There are some Chinese devices where the camera is pretty much invisible. It doesn’t look like Samsung’s version where you can clearly see the pixels.

That being said, they absolutely destroy camera quality - so either Google is betting on AI to fake face details, or they assume people will use the back cameras more often.
