Huawei was the first mobile phone manufacturer to set foot in the off-screen camera technology, and some related patents were exposed before. It's just that no one knows how far it has developed in specific products. However, some new patents of Huawei's off-screen camera have been exposed recently, and this time the product form is clearly given, which also makes everyone look forward to Huawei's future mobile phone.
The Huawei patent filed this time was applied to China National Intellectual Property Administration, China by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. in May 2020, covering 7 product drafts and 2 renderings, and was published on 20021+10/2. In Huawei's patent drawing, the mobile phone screen is designed with four curved surfaces, and the front lens is hidden under the screen. Best of all, in order to maximize the full-screen display, Huawei actually added a sub-screen design to the extremely narrow border at the top of the mobile phone, so that users can see the traditional information display such as mobile phone signal, time and power through this border.
In addition, judging from the sketch of the mobile phone published by Huawei, the rear lens module of the new machine adopts a matrix four-shot scheme, which is obviously prominent from the side, so it is either equipped with a super-large bottom main camera or a periscope lens. However, Huawei did not say what model this phone is and when it will be launched.
Of course, if this technology is adopted, including the big bottom four-shot, the frame sub-screen and the off-screen camera, it will definitely be Huawei's flagship product, and it is impossible to use it on other models, so it is basically possible to lock the high-end mobile phone that will be P series or Mate series. If Lenovo is bold, Huawei will have at least P50 series mobile phones this year, so will it use these technologies?
In addition, in addition to Huawei, other manufacturers are also taking pictures of mobile phones under the layout screen. Samsung, Xiaomi and OPPO all have related patents, and ZTE has launched Axon 20. However, perhaps because ZTE's mobile phone rollover is a bit serious, major manufacturers are not eager to expose the off-screen information of their camera phones. However, for manufacturers who want to maximize the full screen of mobile phones, the off-screen camera may be the most reliable solution at present. After several years of research and development, it is time to produce results.
We expect that in addition to Huawei, some manufacturers will introduce off-screen camera phones to the market this year, not necessarily on their flagship phones, but there may be some models testing the water in the market, just like Xiaomi uses 65.438+0 billion pixels on CC series phones. However, after reading the patents and designs of many manufacturers, I still feel that the patents released by Huawei this time are the most scientific and technological. I believe that if Huawei launches such a mobile phone with an off-screen camera, it will inevitably become an explosion in the market!
