Oppo had been teasing its under-screen selfie camera technology for the past couple of weeks. It showed off a video recording where the lens was hidden under the screen and wasn’t visible when the screen was in use but activated on opening the camera app. We today saw Oppo officially unveil the under-screen camera (USC) technology and explain how it managed to make this a reality.
Remember Oppo’s VP Brian Shen expressed his concern about imaging quality on this under-screen camera prototype, well, they seem to be true. The image on the left was captured using the USC, but it looks like it was captured via a 2MP camera in 2012, so Oppo has employed haze removal and white balance algorithms to enhance the image quality.
