New front camera technology from Oppo and Xiaomi. They hide it behind the screen, which now takes up the entire front side of one 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 the like functionalfeature, which uses two displays of the screen that can be switched to allow light to pass through to the camera sensor.
Although Xiaomi's original phone seems to be working, there is still no information on when the phone will debut in the market.
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 device.
