New ZTE Axon 20 5G: the first mobile with a camera under the screen

The ZTE Axon 20 5G has been officially presented and becomes the first mobile on the market to have an under-screen camera.

A dual screen: the secret of the ZTE Axon 20 5G

As is already known, given that many brands had this problem during their tests, placing the camera under the screen reduces the quality of photos and videos obtained with this sensor. For brands, it’s a challenge to realize that despite having this sensor under the panel, the photos aren’t worse.

In the JerryRigEverything video you can see the system used in this ZTE Axon 20 5G. There is a dual screen, so that the front camera is not hidden behind the main screen of the phone, but is hidden behind a small independent square screen. This screen has a lower resolution than the rest of the panel.

This system allows control the shutdown of this secondary screen, allowing light to pass through to the sensor when in use. In addition, a lower resolution is mounted, with bigger pixels and a different tint, which makes it different from the main screen of this phone. Although the photos that are taken with this front camera are not perfect, it allows for better quality than if you did not have this system.

This phone becomes the first on the market to have the camera under the screen, also using a dual screen. Although ZTE is not the only one betting on this system, as the Samsung patent showed yesterday, we will surely see more models with this type of system.
