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

[Michael Scrip]

If they have such good image processing that they can fix a picture that was shot through the tiny spaces between the OLED pixels in a screen...

Imagine what they can do to a picture that was shot through a lens that didn't have a bunch of crap in front of it?

Let's get a fingerprint scanner on iPhone 13 first and go from there...

I can see it shrinking or getting flatter but the notch is now a part of the iPhone branding. Will they get rid of its recognisable silhouette to make it look like just another Android phone?

 

[hotstreaks]

for the iphone, i would have been fine with an ipad pro style all-around bezel

 

[Moonlight]

I for one, would like a bigger notch. One that I can put a cup holder in so I can drink a soda while texting.

It takes a while (obviously) for technology to catch up with what people want.

And Apple take longer than that.

It would be nice to see Apple surprise everyone when the 13 pro drops with a full screen display with no notch, punch holes, or anything else, just all screen. Being years behind bargain Android phones is getting old, Apple has the money and the talent, let’s be first for once again. A 20x optical zoom/lens whatever would also be nice.

Also M3X, 16GB RAM (32GB on Pro), base storage 1TB, free Air Pods, and a full set of international chargers.

I expect all that and a price drop. /s

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.

I wasn't entirely serious with the idea of bizarre bended selfie stick, but neither was you I assume...

 

[MacBH928]

I really do not understand what is the fascination with an all screen device, so much so they are willing to put a punch-hole or a notch IN the screen and rather not have a perfectly shaped screen with a small bezel at top or bottom.

That's what I noticed as well, it's very odd for a selfie photo to be taken in such a POV (with someone holding the phone in front of her and taking a selfie pic)

Probably a stand holding the phone perfectly still.

Probably a stand holding the phone perfectly still.

Why though? The woman could've just taken a normal selfie... unless the camera doesn't work that great with a regular (slightly shaky) phone, so it needs to be perfectly still

 

[IllinoisCorn]

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.

I should have added an "/s" just to be clear. Joke was over your head or perhaps just a bad joke on my part!

Apple can not afford mediocre while some "me first" companies can. I am perfectly fine with Apple waiting for tech to mature. "Me first" is not what Apple aims.

It's important to remember that Tim Cook is not a visionary. He's a business man. He focuses on money. How can we take the same old phones, use that material, and make new phones that people will buy with limited resource investment. Now Steve Jobs and Ivey were visionary. How do we take this idea and turn it into something real. That's what I do not like about Apple today. They will always be 2-3 steps behind. But people will pay for the product knowing this because it is Apple.

people want what it should be
Dont release the tech that is not ready and take money for it if its not ready for the market
But these days, the users are the beta testers...back in the 80, the beta testers were payed to test; these days the beta testers are paying you to test your tech...180 degree turn

Agreed, this would be great if it stopped. First day launch bug riddled OS’s, games have first day patches, weekly hot fixes, etc…
Before this wasn’t an option, if Nintendo wanted to release a game for their first NES it had to work period. And it mostly did, done with archaic tools and libraries by today’s standards… squeezing any extra drop of performance available via cryptic assembly language at times.

If the hardware itself somehow was lacking it wouldn’t survive long term period.

Granted, today’s tech both hardware and software are orders of magnitude more complex but so are the tools, QA procedures, available and accesible knowledge, etc. What gives? Why someone has to pay over $2000 for a foldable screen phone to then see it peel away at the bend? That has had to be known with whatever stress tests it was subjected to.
