This is how Xiaomi's under-screen camera works

The mobile notch life is short-lived. Xiaomi and Oppo, the two large budget-friendly mobile manufacturers are already experimenting with placing cameras beneath the transparent mobile screen.

Wang Xiang, Xiaomi’s senior vice president tweeted four slides that explained the technology in action. The front camera is covered with a “special-low-reflective glass with high transmittance” display, that becomes transparent when the camera is switched on, allowing light to enter in.

This transparent display system allows for a larger sensor, which captures better resolutions pictures compared to the pinhole cameras most phones have today.

While the tech still needs to be perfected, it wouldn’t be long before we has a fully functioning option of having the camera underneath the glass; making for a more solid phone compared to the latest OnePlus 7 pro’s pop-up camera.
