Xiaomi, OPPO working on respective in-display camera technology

The fight for a true bezel-less display may be over soon. That is, if the under display camera technology Xiaomi and OPPO are introducing will be implemented very shortly. Nothing is final and authorized yet but the two Chinese OEM are both showing off what appears to be a hidden selfie camera below the display. We don’t see any notch nor a camera hole. Oppo’s version shows slighter bezels though compared to Xiaomi’s. This isn’t the first time we’re hearing about the tech. If you may keep in mind, an LG patent showed a fullscreen phone with in display camera.

LG’s idea was exposed to us previous year but it’s only now we’re seeing a genuine, working sample. We can’t say what Xiaomi and OPPO are showing off are one and the similar but we’re not surprised these Chinese OEMs are first.

Xiaomi simply wants to provide us a sneak peek at the future and this under-display camera technology could be a leader.

Aside from OPPO, Xiaomi, and LG, we recognize Samsung is also looking into the full-screen smartphone technology. It previously started by launching phones with camera holes in front but a completely bezel-less screen is the eventual goal.

LG’s former design was thought to arrive with a slider design. That is another option but the patent said a full screen phone with under display camera.

The idea of a bezel-less phone first started when the notch idea came. The objective was to bring a bigger screen actual estate. If a selfie camera is hidden or is set in a different position, then the larger the chance of a superior display.

From notch to camera hole to pop-up or hidden cameras, the bezel-less vision is coming closer and closer to realism. Now let’s wait and see for any declaration from either Xiaomi or OPPO.
