Indications emerged yesterday that hinted that it will announce the in-display camera tech at the MWC is China, and now, the company has again revealed that the OPPO Smartphone with the In-display scanner will launch on the 26 June in China. Although we might not see a market-ready one, but rather a prototype or a production device equipped with the breakthrough technology.
The phone maker who has been at the forefront of many innovative techs shared a video teaser on Weibo earlier today showcasing its front camera tech over the years – ranging from the OPPO N rotational camera, the so-called waterdrop notch on several of its devices, the pop-up camera setup on the Oppo Find X and now the shark-fin setup on the Oppo Reno.

Do note that you might not be able to buy any OPPO phone with the under-display camera just yet, as the firm admitted the technology will take much more time to reach commercial availability. As per OPPO VP Shen Yiren, the complexity of the under-screen camera will make it very hard to mass produce by the end of this year.
