Front cameras are part of every smartphone next to the display. A smartphone without a front camera would hardly sell today. Since the front camera takes up space at the same time, solutions are sought to accommodate it as discreetly as possible. Oppo and Xiaomi now present a possible solution.
The front camera has been considered a necessary disturbance factor since the trend towards larger and larger displays has become more and more popular. It takes up a lot of space that could be used much better. Inventive smartphone manufacturers have come up with the so-called Notch and extendable cameras to solve this problem. Oppo and Xiaomi now go one step further and make the front camera disappear under the display.
Oppo first presented a prototype of such a smartphone. Xiaomi followed shortly afterwards. The major advantage of these smartphones is that there is no need to place a camera lens anywhere on the front. This means that even more space can be used for the display.
For those...
