And now it is looking like Oppo and Xiaomi is using the same technology to implement a selfie camera under the display. However, the camera sensor used for the Fingerprint scanner is very basic. So, smartphone brands will use a higher resolution camera sensor. It is worth mentioning here that the Smartphone must have an AMOLED Display to implement any optical lens under the display. It won’t work with the LCD or LED panel. Which one do you like the most, Oppo Under-Display Selfie Camera or Xiaomi Under-Display Selfie Camera?
