Google has a brilliant idea for Pixels with under-display camera tech

A Pixel 6 leak showed us last week the purported design Google devised for the next-gen Pixel handset. Overall, the leak indicates Google is taking the Pixel more seriously than last year, indicating the new phone might offer the kind of flagship build quality and specs we’d expect from this particular iPhone competitor. If that’s one thing that won’t actually change, that’s the screen design. Most handsets have the same display design. If it’s a new iPhone, there’s a notch at the top housing the selfie camera, Face ID components, and other front-facing hardware. Androids feature a hole-punch selfie camera placed in the middle or one of the two corners. The Pixel 6 will have a hole-punch screen of its own, if the render above is accurate.

A brand new discovery indicates that Google is looking to eliminate the hole in the screen and replace it with an under-display camera (UDC). Google has developed a brilliant way that could help it prevent the main problem with UDC. But the design isn’t necessarily flaw-free.
