SO, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE 2 PHONES?

While, these 2 phones uses the same under display selfie camera technology. The oppo smartphone turns off the pixels around the selfie camera while tacking pictures. So the camera is shown as a notch. But in Xioami smartphone, the entire pixels on top area of the display is turned off. So no one will notice the camera taking pictures behind the screen.

WHY ALL COMPANIES ARE OBSESSED WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY?

Slowly, the mobile manufacturers are moving away from traditional huge bezel display to notch from essential phone to recently trending pop up camera to punch hole camera in display. It seems like more companies like Samsung and other mobile manufacturers are also working on this technology to achieve a bezel-less display. And don’t forget that Samsung has already portrayed a demo display last year. They are trying to place all their sensors under the display, which is expected to release at the end of 2020.

WHY IT’S A HUGE DEAL?

To put in simple words, the camera is placed under the OLED display. Which doesn’t interfere like notch, while using the phone like playing games or watching videos. The pixels around the camera is turned off, which results in light passing through the display to camera. Which helps the camera to take pictures. Keep in mind that the picture taken from these phones might not be as good as compared to other phones in the market. Because the camera has to see through the pixels of the screen unlike the glass like other phones. This can be avoided by introducing new algorithms to the camera app. Which can result in better quality images.

Already, google have achieved this on their Pixel phone for years and no other company can beat their camera quality even though they have only one camera. Anything can happen in future, lets hope one day, every device will be bezel-less.
