The future of smartphones is foldable devices, and while efforts have been made to make the hinge more svelte so that the flexible display has a less obvious wrinkle, under-display (UD) cameras have not made much progress. Samsung accomplished this with the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Fold4, but the images produced by the UD camera are, at best, below average.
ZTE is the only company that has improved on UD cameras, and its most recent model is basically on par with selfie cameras that are inserted into a punch-hole. It’s no secret that Huawei hopes to improve the Mate X4 by adding a UD camera to its upcoming foldable. A revolutionary flexible OLED display with a UD camera is being developed by Huawei in collaboration with ZTE, BOE, and other companies, according to recent reports.
The Q8 flexible OLED panel, which houses the new flexible display, is believed to contain an advanced under-display camera that makes use of ZTE’s expertise in the area. This innovative display has been presented by BOE, and it looks that ZTE was able to improve it further such that the camera is more discrete while not in use. The panel in issue uses 1440 Hz PWM dimming and has a resolution of 2480 x 1116.
When will a manufacturing version of the new bendable OLED appear? According to Digital Chat Station, this revolutionary OLED display will make its debut on the Mate X4 thanks to a collaboration between Huawei, ZTE, and BOE.
