Smartphone manufacturers have experimented with different innovative display tech in a bid to entirely remove the notch and bezels from sight. The latest experimentation is Under Display Camera technology. A couple of months back, Chinese tech giant ZTE unveiled the world’s first smartphone with an Under Display camera – the Axon 20 5G.
The Axon 20 5G was recently unveiled for a price tag of $449 for the global market. At the same time, popular YouTuber Zach Nelson of the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything recently posted a video review aimed at the device’s durability.
We have now gotten a full teardown video of the Axon 20 5G from the same YouTuber. The Teardown video gives us a vivid glimpse at the internals especially the under-display camera onboard the Axon 20 5G.
Apart from being only a dismantling of the different segments of an advanced mobile phone, the Axon 20 teardown shows us how ZTE is really utilizing two screens stacked on top of each other. This includes a compact, square screen on top of the selfie cam with a low resolution and the OLED panel on top. This arrangement allows the under-display camera peer out toward the user from underneath the top layer display.
The Axon 20 5G is a first-generation gadget, however, the release is without a doubt a sign of where smartphone design is headed in the near future. Moreso, tech giants strive to protect the edge-to-edge display without settling for cut-outs and notches for things like selfie cams and fingerprint scanners.
