Ever since the arrival of notches, the smartphone industry has been hard at work in making the perfect display.

That said, two things come to mind — it’s coming and it’s going to be affordable.

If history is any indication, we could see phones with this type of technology as early as 2020. When Vivo (OPPO’s sister company) launched the Nex sporting a pop-up selfie camera, its mid-range phones almost immediately adopted the technology. A few months later, the world has been plagued with motorized cameras, with some going crazy like the Samsung Galaxy A80 and Asus Zenfone 6.
Could we see the same thing happening for the under-screen selfie camera? Most likely. This time, it’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
