ZTE has announced the Axon 20 5G, which it says is the world's first phone to feature an under-display camera. It means no more need for notches or hole punches -- the front-facing camera simply sits as part of the 6.9-inch FHD+ OLED display. The phone, unveiled on Tuesday, will be available for preorder soon in China.
ZTE says it used a mix of five technologies to get the camera to work, including a special material using "organic and inorganic film," which improves light input for the lens; a dual-control chip and driver circuit that synchronize color and the phone's display to prevent the camera and the display from interfering with each other; and what it calls a "special matrix" for more natural pixel transitions.
