Major smartphone makers have been working on under-screen camera technology for a while. And though Xiaomi has been one of the pioneers announcing its research and development achievements, it is not the first company to launch such a smartphone. As you know, the ZTE Axon 20 5G was announced. And it is the world’s first smartphone sporting a true full-screen and using this technology. As for Xiaomi, it will bring its own model only next year. However, we are not naïve to think Xiaomi and ZTE are the only smartphone makers to bring this technology to large masses. The rest of the main players are working on it as well. In this regard, Samsung, which is the world’s number one phone maker is developing its own off-screen camera technology. But because of time issues, the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 won’t use this technology.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 (or S30) is expected to sport Qualcomm’s latest generation of Snapdragon flagship platform – the Snapdragon 875. The earliest date it may arrive in the end of this year. But we should also remind you that Samsung usually announces its new flagship models in the first months of every year.
