Samsung teases its first camera under screen, but it does not come to phones

Last September, ZTE unveiled the world’s first phone with an under-display camera. While the ZTE Axon 20 5G is currently the only phone with an under-display selfie camera, the technology is expected to become a bit more common by the end of this year. Samsung, which has been rumored to be working with under-display camera technology for a long time now, is also rumored to launch its first under-display camera phone this year.

Although Samsung has not yet detailed its under-display camera technology, Samsung Display today released a video on Weibo and teasing its new OLED panels with selfie cameras under display. However, Samsung Display̵

7;s new under-display technology is not intended for use in smartphones. It comes first to notebooks.

As can be seen in the video above, Samsung’s under-display camera technology will allow notebooks to have almost screenless screens with a screen-to-body ratio of 93%. The panel is also incredibly thin at just 1mm and weighs 130g. Samsung Display has not shared any more details about the technology yet, so it’s not clear if the first notebooks with Samsung’s Blade Bezel “screens will arrive later this year.

Samsung’s first phone with an under-display camera is rumored to be the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which will be a follow-up to one of the best Android phones launched last year. As the collapsible phone is only expected to be launched in the second half of the year, we may learn more about Samsung’s under-display camera technology for phones in the coming months.
