We are on the verge of a new change in the industry that we are looking forward to seeing. We refer to the near future of the front cameras of our mobiles, which are going through a transition period with the “notch”, the holes and other inventions, with the aim of reaching a real all-screen design. Even pop-up cameras are transitional inventions , as manufacturers manage to integrate sensors invisible under the screen. TCL has been the next company to make a move.
It is not surprising that TCL is at the forefront of screen technology, which will allow mobiles to hide a selfie sensor behind it. Not in vain we are facing one of the main players in the world in the manufacture of electronic panels. Now and thanks to the LetsGoDigital medium, we have been able to see how TCL conceives what could become its first mobile with a camera under the screen.
TCL’s mobile with hidden camera
It has been a TCL patent, filed with the CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) that reveals that TCL has been working on the design of its own smartphone with an under-screen camera. In the designs that accompany this record, you can see a terminal with rounded corners, but without a notch, notch, or pop-up camera . In the description of the patent TCL indicates that it is a mobile phone with a camera under the screen.
This means that the user will be able to enjoy the entire screen without hindrance, and that it must be transparent enough so that the sensor can capture enough light when it is necessary to use it. The design also shows a kind of bulge at the rear to house the cameras, although there is no detail of them. The rest of the design is very generic, with the power and volume buttons on the left side and a USB-C port on the bottom.
A technology ready to go
We are facing a technology pursued in a frantic race by the main manufacturers in the market. Recall that ZTE has claimed to be the first company to show a terminal of these characteristics, the ZTE Axon 20 5G, which will presumably be presented next September. OPPO and Xiaomi have officially shown their interest in launching devices with a hidden front camera soon, although they have also expressed the difficulty of carrying it out with guarantees.
