OPPO shows off under-display selfie camera on smartphone, but when is it coming?
Jul 16, 2025
It seems like quite a few smartphone sensors have moved underneath the display, such as the earpiece andfingerprint scanner. In-display selfie cameras might be the holy grail right now, andOppohas shown off a video demonstrating the tech on real-world hardware.
In a video posted to Twitter, the company shows the upper half of a smartphone. From here, an OPPO employee activates the selfie camera, takes a photo, and then obscures the camera with their finger.
We don’t get a good look at the picture taken by thein-display selfie camera, but this will be a key factor in determining whether OPPO is ahead of the curve. After all, what’s the point of this tech if results are much worse than a normal selfie shooter?
OPPO isn’t the only company aiming to bring in-display selfie camera tech to life, as Samsung previously confirmed its intention to do so as well. But the Korean firm reportedlysuggestedthat the tech was still roughly a year away from launching in a commercially available smartphone. If OPPO can indeed beat the Korean firm to the punch, it’ll be a major feather in its cap.
A selfie camera under the screen will allow phone manufacturers to create a full screen smartphone without the need for notches, punch holes, pop-up selfie cameras, or slider designs. Would you buy a phone with an in-display selfie camera? Let us know in the comments!
