Design patents filed by Google suggest future Pixel smartphones will feature an under-display front camera, reports Patently Apple (via TechRadar).
Although the documents do not explicitly mention an under-screen camera, the accompanying images show a phone that’s all screen on the front. This implies that Google is experimenting with the idea.
ZTE has already released a smartphone with an under-display front shooter and Xiaomi and OPPO have demoed their prototypes. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, which will likely arrive in the second half of 2021, is also expected to feature the tech. Huawei has also confirmed that it plans to release a phone with an under-display camera in the future.
