Yes,  you will do new biometrics as the new photo is the one that will be on your naturalization certificate 

Before u provided a photo / this one is done at USCIS local office 

they automatically check fingerprints for this to verify ID 

Bio's are done rather quickly after filing N400 (ours was within 2 weeks)

interview is several months later

this may be waived for you since you have already completed it for your GC.

It was waived. Hopefully, the one on file will be re-used.

I've seen a lot of current N400 filers who had it waived. Might depend on how long it has been since the last time biometrics were done ( but that's just a guess ).

Many who recently submitted biometrics for other applications get them reused. At the same time, some get randomly selected just like passengers going through security at an airport.

At least two of them hadn't had biometrics for ROC. Last time AOS about 4 years ago.
