Of course, under-display camera technology isn't exactly new. We've already seen reports from last year of smartphone manufacturers like Huawei, OPPO, and Xiaomi are working on the technology. However, more recent Huawei P40 renders show the front cameras under a pill-shaped cutout, while the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha has been delayed indefinitely and technically doesn't have any front cameras.
IceUniverse is a reputable leakster, but he didn't link a source this time so you might want to take the rumour with a pinch of salt. With that said, how big of a deal is not having a notch or hole on the front to you? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news.
