Oppo shows off working ‘under-display’ camera

Engadget reports that the video was first posted to Weibo by Oppo VP Brian Shen. ”At this stage, it’s difficult for under-display cameras to match the same results as normal cameras, What you’re looking at could be the world’s first under-display camera. The video was posted to Oppo’s official Twitter account without much detail. What we can see, though, is a working front-facing camera that doesn’t need a notch, tear drop, hole punch, or pop-up sliding mechanism to leave that edge-to-edge display uninterrupted.

For those seeking the perfect, notchless smartphone screen experience – prepare to be amazed. 📲

In May, Ben Geskin first suggested that Oppo would show a smartphone with under-display camera. That prediction just came true.
there’s bound to be some loss in optical quality,” wrote Shen. “But, no new technology jumps to perfection right away.”

Oppo has made a name for itself with innovations like super-fast VOOC charging and periscope zoom lenses that eventually made their way into shipping products. There’s no telling when we’ll see the first smartphone with one of these invisible under-display cameras. But now that they exist, how long could it be?
