Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 rumored to get a sub-screen front camera
In the past few years, smartphone manufacturers have been working to increase the screen-to-face ratio of devices. Phones are getting increasingly narrower bezels around displays, and the latest trend is trying to hide the front camera underneath the matrix. ZTE has already released the Axon 20 smartphone with a sub-screen selfie module. According to new rumors, the front camera of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will also be hidden under the display.
The source of information was ETNews. According to him, in the third quarter of 2021 Samsung will introduce a new foldable smartphone, the front camera of which will be hidden under the display. True, Samsung will have to solve the problem of poor quality of images obtained from the sub-screen camera. It is reported that this will use a special display design, thanks to which the distance between the pixels located above the lens can be increased, allowing the sensor to capture more light.
According to 9to5Google, the use of such a sensor in a foldable smartphone is not justified enough, since it is always possible to take a picture with the main camera using the external display as a viewfinder. However, foldable devices have so far been somewhat experimental for Samsung. It is likely that after the new technology has been tested and rolled out on the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Samsung will roll out its Galaxy S 2022 smartphones.
