Under-display selfie cameras are here, but do we really want them?

Oppo just announced its newest iteration of the under-display camera, a technology that many brands are working on right now to get it right, before we see it commercially available on mainstream smartphones. Other brands are in on it too; Xiaomi has been working on developing the under-display camera tech for a while, and ZTE’s Axon series has been implementing the same since last year.

Why under-display cameras?

Over the last decade, smartphones have gone from traditional large bezel designs to their modern form factor, with very slim bezels and a focus on larger, more immersive screens. The hunt for a completely immersive, all-screen front on a smartphone has now brought us to under-display cameras.
