A brand like Oppo it is no longer just a low-cost smartphone maker. A company at this level needs to start (as if it never did) thinking about future devices. It has already done so with it extendable smartphone and with that folding in several places, but apparently it wants to bring a device with an auxiliary screen to the market as well. This at least is what emerges from the CNIPA, which this morning presented a device with round camera, inside which a extra display. Let's go see the details.
This could be the first Oppo with rear auxiliary screen: later Xiaomi and Meizu, the Chinese brand is also thinking about it
In the far 2016 Meizu has proposed its first smartphone with a rear screen. The utility is easy to say: save on the front camera by using the rear ones. A detail does not give poco considering the importance that the selfie covers nowadays. But having said that, it seems that too Oppo want to try their hand at the company. Here's that on China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) appears a prototype in the style of Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 40 Pro. According to what emerges from the images reported on the patent, the screen would be placed in the center of the photographic module.
The photographic module consists of three cameras housed inside a crown. This crown surrounds the extra display which would help the user take selfie photos with the rear cameras. However, this is not the only utility of secondary screen. Indeed, it would also be possible check the time rather than see notifications. Of course, this is not a display that allows interaction given the dimensions, but all in all it is a very convenient solution.
As for the rest of the features of this smartphone Oppo, we do not find too many news. Type screen extreme waterfall, therefore curved at the edges and absent front camera. We have dealt with the reason for his absence poco above: with the secondary screen a selfie camera is rather useless. Within the patent we also find a model with a square rear camera.
