OPPO's first patent image of a mobile phone with an under-screen camera reveals a true full-screen mobile phone

Recently, two patent drawings of OPPO's new phone were circulated on the Internet.

As can be seen from the picture, the front of the phone uses the currently popular full-screen design. There are no openings on the front of the screen, and there is no lifting lens design on the top of the phone. It is very likely that OPPO has placed the camera directly under the screen. The back of the body adopts a circular camera layout, which is similar to the lens module design of the currently sold OPPO Ace2, but from the patent drawing, the size of the flash is a bit insufficient.

       There is a long volume button on the left side of the phone, and a power button on the right side. There are no other buttons on the phone. The bottom has a SIM card slot, Type-C port, speaker, and microphone.

       It is reported that the patent drawing exposed this time is a specially designed smartphone appearance design patent applied by OPPO to the State Intellectual Property Office of China at the end of 2019.

        In the current OPPO series, there is only one mobile phone that also uses a circular camera module, which is the OPPO Ace2 released in April this year, so the patent drawing exposed this time may be OPPO Ace 3.

       In June last year, OPPO exhibited a prototype equipped with under-screen camera technology at MWC, and at the OPPO Future Technology Conference in December of the same year, it demonstrated a new generation of under-screen camera technology.
