Sources confirm that Samsung has given up on the idea of introducing sub-screen camera technology in the upcoming flagship Galaxy S21 line. According to the latest report, the reason for abandoning this idea was the low yield of quality products.
Samsung ditches the sub-screen camera in the Galaxy S21
South Korean media confirms previous rumors that Samsung will finally try to implement a sub-screen camera in the next foldable smartphone, which will be released under the name Galaxy Z Fold3 in the second quarter of 2021. As for the Galaxy S21, the smartphone will receive a familiar camera embedded in the screen, like the Galaxy S20.
Samsung Display, the display maker of many of Samsung’s smartphones, is testing a new version of HIAA (Hole In Active Area) technology when creating a sub-screen camera, according to the new information. Hole-in-active technology was first introduced in the Samsung Galaxy S10 line a couple of years ago.
Previously, an insider Ice Universe said that the sub-screen camera technology that Samsung Display is working on is far superior to the competition. In addition, compared to other brands, Samsung has stricter requirements for the quality of photos and videos that can be used to create sub-screen cameras in smartphones. He suggested a month ago that the subscreen camera will not appear in the Samsung Galaxy S21.
