Samsung is developing a new under-screen camera solution for Apple
According to TheElec, Samsung shows that it is currently developing new under-screen camera technology for Apple. This technology can hide the Face ID part under the screen panel of the next-generation iPhone. Samsung Display’s technology is expected to be applied first to Samsung Electronics’ foldable phones next year. Of course, these foldable smartphones should be the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4. After these devices, the flagship Pro and Pro Max categories of the iPhone 15 series.
Apple plans to use a punch-hole screen and an under-screen Face ID design on the iPhone 15 Pro model. As we all know, Apple currently installs various sensors in the “notch” at the top of the iPhone. These include the TrueDepth camera for Face ID. The new under-screen Face ID can hide the sensor when the owner is not using it. It will only be observable when the user needs it to achieve better visual effects.
