Recall how Chinese tech giant ZTE took the industry by storm by releasing the first under-display camera-packing phone last year?  Well, the model known as Axon 20 5G has since been released for the international market but the UD camera technology is far from being the feature that’d interest you the most on the device.

ZTE was expected to release an upgraded second-generation version of the UD camera tech onboard the Axon 30 series that was launched recently but that did not happen. The company later disclosed that a UD camera-packing Axon 30 model is coming later this year.

Tipster @iceuniverse has also shed more light on the OEMs planning to release UD camera phones this year. The tipster hinted that ZTE will be joined by the likes of Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo within the year. The source equally listed the models that the technology will be onboard and interestingly, they are flagship models. According to the source, Samsung will use it on a foldable smartphone, Xiaomi on the Mi Mix 4, and OPPO on a foldable screen as well. An earlier leak had tipped the Mi Mix 4 to feature an under-display camera among other features.

ZTE is said to bring a far more improved version of the UD camera technology. This should be the second-generation under-display camera technology that was unveiled at MWC Shanghai in February this year. According to reports, the technology will still be onboard the Axon 30. Recall that only the Axon 30 Ultra and Axon 30 Pro were unveiled. So the Axon 30 will most likely debut with an under-display camera.
