Google has filed a patent that details a camera, or even multiple cameras, that can live under a smartphone’s display, according to Patently Apple.
A camera under a phone display may not sound like a big deal, but picture all of the latest smartphones. Each of them have got some sort of notch or punch hole to accommodate the front-facing camera, which then ends up impacting the size and shape of the overall display. Think the iPhone 14 Pro's Dynamic Island for instance — a relatively elegant solution to a clunky problem. For Google specifically, a camera located underscreen would mean getting rid of the Pixel 7’s camera punch hole.
