According to the news on January 14, a new patent applied by Xiaomi in May last year was exposed and has now been authorized. The Xiaomi’s 7 Cameras smartphone’s design will include three pop-up cameras with dual cameras in the front. At the same time, it will have dual cameras, three cameras, and even five cameras in the rear. As a result, the coming smartphone can have up to seven cameras.
The smartphone’s front camera has always been a headache for those who are looking for a full screen. No matter how small the “bangs” and “dig holes” are, it’s not a complete screen. As an alternative, pop-ups and sliding rollers have become good choices. OPPO, Vivo, and Huawei have also used similar designs before. However, it is unexpected that Xiaomi put the front and rear on the same pop-up structure this time, which is more neat and concise.
The Xiaomi’s 7 Cameras smartphone design will also make the pop-up structure wider taking up almost 60% ~ 70% of the space above the screen. The pop-up camera also has its inherent disadvantages. For instance, the smartphone is too thick and not thin, and the mechanical structure also has the hidden danger of damage. For Xiaomi, how to plug so many cameras in a narrow space is also a challenge.
