Perhaps one of the most anticipated
innovations in the smartphone industry will be the implementation of a
sub-screen camera. It’s hard not to admit that this innovation will appeal to a
large number of users, because many are simply tired of all these cutouts,
notches and holes. And the introduction of this technology is very close to
reality as the Chinese company ZTE plans to unveil the Axon 20 smartphone, the
first device with a sub-screen front camera.
Earlier, the company has already begun to
publish samples of photos taken by the front camera module in order to check
how ordinary users will react to the quality. By this action, the company has
already confirmed the presence of a smartphone that is preparing for release.
And today an unknown ZTE device with the
code number A2121 appeared on the TENAA database site. According to rumors,
it’s the Axon 20 smartphone. As always, we can see the appearance of the device
in the database. Unfortunately, the image of the front of the smartphone is too
dark. It makes it impossible to confirm the absence of any cutouts.
The Chinese certification body gives at
least some insight into the phone’s specifications. This include an
unidentified 2.4GHz processor, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 4,120mAh
battery. On the back of the smartphone, we see four cameras: 64 MP, 8 MP and 2
MP. The characteristics of the fourth module are still unknown.
Unfortunately, not much is known about the
new product from ZTE. It is worth not forgetting that this device is unlikely
to be released in “wide distribution”. Most likely, the manufacturer will
launch it only at home. But if everything goes right, then the front cameras
under the display are waiting for us faster than it seems.
In July, Visionex had confirmed that it
has already started mass-producing the under-display camera and smartphones
featuring it will be arriving soon. So, ZTE is more likely to use the same
sensor mass-produced by Visionex. Smartphone manufacturing giants such as
Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo and more are all said to be working on the
under-display camera solution. But ZTE would be the first to bring it to the
general consumers.
