Why don't the best mobile phones of Samsung, Apple and Huawei hang the front camera?

Indeed, this year's flagship of Samsung, Apple and Huawei did not use lift cameras. Samsung S 10 series is a perforated screen, apple or Liu Haiping, and Huawei is a water drop screen. To be honest, these three screen styles are really not so pleasing to the eye compared with OPPO and vivo full screens, but the three companies have their own considerations without lifting the front camera. First of all, the designs of Samsung and Apple have their own styles, which are difficult to change easily. For example, Apple's previous 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch shapes took four years. Now Apple's Liu Haiping has only been used for two years, so it is impossible to change the design easily. Moreover, Apple's 3D structured light facial recognition has been developed with great efforts. Only by retaining bangs can we continue to use this face ID function.

Samsung's appearance is also designed around the curved screen. Previous generations of products have not changed much since Samsung S6. This generation of Samsung S 10 adopts perforated screen, which is a great progress. Huawei's mobile phone started late, so it has not yet formed its own style. Liu Haiping was popular last year, so Huawei Mate.

20 Pro is the shape of bangs. Drip screen is popular this year, and so is Huawei P30.

Pro is the shape of a water drop screen. This is also related to the screen supply of the upstream industry chain. Everyone uses the shape of Liu Haiping and water drop screen, and the panel purchase cost is relatively low. However, the selling point of Huawei's mobile phone is not the design. As long as the performance is good and the photos are outstanding, consumers are willing to buy them.

Secondly, the lifting camera also has its obvious shortcomings. The main reason is that the fuselage will become thicker. This year's OPPO Reno and vivo X27 are about 9mm thick and weigh more than 180g g. The flagship thickness of Samsung, Apple and Huawei is about 8mm, and the products have always been light and thin.

In addition, due to structural reasons, the lift camera will inevitably be waterproof, even if it is wet, it may be damaged. The flagships of Samsung, Apple and Huawei are the lowest IP53 waterproof and the highest IP68 waterproof. Even if the fuselage is completely immersed in water for a certain period of time, it can ensure that there is no water. The third is the patent issue. Vivo and OPPO released several lift camera phones within two years, and also registered a large number of appearance patents at home and abroad. It is very difficult to avoid these patents because there are only a few shapes of lift cameras. For example, Samsung's high-end A80 uses a lifting+rotating front camera, which looks a bit strange.

Finally, the integrated body is still the core concept of smart phone design. In particular, Apple's recent generations of products are trying to reduce the openings in the fuselage, cut off unnecessary parts, and even leave no earphone holes. The fusion of the lifting camera and the fuselage is completely opposite.

In fact, the three manufacturers are also exploring full-screen mobile phones on another road. For example, Samsung Fold and Huawei Mate X have achieved better visual effects than full-screen through foldable flexible screens with higher technical content. However, whether the folding screen mobile phone is good or not still needs the market to test.
