Google aiming to replace notch with under-display camera in Pixel phones - Lemmy.world

A recent patent application [https://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/description?CC=EP&NR=4218225A1&KC=A1&FT=D&ND=&date=20230802&DB=&locale=en_EP#] is suggesting that Google is going to replace the notch by an under-display front-facing camera in future Pixel phones.

New features are going to get weird and pointless as smartphone sales continue to drop.

To be honest, if the camera was positioned in the average place where a person’s eyes would be in a video call, then we’d finally have eye-to-eye conversations.

But as usual, I want to be able to tell where my camera is, so that I can put some black tape on it.

People usually end up looking at their own preview anyway, instead of whomever they are calling

I started disabling my own view during zoom meetings because I found myself always looking at myself lol

Don’t they already have a solution for that? Not sure about Android but I remember FaceTime having an option to make it look like you’re looking into the camera instead of down to the center.
