South Korean giant Samsung recently released an advertisement for its new wind-free air conditioners and in that ad, the company’s unannounced full-screen smartphone is showcased, running SmartThings app.
It shows that the smartphone has full-screen display without ant type of notch or punch-hole cutout for the front-facing camera setup. This could mean that the phone has an under-display camera technology, which the company has been working for a while.
Recently, renders of Samsung’s first smartphone featuring a pop-up camera setup as a part of its premium mid-range Galaxy A-lineup were leaked online. So, the phone showcased in the ad could be the upcoming Galaxy A-series device having pop-up front-facing camera.
However, it makes more sensor for the company to showcase a flagship-grade smartphone in an advertisement. Thus, there’s a possibility that the phone in question is a part of the upcoming Galaxy Note 20 series.

While the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 flagship was rumoured to feature the under-display camera technology, new reports claim that the company has ditched the plan because of issues with the supply chain with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.
So, as said, the phone could either be the upcoming Galaxy A-series device with a pop-up front-facing camera or the upcoming flagship under the Galaxy Note 20 lineup. Or there’s a possibility that the phone in question is a totally different one. Another possibility is that there’s no such device from Samsung coming anytime soon and it was just a dummy device for the advertisement.
Samsung is expected to launch its flagship Galaxy Note 20 series as well as the second-generation Galaxy Fold smartphone this summer. Both the devices could get launched together at the same event. To know for sure, we’ll have to wait for some kind of confirmation from the company.
