Here's The World's First Smartphone With Under-Display Front Camera

We all know very well that since the smartphone screens began to grow, to expand and eliminate the display bezels, manufacturers have tried several innovations, simply to integrate the front camera into a notch, retractable cameras, sliding components and much more. Basically, the solution that seemed ideal, at least on paper, to integrate the camera under-display, which seemed quite extraordinary and impossible idea, except in different patents.

Here’s The World’s First Smartphone With Under-Display Front Camera

Since the smartphone screens began to grow, to expand and eliminate the display bezels, manufacturers have tried several innovations, simply to integrate the front camera into a notch, Pop-up cameras, sliding cameras and much more.
Basically, the solution that seemed ideal, at least on paper, to integrate the camera under the screen, which seemed quite extraordinary and impossible idea, except in different patents.

But, hold on, what if I say that this technology is real? Yes, the well-known Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo has just posted on its Twitter profile a video, in which Oppo teased the world’s first functional smartphone prototype with the front camera under the screen, an idea that, without any doubt, will become a trend of this year 2019.
Though the video is short, which is about fifteen seconds but it is enough to show the world’s first functional smartphone prototype with the front camera under the screen in action. Here’s the post that Oppo has posted in its official Twitter profile.

For those seeking the perfect, notchless smartphone screen experience – prepare to be amazed. 📲

Unfortunately, in the video we can not see any picture, but, later the person simply puts his finger on the camera simply to show and prove that on the top of the smartphone screen there is a hidden camera, which is really fascinating.
However, the fact is that it is not the first time we hear about the integrated cameras under the screen. As the well-known brand of Andy Rubin, Essential, already has a related patent for about a year and it is said that the South Korean giant Samsung is already working on the technology.

Hence, judging by the previous video, the well-known Chinese smartphone maker, Oppo seems to be the first one to have put the theory into practice and not only that even it has also shown the device in action as well.

Moreover, for now, we don’t have any more information except the video and the text that accompanies the tweet. So, what do you think about this?
