Realme, which is usually a very active player in entry and mid-range smartphones, seems to have taken the first steps to use new technologies. The under-screen camera technology, which we have not seen on many phones yet, has already begun to be considered as the front camera design of the coming years. Realme, which we often see affordable phones, received a patent to use this design.
Realme receives patent for under-display camera
A photo shared on Weibo in September showed Realme’s first under-screen front camera phone, according to the sharer’s claim. The photograph was not taken seriously, as this claim could not be filled in very well. However, in the emerging patent document of Realme, we see a phone design without a notch. This new phone, which is expected to be the new step of the company, will apparently use under-screen front camera technology.

When we examine the details in the design, we can deduce that the edges will be produced from a metal material. This detail is not a detail that can be found in affordable devices. Generally, we see that plastic material is used in affordable devices and aluminum material is used in medium levels. The fact that metal will be used in this device means that it will be in the upper segment.
It is very difficult to bring such a new design to affordable phones right now. The production difficulties and costs of new designs are high at first. An example of this is that phones with a notch were expensive at one time, and now almost every phone has a notch. So we have to admit that the under-screen camera design is not a cheap technology yet. However, this may change in the coming years.
When do you think the under-screen front camera design can replace the notched design?
