Oppo granted patent for smartphone with a flippable selfie camera: Report

Oppo has been granted a patent for a rotating selfie camera design by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). According to the patent filing, first spotted by 91Mobiles, the device will be featuring an edge-to-edge bezel-less display with a dual camera setup at the back and a single selfie camera that can flip up.

The device will sport the selfie camera in a semi-circular motorised flip camera, similar to the Asus Zenfone 6’s implementation of the flip camera. In the image, we can see the flip mechanism consisting three holes a big one and two smaller ones. It can be assumed these are for the selfie camera, flash and other sensors.
