New technology for the front camera from the companies Oppo and Xiaomi. They hide it behind the screen, which now occupies the entire front of a smartphone.
Just a few hours after revelation of the company Oppo with the front camera hidden behind the display of one mobile Xiaomi has released its own new technology. Xiaomi President Lin Bin gave a video on Weibo (later was also posted on Twitter) with the Xiaomi Mi 9 having the front camera completely hidden behind the phone screen.
It is not entirely clear how Xiaomi's new technology works. The The Phone Talks notes that Xiaomi submitted recently patent application that appears to refer to similar functionality, which it uses two display displays that can and do switch to allow light to pass through to the camera sensor.
Although her original phone companys Xiaomi seems to be working, there is no word yet on when the phone will make its market debut.
In March, the company posted another new technology on Weibo that related to her upcoming foldable phone, but two months later has not yet given specific details about the device.
