Smartphone manufacturers use solutions such as notches and screen holes to save space on most models they produce today. Xiaomi filed a rather unusual patent application in order to completely hide the front camera.
An application through the China National Intellectual Property Office reveals that Xiaomi has developed different solutions to hide the front camera. While a completely frameless screen view is captured in the application images. This concept is provided by rotating the top of the screen 360 degrees. Thus, the rear cameras on the device also function as front cameras.
The working logic of Xiaomi’s solution is quite similar to the ASUS ZenFone 6 model, which has a moving rear camera. As it is known, the ZenFone 6 model has a camera mechanism that can turn forward. However, the fact that the screen of the product. That is the subject of the patent, is rotatable, brings criticisms about the patent. Issues such as how the two-piece screen will look closely. The lack of a face recognition system integrated into the front camera. And how to position the sensors are the question marks of the innovation patent.
In the innovative design trend that started with the Mi MIX series, it is curiously expected whether Xiaomi will use the new patent, which has presented many products until now. The fact that this design pushing the boundaries becomes a reality seems to remain at the patent stage for now due to the above obstacles.
