News & Reviews:   pop-up camera

Every year, we see smartphones improve in specs only. That's kind of sad, as it would be great to also have radically new features. That might not happen soon, but at least companies like Samsung are improving existing features. Case in point, the pop-up camera.

AR glasses have always been one of the developing gadgets for smartphone manufacturers and HUAWEI is one of them. Earlier on, HUAWEI launched its smart eyewear with Gentle Monster. Today, a pair of AR glasses with a pop-up camera feature is patented.

It's not the first time that a pop-up camera happened on a smartphone before, but according to @Onleaks, who is quite a reliable leakster from Twitter, Samsung may be working on one. In a collaboration with Pigtou.com, they managed to get some image renders of the unknown pop-up camera Samsung phone.

We all know by now that patents don't necessarily result in finished products. However, it's still cool to see what brands and companies are cooking up in the background. Recently, a new patent filing by Xiaomi was approved by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) and it contains designs for a smartphone with a pop-up system with multiple cameras.
