The Chinese smartphone brand Oppo is all set to release a smartphone with a first-of-its-kind on-screen selfie camera. Oppo through their Twitter account posted a teaser video that is revealing a notch-less display which is sitting on top of a desk. This smartphone seems like a prototype since its design speaks of a rather diverting frame.
— OPPO (@oppo) June 24, 2019 The promo video shows a full-screen display without any sensor – apart from the earpiece which is mandatory, of course. And when the individual opens a camera app with a selfie mode, it indicates a view of the ceiling of the room. Hence, it’s confirmed that there is a selfie snapper under the screen. The user in the video moves his fingers over a place where a front-camera could be, to increase the credibility of the technology.
If that video turns out to be true, Oppo will be the first smartphone brand to launch a handset with an on-screen selfie camera. The VP of Oppo Mr. Brian Shen took to Weibo to admit that this kind of technology is still in its early days. Brian Shen further added that, Again, be mindful that this is the first take on such kind of technology – but it’ll take some time before we see such smartphones with an under-glass camera sensor. We are hopeful to see more details regarding this smartphone near in the future.
