Xiaomi patents phone design with under-display rotating camera

Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi has patented a smartphone design with an under-screen flip camera that can serve the dual purpose of the primary camera and a selfie camera.

The flip technology to be used in the phone’s camera setup will enable the camera to rotate 180 degrees and serve as both a selfie cam and a rear-facing camera.

Xiaomi continues to pursue active research and development within the smartphone segment of the tech industry, Gizmo China reported on Tuesday.

The company recently displayed a concept phone featuring a curved display and an under-display camera.

Xiaomi is not the only company working on innovative curved displays and under-screen camera technology.
