| Oppo announces the next generation of the lower camera |
Announcing the latest version of the bottom camera technology, Oppo claimed that it will allow the selfie camera to be placed under the screen without compromising the integrity of the screen, while promising to take the full screen experience to a new level.
Unlike previous methods, these methods reduce the pixel density of the part of the screen that covers the camera to allow more light to pass through. The Chinese company uses smaller pixels to maintain a density of 400 pixels per inch, just like other OLED displays.
To solve the technical problems of the first generation of sub-screen camera, the company made several changes to the chassis design and developed advanced artificial intelligence algorithms.
The company's innovative pixel architecture allows the company to reduce the size of each pixel without reducing the number of pixels.
The company is also using transparent materials to make screen wires that are said to be 50% thinner than traditional wires and could offer a visual experience similar to the best Android phones.
According to the company, users should find that in daily use there is almost no visible difference between the camera area under the screen and the rest of the screen, creating a more immersive viewing experience.
The company showed an image of a prototype phone running an e-reader app, which is pretty much the worst-case scenario for previous screen cameras due to the white background and plain text.
I also exhibited a sample in well-lit conditions. The results appear to be much better than those of ZTE's first sub-screen camera released via ZTE's Axon 20 5G in September last year.
OPPO expands the camera at the bottom of the screen
Although this technology looks promising. But it has several major problems. Including poor image quality and inconsistent display quality in the area above the camera at the bottom of the screen.
However, ZTE has an advantage over OPPO in terms of actual mobile phone sales. The latest mobile phone, the Axon 30, should improve technology as well.
ZTE claims that the camera portion of the screen has the same density of 400 ppi. In addition to better camera quality than the Axon 20.
Unlike the current solution, the latter uses a single circle of pixels to provide 2 pixels. OPPO's solution is to use each pixel circle to power a single pixel.
Combined with the company's algorithm compensation technology, this technology guarantees only 2% difference in color and brightness.
Plus a more immersive experience. The company claims that pixel grouping and optimization algorithms can also help extend the life of the screen by 50%.
Oppo has long been committed to the development of lower-end cameras. It gave its world first demo at MWC Shanghai in 2019. But at some point it has to be incorporated into real commercial devices.
