With the release of zte ZTE Axon305G, it means that the under-screen camera showdown in 2021 is about to begin. Then Xiaomi and OPPO successively heated up their own under-screen camera phones. It seems that under-screen camera technology will become the main direction of the development trend of mobile phones, just like the perforated screen replaced the curved screen phone. Recently, patent drawings of the iPhone’s under-screen camera have been exposed on the Internet. According to the design drawings, it can be understood that the iPhone uses the soft properties of the OLED screen, and the screen display layer above the under-screen camera can be mechanically adjusted to the phone. The upper part is bent to allow the light source to pass through the open position. If there is no need for an external camera, the display layer on the screen returns to its original position, providing users with a nearly perfect full-screen phone.
Compared with the currently popular under-screen camera technology, iPhone’s patents appear to be relatively complicated, and there are also mechanical transmission systems that can easily cause reflective failures. Like many mobile phone manufacturers in the past two years, the lifting system lens that many mobile phone manufacturers are keen on can indeed provide users with a nearly perfect full-screen mobile phone. However, the lifting lens will undoubtedly encounter many problems in terms of reliability and service life. Therefore, this type of design solutions will basically be replaced by mobile phone manufacturers in 2021. Of course, although Apple has applied for a new under-screen camera technology patent, it does not mean that Apple will definitely adopt it. Just like Apple's previously applied for under-screen fingerprint patent, so far we have not seen Apple using this technology on mobile phones and tablets.
zte ZTE Axon305G is zte’s second under-screen camera phone and the world’s second under-screen camera phone. With the experience of the first-generation zte ZTE Axon205G, zte ZTE Axon305G has great features , display and photography have all made great progress. Equipped with the Snapdragon 870 processor, the main frequency of the ultra-large core CPU reaches 3.2GHz, and the comprehensive performance is quite satisfactory. The display pixel density of the display camera lens has been increased to 400ppi, which is integrated with the overall display. It can not only hide the under-screen camera well, but also improve the light transmittance. With the Smart Transparent Optimization Algorithm 2.0, the selfie screen can be The quality has been significantly improved, making the selfie imaging effect more natural.
Xiaomi MIX4 will also use under-screen camera technology. Xiaomi released under-screen camera technology as early as last year, but no new mobile phones using this technology have been released. Xiaomi MIX4 will be Xiaomi's first under-screen camera phone, which is in line with Xiaomi MIX series' pursuit of high screen ratio. The new mobile phone will be launched first with the Snapdragon processor 888plus CPU, which has improved performance and AI computing rate to meet customers' performance requirements. However, Xiaomi MIX series products have always been focused on mid-to-high-end series products. It seems that the price of Xiaomi MIX4 to be released will not be cost-effective.
In terms of mobile phone innovation, iPhone has lagged behind Android phones. This is mainly due to the fact that there are many Android phone manufacturers and they can learn from each other technically. The iPhone’s process technology is also very good, but its independent innovation is a bit lacking. For example, fast charging technology, high refresh screen selection, folding screen design and under-screen camera technology selection. Currently, the most popular model of iPhone is iPhone 12, which is the first iPhone phone to support 5G network. With total sales of more than 100 million units worldwide, it is the well-deserved sales leader. The newly upgraded OLED screen displays excellent colors, and the iPhone A14 bionic chip is enough to meet daily use and gaming needs. It is currently the most popular model of iPhone.
Prologue
Next month will usher in the release of the Apple iPhone 13 series. The appearance of the new phone is similar to the iPhone 12, the CPU has been upgraded to iPhone A15, and the performance has been improved again using the tsmcN5P process. The screen area of ??the iPhone 13 will be reduced to a certain extent. It is still unclear which model of iPhone will use under-screen camera technology in the future. However, this technology will definitely be recognized by users, including the relatively new ones currently. Folding mobile phones, these two technologies will be the development prospects of mobile phones in the next three to five years.
