ZTE plans to show the world’s phone with a selfie camera under the screen

Smartphone makers have tried to kill the notch and find a way to put selfie cameras under the phone screen for years to come, and now it looks like an unlikely candidate is finally ready to reveal the world’s first phone with this tech on September 1.

However, the first company to make this technology a reality isn’t Samsung, Huawei, or even LG, it’s ZTE, which has suffered a number of business challenges over the past two years after being officially named. as FCC security risk, being investigated for corruptionand be forced to empty all of its C suite to appease American regulators after violating trade sanctions against Iran.

However, on the new ZTE Axon 20 5G, which is set to make its official debut on September 1 in China, ZTE claims he will have created the “first 5G smartphone produced in series in the world with a camera under screen”.

The reason why an under-display camera is so important is that by eliminating the need for a visible selfie camera like the punch-hole or notch cameras found on nearly all consumer phones today, the smartphone makers could provide users with a truly uninterrupted system. main screen without having to resort to more extreme workarounds like motorized pop-up cams or 360 degree rotating cams.

Historically, the biggest hurdle when it comes to creating an under-screen camera is that the pixels on a phone’s screen tend to distort and reduce the amount of light that can reach the phone’s sensor. sub-screen camera, which has a significant impact on the image quality of the camera. .

Meanwhile, aside from its much-vaunted under-screen camera, according to recent leaks detailed by MySmartPrice.com, the Axon 20 should come with solid but not super premium components including a Snapdragon 765G processor, up to 12 GB of RAM (6 GB base), up to 256 GB of storage and a 4100 MAh battery. The Axon 20 is also assumed to present a large 6.92-inch OLED display (but with only Full HD + resolution), and four cameras on the back, including a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide sensor and two sensors of 2 MP, which probably used for depth detection and macro photos.

So even if ZTE is talking about a big game, the real proof of success will come when we can compare the kind of photos the Axon 20’s underscreen camera can produce versus notch or hole-punch cameras. traditional. VSPlease come back on September 1st where we hope to have more information.
