This could be how future Oppo phones with pop-up selfie camera may look like
BBK-owned smartphone brand Oppo has patented a new design for the pop-up selfie camera on a smartphone.
According to a report by Let’s Go Digital, Oppo had filed the patent at WIPO(World Intellectual Property Office) in March 2020. The patent highlights that Oppo may use a light path deflection mirror on its pop-up camera setup.
The report claims that the patented smartphone will come with a flat display with a large screen-to-body ratio.
“Oppo has designed an ingenious pop-up camera system with two cameras and two light path deflection mirrors – in the shape of a mirror or a prism (triangle). As long as it can reflect light, it can change the light path and is functional. With the extendable camera system you can take selfies as well as regular photo and video recordings,” explained the report.
