For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

I’m sad that popup front cameras didn’t catch on. I only remember 2 or 3 phones that had them. For me it’s the perfect compromise - this way you can make an end to end screen without the need for a notch, and since I very rarely use the front camera, I wouldn’t be too concerned about the durability of the popup mechanism. The only real downside I see is that it complicates waterproofing.
I think the camera will eventually be hidden behind the screen.
I have no clue what technology will enable that but I bet it’s coming.
I mean the latest crop of phones aren’t that far off, we’ve got fingerprint sensors behind screens already and the front facing camera on my Pixel 7 is a pinhole at the top of the screen less than a centimetre across—which IMO just blends in.
The Samsung galaxy Z fold 4 or 5 (?) already have under display camera
Yup fold 4, I have one and don’t recommend it. Was looking for a phone to replace my LG thinq 8 Duo screen, but the fold is a downgrade for me.
That one is really, really bad though.
The one on the Mix 4 on the other hand was pretty great, but the camera quality suffered.
The tech is already here! BlackShark 5 Pro has it in pretty sure.
It’s also more movable parts.
So… Sooo breakable, and that massively complicates waterproofing it’s moving parts that wires have to connect to and move.
RIP my One Plus 7 Pro. Best phone ever.
