Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 to have the highest-resolution under-display camera yet

Reports suggest that we will be seeing multiple smartphones with under-display selfie cameras in the second half of this year. Brands like Xiaomi, ZTE, Vivo, and Samsung are all rumored to showcase their under-display selfie camera tech. Here, Samsung's solution sounds most exciting, as reports suggest that it will have the highest resolution of any in-display camera.

Separate reports from IT Home and Ice Universe point to the same thing - Samsung's under-display selfie camera will be of the highest resolution solution to date. Last year, ZTE launched Axon 20 5G, which is the first and only commercial smartphone with an in-display camera yet. The company dropped the tech in its subsequent releases, so it's safe to conclude it was not as effective as hoped. Apparently, ZTE adopted Visionox's in-display camera tech on the Axon 20 5G. And the images taken from the camera were poor, given the resolution was low. It has been reported that Samsung's implementation will have two screens. The small portion of the screen above the camera will have different pixel arrangements to allow light penetration. The main talking point will be its transmittance, which according to , will be as high as 40%. It will reduce the blurring effect, thus improving the clarity of the images. However, the modified portion will still be different from the rest of the screen. It will be interesting to see how Samsung addresses the issues.
