I guess ugly is in the eye of the beholder. I didn’t really notice the notch after 20 minutes on my first FaceID device. At least there is content on the left and right side of it unlike those home button iPhones with its huge bezels

Oppo Unveils Third Attempt At Under-Screen Front-Facing Camera Tech

Slightly stupid demo, on the previous prototypes the "hole" was always more visible from the sides or when the phone was being moved. A straight on photo borders on deceptive.
I think a punch hole screen looks worse then the notch on the iPhone. I have a OP 7 pro and have been waiting for another good all screen phone. OnePlus should have stuck with the pop up camera.
getting face id work with the TrueDepth camera system is quite some more than taking a selfie. even if you have a phone that seemingly can float in thin air while you have both your hands lowered
I’d LOVE having under display Touch ID on the iPhone 13 mini. It is the last chance of having a compact smartphone and I’d hate having to put my passcode each time I want to unlock my phone wearing a mask.
EDIT: ok ok, I just realized the article is about under display cameras, not fingerprint sensors. I guess I got distracted... 😅

If the competition can't do face id ala apple style, what makes anyone think that touch id under glass can be slammed in at the snap of a finger. It boggles the mind to think that hardware planning takes a few years and people don't realize it.I've never quite understood this Notch "persnicketyness". What boggles my mind is that they cannot do Touch ID under the screen yet. With mask mandates again returning, you would have thought that someone at Apple would have been on top of this problem right? Apparently not.
And how does this relate to the thread again? Oh yeah, it doesn't.

Ah yes these breakthroughs in technology never need refinements they are always 100% perfect from the get go....
Some kind of advanced bended selfie stick designed for taking selfies hands behind back? 🤔
That’s the ducking truth.
If Apple claims they didn't steal the idea they didn't. You gonna prove otherwise? Or do you think that putting a camera under glass might be an idea that almost every mobile phone maker might be toying with, as it would be a natural thing to do? Nah.
Kind of scary to think that, in the not so distant future, every screen you are looking at could potentially be a camera recording you without you even knowing.
Full blown Nineteen Eighty-Four.

These are tech demos. This isn't a marketable product yet. Apple's engineers are doing the same thing (and looking at many other options) but Apple just isn't announcing what they are doing.

Every selfie stick that costs $10 or more has a tripod and a remote.
It's pretty easy to tell the age of posters here, or at least lack of interaction with the opposite gender.
“Third attempt at refining the system?” Are you serious?
I must have missed the article mentioning Apple’s “third attempt” at making its own SOC when the iPhone 5 was announced, or Apple’s “third attempt” at FaceID when the iPhone 11 Pro was unveiled.
Saying this is their third attempt implies that the first two failed. No, this is just their third iteration they’ve announced where they are continually improving on it and will release when ready. No wonder there are so many mindless fans when the sites they get information on twist words like this.
Edge to edge display screen is without the doubt the future, whether you want to put face id under the display or touch id under the display
personally i could not care less about the cameras on my phone. i might snap a document or a reminder from time to time but i just don’t take pictures really. i’d love a flagship phone with only basic camera functionality to lower the price a smidge. but i know i’m the minority
having said all that, this sort of tech is inevitable. it’s only a matter of time before a camera under the screen is just as good as whatever is in the front of your phone right now. maybe not at taking a raw image, but rather algorithmically taking the effect of the screen out of the processed image
