Later, xiaomi announced the name of "hidden video screen" on its official weibo account, calling it "an innovative technology with xiaomi's own intellectual property rights", suggesting that the design of the next flagship phone MIX4 may be adopted by xiaomi, attracting wide attention from netizens.

So, whether it's the "hidden video" or the "full screen," the off-screen camera technology is definitely the future of mobile phones, and even apple is waiting for the technology to mature to remove the bangs from the iPhone.So will we see off-screen camera phones in the second half of 2019?

At present, Samsung S10 and other models used OLED opening screen is the early stage of the screen sensor, due to the screen panel light transmittance limitations, can only first use the open hole solution.

Xiaomi's "hidden screen" technology is roughly the same as the sensor technology under the screen. By adding a smaller "transparent screen" above the main screen, it can achieve a high transparency and low reflection front-facing camera shooting experience.In xiaomi's video demo, the selfie effect is already very clear, so we can't rule out that the technology will be applied to xiaomi's next flagship new phone MIX4.

OPPO is less optimistic, and its vice president, Shenyi, says the current optical quality of the camera is not comparable to the non-screen, just like the current glory of the 20 series of blind Kong, the front camera quality response to a certain loss.
