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.

After comparing old sensors from an older Pixel with a top bezel vs new sensors.

I prefer more sensors/peripherals that are not under the screen.

I think it’s a tech that will still need a few more generations to mature, but I don’t mind a worse quality selfie camera since I rarely use it. I personally would enjoy the more screen real estate, but tbh I currently see nothing wrong with hole punches. If anything, I think the Pixel 5 had the best hole punch location off to the corner.

I personally prefer the (extremely ugly) iPhone notch with better sensors than under the screen.

My preference over a notch is still a thin bezel like in the Pixel 3.

I prefer this over aesthetics. Especially after putting a pretty phone on a case. (The case already takes away all the aesthetics).

I was never touching the brightness settings in the older nexus/pixels and I really miss that. They were much better catching and distinguishing different low light levels.
