Perhaps even earlier
The fate of the on-screen front cameras remains in question. On the one hand, we see various prototypes and read rumors that such devices are about to be released, on the other hand, they are not yet available, and some companies directly say that the technology is raw.
Sub-screen front cameras are already on the horizon. Samsung can use such a solution in the Galaxy S21 line
Well-known insider Ice universe claims that Samsung is considering the use of such cameras in the Galaxy S21 line of smartphones, that is, at the beginning of next year. At the same time, the source adds that the Korean giant supposedly evaluate such a plan as feasible. At the same time, we recall that in the last couple of years, Samsung has been introducing most of the new solutions in mid-budget smartphones of the Galaxy A line, and only then they appear in the flagships. True, this does not apply to all new technologies.
In any case, in less than a year we can get the first or one of the first smartphones with sub-screen front cameras, and this will finally save manufacturers from having to cut out screens or, as an alternative, implement various outgoing modules.
