After being among the first smartphone brands last year to show off a phone design that incorporates a selfie camera underneath the display, obviating the need for a notch or hole-punch camera lens, Xiaomi is back with an approved patent for such a phone design. This time, one that may also be far enough along to join the ranks of smartphones expected to be released this year with cameras underneath the screen.
Almost a year to the day since Xiaomi applied for a design patent for this smartphone with an in-screen camera, the Chinese phone brand was approved on April 24 for the design patent the company filed with the China Intellectual Property Administration. And the patent documentation points a way forward for this technology that’s previously been not yet good enough to bring in enough light through the display to keep the resulting photos from looking overly dark.
