An exciting display upgrade is coming to more phones this year

If you want a new smartphone right now, you only have a few design options to choose from. Every iPhone other than the iPhone SE has the same notch at the top. Similarly, most Android handsets have hole-punch screens. There’s also a limited third category that includes foldable phones. But they’re all Android devices, and their foldable screens are likely to feature hole-punch cameras as well. These display design variations ultimately try to achieve the same goal, which is to increase the display size as much as possible without impacting any core features. That’s why the notch and hole-punch cameras are still necessary.

But 2021 will bring significant display design changes to both iPhone and Android, which will lead to even better-looking handsets. The iPhone 13 series is rumored to feature a smaller notch. Over on Android, various devices should get under-display cameras, including Samsung’s upcoming foldable flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold 3. But a new report claims that Xiaomi is also keen on launching phones with under-display cameras this year, including foldable and traditional flagships.
