Oppo allegedly exhibited a selfie camera under the screen

Brian Shen, Vice President of Oppo, published in his article on Weibo earlier in the day a video clip of what appears to be a prototype smartphone without a notch, sitting on a desk. The camera application has been launched and, despite the absence of a visible camera from the front, the screen always seems to show a live view of the ceiling of the room. Just to add credibility to the video, the protester also flew over where the camera is supposed to be hidden.

Having a non-mechanical front camera solution means that there is no physical wear, plus it's a less fragile piece to be feared. That being said, in a follow-up post, Shen admitted that this sub-screen camera technology is still in its infancy. "At this point, it's difficult for under-display cameras to achieve the same results as normal cameras, so there will inevitably be a loss of optical quality," Shen said. "But no new technology jumps to perfection right away."

We do not know when we will be able to see this technology on a mass-produced smartphone, but we assume that Oppo's main rival in China, Vivo, and sister company, could also work on a similar implementation, as reported by APEX. . The 2019 concept phone product manager is back in March. Whatever it is, we hope that Shen will talk to you again in the near future.
