New Google Pixel patent unveils secret weapon against iPhone and Samsung Galaxy

Tom's Guide Awards 2023 winner:

Google has applied for a patent that could see the next Google Pixel Fold or other Pixels soon challenge one of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5's most unique features. 

The patent is for an innovative under-display camera system that could allow phones beyond the Pixel 8 series to have an edge over rival iPhone and Samsung Galaxy devices. The patent describes a dual-sensor camera placed under the display that uses light-blocking layers to improve image quality. One sensor focuses on color fidelity and the other on sharpness and details.
