The under-screen camera will be the prevailing trend on smartphones in the coming months. Xiaomi is expected to launch at least three models with this solution by the end of the year, the details.
The rumors about smartphones with an under-screen camera are intensifying. ZTE Axon 20 has opened the dances last year, but the first smartphone with a certainly futuristic solution has shown that the time was not yet fully ripe: spectacular idea, of course, but the end result to be reviewed with selfies that have not convinced for overall quality.
Development in the technological landscape, however, proceeds at great strides, and in the last period the rumors about the next Android smartphones that could adopt a similar solution have intensified, reflecting the fact that several manufacturers in recent months have been working hard behind the scenes to refine the performance of the cameras under the screen. Among the manufacturers that could soon rely on such a solution is Xiaomi, which, according to ITHome, has no less than three smartphones with under-screen cameras in the pipeline: Xiaomi CC 11, Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 and Mi Mix Fold 2.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 with under-screen camera
Of the three, Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is perhaps the ideal solution for our market. Xiaomi's CC series in fact is usually destined for the domestic market, Mi Mix Fold 2 like all foldables still has narrow market shares, probably also due to above average prices, while Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 could represent the ideal compromise between cutting edge and cost.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has been talked about for some time, and it seems that Xiaomi's smartphone will use a Full HD+ display provided by Huaxing Optoelectronics in which a camera for selfies will be integrated. The final effect, it is said, will be stunning: over the years, Xiaomi's Mi Mix series has stood out for its futuristic design, and the product that will make a range that hasn't been updated since 2018 come back into vogue will certainly not be outdone.
In fact, if Xiaomi really were to place a camera under the screen of Mi Mix 4 the scenic effect will be assured: it is said that the bezels around the display will be reduced to the minimum and equal on all four sides. Another focal point will be the recharge, wired up to 120 watts and wireless with power between 70 and 80 watts, but it's still early to put your hand on the fire on the numbers that would be almost unbelievable in a product intended for mass consumption.
Also it is said that Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 would arrive with MIUI 13, prediction compatible with what should be the period of debut on the market: according to the latest rumors, the spectacular smartphone from Xiaomi would arrive in the third quarter of 2021, in time for Christmas shopping.
Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 and CC 11 by the end of the year
On the account of the remaining Xiaomi smartphones that are expected to arrive within a short time with the front camera under the screen, Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 and Xiaomi CC 11, few details are known.
Nonetheless, it is widely believed that they will not be able to give up some features such as 90 or 120 Hz display refresh rate for the two screens of Mi Mix Fold 2 and, indeed, the camera integrated into the panel to increase the scenic effect. The Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 and CC 11 are expected to be unveiled between the last quarter of the year and the first quarter of 2022.
