Since recent times, providing the best viewing experience is the primary goal of most smartphone manufacturers. For this, different approaches have been developed, such as the 'dew notch', the pop-up slider to improve the viewing experience on smartphones, the perforated screen, among others.
Oppo also comes with a new, but different approach. It could launch a new smartphone with an under-screen camera this year, reveals popular tipster Ben Geskin through his Twitter account.
Mr. Geskin also shared an image of an unknown smartphone along with the new announcement, although he did not mention any other details about the device. However, it can be seen that the next terminal may come with slim bezels and sport a similar design to devices with pop-up cameras.

Like the fingerprint sensor under the display, The company's next smartphone will feature a new camera under the phone screen.
Oppo's success with the new camera technology will open the doors to the vast majority of smartphone manufacturers. It will help them save the basic design model of the smartphone.
Samsung and some other manufacturers are also working on similar technology to hide the front cameras.. The vice president of Samsung's R&D department stated that "technology can advance to the point where the camera hole is invisible, without affecting the function of the camera in any way."
Few patents related to the cameras below have appeared in the trademark registration offices in some countries, but it is a good indication that they exist.
There are only a few months left before the launch of the new hardware from the Chinese manufacturer, which would be later this year.
