We are already in 2021 and we continue to see how in the market, we find several types of front camera on our phones. Everything indicates that the notch will be banished, but for the moment, it coexists with holes in the screen or the pop-up camera system. OPPO was the first company to launch the pop-up front camera system with the Find X, but now, we see that the firm could go one step further.
Everything indicates that the future is for manufacturers to place the front camera below the screen. However, it is something that we are not seeing yet, with the exception of a single ZTE model, which serves more as a test bed than as a real test of how refined this technology is. Meanwhile, we see an amazing OPPO design revealed by LetsGoDigital, and which has been published by WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office).
Pop-up mirror camera
In the sketches that accompany this record, we see an advanced pop-up front camera system, which can act as both a front camera and a rear camera. OPPO uses a mirror system to reflect light from various angles, thanks to a light path deflector. The possibilities in this field are very great, since for example, you could take panoramic photos in 360 degrees, just by turning 180 degrees to make this type of captures and even videos. In addition, it is possible to record photos or take videos at the same time with both the front camera and the rear camera.
Of course, this returns to offer a true all-screen design, something that all manufacturers are pursuing to improve the user experience. To carry out the activation of this camera system, OPPO plans several options, one of which includes a button on the side of the phone to activate the camera. By pressing this button, the selfie camera is activated and by pressing twice, the cameras will automatically point backwards. The system can also start automatically when the user opens the camera app.
In which mobile will it be integrated?
At this time it is difficult to predict where OPPO has pressed to integrate this system, that is, if we will be facing something more than a good idea. At the moment there are no recent clues about the inclusion of this type of camera, in the Find or Reno families that are about to come out in 2021. However, if the hidden camera technology under the screen has not just been refined, it is more than We will likely see this improved front camera style again.
