It will not be the first to offer it, but if Google complies with this leak, it will take a very important step forward to be a benchmark. The invisible camera comes into play for the Pixel family, according to the patents that LetsGoDigital has shown. The most desired technology in recent years has already been seen on previous occasions, but without the result that the great brand wants to achieve.
A race to make the best invisible camera on smartphones begins, where Xiaomi, TCL or Samsung have already made their first advances and Google does not want to be left behind. What will be a trend in 2022 and in the coming years, involves an extensive study, which is already part of many divisions of the best manufacturers.
The first step to the Google Pixel 7
The star smartphones of 2021 for Google are the Pixel 6 and of course the Google Pixel 6 Pro with its cameras as a reference. After showing that it has a lot to give to the market, even developing its own processor under the name Google Tensor, the next advance seems clear. The invisible camera is the goal for Google.
According to the revealed images of the patent, Google’s idea tries to house various sensors on the top of the smartphone. The first one that would be located on the left side would be the light sensor, which automatically adapts the brightness on the screen, while on the right side we would have those in charge of photographing or recording video. Since there are no problems to take up space, the patent shows up to 2 cameras, as for example offered by the Huawei P40 Pro, although without the desired invisibility.
The screen would be specifically developed to let in light, image and colors. It is not too clear if it will do it by dividing the pixels, which leaves a different appearance when we approach the screen or you will use another mechanism. We remember that Google does not use facial unlocking in its latest high-end and therefore there is no trace of sensors focused especially on it as if Apple does.
If it becomes a reality, the Pixel 7 could see the light of day in mid-October , releasing Android 13. Right now it seems far away, although it has several months of development ahead and surely Google is not the only one working On it. Before we could see new Galaxy Fold, which surely also improve what is offered up to the amount to make the front lenses completely invisible.
The renders developed by the web make us dream of a futuristic smartphone and there is no doubt that it is what we would like to find. Little else we will know until now about this future model, being able to wait for a second Google Pixel Tensor 2.0, cameras if possible even more improved and perhaps a worthy fast charge. This, however, can make the Pixel 7 an unattainable model for its price. Little by little Google wants to gain a foothold, but it should not forget the value for money, beyond innovation.
