ZTE is poised to pioneer a technology that has been buzzing around a lot and, to this day, has not been introduced in its final form. This is the one with the selfie camera integrated under the screen, a headache that has put the engineers of companies such as Honor, OnePlus, Xiaomi and others to the test, as it has presented very marked deficiencies in its development.
This technology, until not long ago, was reported by sources close to several of the aforementioned firms as a failure, as some of the many problems of its implementation were poor final image quality and distorted brightness and color nuances in the area of the screen where the camera is placed ... The good thing is that it seems that ZTE has managed to solve these problems, thus suggesting that It will be the first to launch a mobile with said selfie camera below the screen, and very soon.
ZTE will be the first to bring us a mobile with a camera under the screen
The president of the Chinese firm, Ni Fei, through his Weibo account, made a publication with the on-screen camera of the ZTE A20 5G. It states that the brand is set to announce its first under-display camera phone soon.
Ni Fei reveals that the world's first smartphone with an under-display camera will be from ZTE
The top executive did not provide any image of the device; It also did not reveal great details about it and its release date, so we remain very curious about such innovation. The good thing is that the name of it was revealed, which is why we know that The next and first flagship to debut with such technology will be the A20 5G, which is already in Fei's hands and seems to be up and running and eager to hit the market sooner rather than later
A list was recently spotted in the China State Radio Regulations (SRRC) for the alleged ZTE A20 5G, which reveals its band support and the model number 'ZTE A2121'. This indicates that it is already certified by this regulator, and that it could already be certified with others.
We are waiting for platforms such as TENAA or 3C to offer us more details of their characteristics and technical specifications before this smartphone is announced and / or launched by the manufacturer this year, since both certifiers usually filter the qualities of the next Chinese mobiles before they see light.
On the other hand, when it comes to investing in the on-screen selfie camera, Visionox is the firm in charge of developing ZTE's “invisible selfie camera” technology. It claims to have solved the aforementioned issues with a combination of new display hardware and software algorithms, which is responsible for improving viewing angles and reducing glare. However, we have to wait and see how good - or not - the results achieved are.
Pop-up notches and modules for selfie cameras will be out of use soon
In June of last year, Honor announced that this advance had a lot of work to do before it appears on some of the company's mobile phones. However, he considered that it will be successful and it would be possible that in the near future it would be boasted by some of the brand's mobile phones, but until now we have not received news about the company and its work, which tells us that could continue to fail.
A leaked information from Xiaomi A little over a year ago, he revealed to us that the camera under the screen could be visible and invisible when wanted, something quite peculiar that was explained without great details and left us with many doubts about how this would really work.
It will be interesting to know how smartphone makers will embrace this innovation shortly, and how "invisible on-screen selfie cameras" will perform. The expectations we put on the table are high; we do not expect little.
