Future Google Pixel could get under-display camera
Let's Go Digital
These days we hardly can see any notchless phones, with Pixel phones going with a hole punch design in 2020. Soon Google could be making a Pixel phone with notchless design once again.
Let's Go Digital shared out a new patent information of a future Google Pixel phone. It shows the phone will include a pair of front cameras with other sensors under the screen. Meanwhile the light sensor will be placed on the left side.
For now, no one is sure whether this new technology will debut with the Pixel 7 series or not. Nevertheless, excited to see a bezel-less + notchless design of a Pixel phone.
