After releasing the details of their upcoming AI chipset, Samsung now has a big plan in store. According to their patent, Samsung future selfie cameras might locate under the screen! Scroll down for more information!
Samsung future selfie cameras to sit under the display!
With the massive popularity of bezel-less screen, the physical smartphone buttons are slowly disappearing. Previously, we have witnessed the first smartphone (Vivo X20 Plus UD) to come out with the in-display fingerprint scanner. However, smartphones brands still need to save the space for the selfie camera. Some of them located in a specific notch like the Apple iPhone X. But what if we put them under the display?! It looks like Samsung has the answer to our question!
Recently, we came across a patent from this Korean brand. In this drawing, the Samsung patent reveals a new flagship with a fantastic near-100 percent screen-to-body ratio and first-ever under-glass selfie camera. Furthermore, the earpiece and sensors will also go under the screen, leaving more room for the full display. Before Samsung, the Xiaomi Mi MIX also sport an earpiece below the screen. However, the quality of this feature doesn’t prove to be better than the regular earpiece.
Moreover, the early patent ( referenced by Samsung, LG, Apple others brands) also suggested using a transparent OLED screen. In details, the new device can come with a high refresh rate. As a result, the smartphone can flick the screen on and off, plus allow the camera to have a look during its inactive periods. On the other hand, the Samsung patent also showcases a hole at the bottom screen. Perhaps this is the home button of the handset. However, Samsung has switched to the software buttons with the Galaxy S8 flagship line onward. We bet that this hole can be used to place a fingerprint sensor under the front panel.
Samsung future selfie cameras: which handset will sport this setup?
We can look forward to seeing the new Samsung selfie cameras in their next member of Note series, Samsung Galaxy Note 9. What do you think about Samsung’s new camera patent? Drop a comment to let us know!
