All right the notch has been around for a long time with us, it wasn't until 2017, with the arrival of the iPhone X, when it finally released a good portion of the smartphone, iOS and Android catalog. After they fall in love, they begin to build solutions to avoid it, such as processes, screen holes, or notch.
However, the technology that is seen as the "explanatory" solution is the camera system at the bottom of the screen, a proposal already in the works where Lu Weibing, Redmi's managing director and VP of Xiaomi Group threw a pot of cold water. According to Weibing, there is still a way to go, because technology is very limited.
There are still difficulties with using this technology
As Lu Weibing publishes on the Web, users are asking more about under screen camera technology. In the case of Redmi itself, the excitement of this technology makes a lot of sense, because the Redmi K30 has a front bumper, leaving a pop-up machine that allows the K20 (Mi 9T in Europe) to have no kind of notch.
The high number of pixels per inch makes it difficult, according to Weibing, for cameras to take pictures properly. It may be necessary to reduce the PPI in the camera area
Cut account that, for now, screens have maximum pixel size per inch. Specifically, referring to Xiaomi and Redmi, Weibing tells us about 400ppi approximately, something that obviously depends on the resolution of each model. With these PPIs, the speed of light transmission is, on account, very low, which makes the process of photography difficult.
Therefore, he notes that one of the solutions would be to reduce the pixel decrease around the camera, so that light transmission can be increased and efficient using this technology. Currently, this is a far cry from current technology, and according to Weibing We are far from achieving mass production of technology.
What the camera is shown at the bottom of the screen
There was little talk (and education) about camera technology at the bottom of the screen, but enough to make a sound last year. On the side of manufacturers like Samsung, Korean media said More screen production with this technology will begin in 2020. Something, as we have already said, has never come true.

However, we have some examples of this type of cameras working. The first is in the hands of OPPO, who taught in June 2019 the kind of development that had this kind of technology. Spherical camera in the center of the phone, hidden under a screen, and able to take pictures.

On the other hand, Xiaomi is also looking to showcase its capabilities with this technology. It shows a small video in which one of its final locations is captured taking pictures with the camera located at the bottom of the screen.
