We were told that manufacturers were working on selfie cameras that did away with the notch, the tear drop, the punch and anything else in between but aside from a single phone from ZTE last year we have yet to see it in a commercially-available product. It’s similar to the wait we have had for our hoverboards — thanks Marty McFly.
According to OPPO though this new product may not be so far away after all. Today they have unveiled its next-generation under-screen camera (USC) technology for smartphones. Apparently, they have been able to overcome the software limitations produced by the light refraction from the glass of the display in front of it using their specific hardware and AI algorithms.
The result is a way that not only maintains the integrity and consistency of the entire display while the selfie camera is both in use and not in use but also is able to produce high quality images “with no compromise”.
OPPO’s USC solution introduces several now innovations including:
This is OPPO’s third generation of USC solutions and while the results look great at this stage it seems there is no word at this stage just when the technology will make it to consumer smartphones. We hope next year but given the shortage of everything in the world at the moment we doubt it will make it into production before the year after, 2023.
Under screen cameras are coming, just no one knows when — just like my hoverboard.
