Despite the denial of Google services and the ban extending to 2021, Huawei is not stopping to innovate their smartphones. We saw the Chinese tech giant file patents for a slide-out display smartphone earlier this year. Now, the company is trying to bring the first smartphones with under-display selfie cameras.
Now, the smartphone in patent #1 (image below) shows a bezel-less display in the front. It has a waterfall design that curves the display panel on both sides of the smartphone. There is no sign of any buttons at the sides, which suggests that the company will implement slide or touch gestures for volume controls. At the back, there is a rectangular camera module with, what looks like a triple-camera setup with a flash. One of these lenses looks like the periscope lens of the P40 Pro. Image: LetsGoDigital
We have seen the first-gen under-screen selfie camera when Oppo showed it off back in 2019. Since then, companies like OnePlus and Xiaomi have been trying their hands on the tech with the aim of bringing the first smartphone with an under-display camera by the end of 2020.
