The quest to ban the notch of modern smartphone design has resulted in some very smart innovations, the most recent of which is now the selfie camera under-displayed on the ZTE Axon 20 5G.
The 32 megapixel camera hidden under the screen did not impress us much in our review of the device earlier this month, but it is a worthy detour for the punch or pop-up selfie camera that we saw on previous devices. Now, a new YouTuber disassembly video JerryRigEverything gives us a more detailed look at exactly how the camera under the Axon 20 display works.
In addition to being just an overview of the various components of a modern smartphone, the Axon 20 division shows us how ZTE is actually using two screens stacked on top of each other (a small, square, low-resolution one on top of the selfie camera and the top OLED panel) to allow the camera under the screen to peer towards the user beneath the top layer screen.
It is a first generation device, but it is undoubtedly a sign of where the phone’s design will go in the future, as companies intend to preserve the screen from end to end without compromising notches and cutouts for things like selfie cameras and camera readers. fingerprint.
