- The first smartphone with an under-display selfie camera has already launched, but it’s not an iPhone or high-end Android handset that you can buy right now.
- A leaker says that both Apple and Samsung are working on under-screen camera phone technology, and he even suggested that next year’s iPhone might feature this eagerly awaited display innovation.
- It’s too early to say whether the iPhone 13 and Galaxy S21 will actually get under-display cameras.
The perfect smartphone design is officially here, but you can’t really have it. And there’s no telling whether the compromise is worth it. I’m talking about all-screen phones with under-display cameras, and specifically of the new ZTE Axon 20 5G that launched recently. The phone was unveiled only a few days ago, and it’s the first commercially available handset with a selfie camera placed beneath a functioning area of the display. But there’s no telling when the handset will be available outside of China. Also, there’s no telling if the selfie camera can deliver the performance as a high-quality camera like the ones Apple and Samsung use. The first under-screen camera prototypes were unveiled by Oppo and Xiaomi last year, two other popular smartphone makers from China. The main problem with these devices is selfie camera quality.
Every other company in the industry is working out the kinks with the new display technology, including big players like Apple and Samsung. There’s no huge surprise there. Apple has been working on the perfect iPhone design for years, and the notch represents the last remaining compromise. Samsung has a similar compromise to iron out with the hole-punch camera at the top of its screens. And it so happens that Samsung Display is a major supplier of OLED screens for both the iPhone and flagship Galaxy S and Note handsets. With all that in mind, it’s no surprise to see a long-time Samsung leaker tweet that the first iPhones and Galaxy S phones with under-screen cameras might come as early as next year.
