Oppo has been developing under-display cameras since late 2019, but is yet to release an actual smartphone, available for purchase by consumers.
The company has just been granted a patent
from WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organisation) for a device with a UD
camera and a small screen on the back, next to the main cam setup - whether it
is a part of the Find X4 series or not, we’re yet to learn.
The patent has been approved by CNIPA
(Chinese National Intellectual Property Association), but just now it is
approved for global use. Acquired by LetsGoDigital, it also reveals the screen
is curved from all four sides, and the rear camera island is square with four
shooters inside, although the amount of cameras is not part of the patent, it
is just an illustration.
The second display is likely there to help
with selfies and display notifications. Having a screen next to the cameras
idates back to the Meizu 7 Pro series and was recently adopted by the Mi 11
Ultra, alowing them to capture selfies with the main camera.
