The front cameras of our smartphones have evolved faster than previously thought. From the screen with Apple-style giant notch, to the teardrop notch, through the pop-up camera and to the hole on the screen. The next step will inevitably be the camera completely below the display.
TCL smartphone with camera under the display: Check the patent online
As we know, the primacy of smartphone with front camera under the screen will go to ZTE which on September 20st will announce the Axon 5 XNUMXG, but perhaps it will not be the only one for long. In fact, the patent of a TCL smartphone with a camera under the screen has also recently been leaked.
As can be seen from the image of the TCL patent, this smartphone uses a "full screen" design, ie full screen.
The front of the phone has no openings and the bezel is nearly the same on all four sides. On the upper part of the back we find a bulge, very similar to the design of the Google Nexus 6P from a few years ago.
We imagine that TCL's approach is due to the fact that the front camera needs more space since it is located behind the display. Or they simply chose a Nexus 6P-like design to store the 4 or more cameras it might adopt.
At present, TCL has not provided any information on this patent, and in general TCL is not one of the most innovative brands in the smartphone world. So even if the hope of seeing another camera device below the display is high, this design will most likely end up in oblivion.
