A Xiaomi smartphone with a camera behind the display was shown in a render. It may look like Mi Mix 4 or Mi 12

The resource, which regularly publishes renders of devices based on data from patent applications, presented an image of a Xiaomi smartphone with a camera placed behind the display. Interestingly, the hole still remains, but this is not a lens.

The hole is located in the edge above the screen and serves to capture light. It is connected by fiber optic to the camera, which is placed entirely behind the screen. It should be noted that in the first generation sub-screen cameras there were problems with capturing enough light, and this, of course, had a negative effect on photos and videos. With such a scheme, there should be enough light for the pictures.

It is expected that such a solution will make it possible to get rid of embedded cameras, moreover, a behind-the-screen camera is cheaper to implement than a sub-screen one, and the quality of photo and video should be at least comparable. A patent for a front camera of this design was issued at once in two departments – European and North American.
