce the technology but launched with a conventional triple punch-hole design, leaving Mate 90 as the latest rumored target.
  • Huawei has not confirmed the feature, though the report says the company has been developing the under-screen 3D solution for several years.
