OPPO shows off new smartphone prototypes with under-display selfie cameras
by Leave a Comment
Avoiding the notch seems to have been the big goal of 2019. Some devices have managed to do it quite successfully, like the OnePlus 7 Pro with its popup camera, and the ASUS ZenFone 6 with a flippy up camera. But people want fewer moving parts in their cameras. So, other companies, like OPPO, have been working on cameras that sit underneath your display.
OPPO first showed off the under-glass tech earlier in the year, but it needed a lot of work. Now it seems they’ve put that work in as they’ve been showing off some prototypes recently. And judging from the practical demonstration, it looks quite good, too.

Google and Samsung confirm massive Android Camera exploit affecting “hundreds of millions” of users
by 7 Comments
There’s been constant paranoia about the cameras in smartphones for as long as smartphones have had cameras. Can somebody hack into your phone, turn on your camera and watch? Or record? Well, it turns out that yes, they can. At least, they can if you’re one of the potentially “hundreds of millions” of Android users on a Google or Samsung smartphone.
The issue was first discovered (at least, publicly) by the security research team at Checkmarx. They say that after a detailed analysis of the Google Camera app in the Pixel 3, they found a way to manipulate certain code to take control of the camera to shoot photos or record videos, even when the phone was locked with the screen off, and without the user knowing.
Say goodbye to camera bumps with new 1,000 times thinner flat lenses
by 1 Comment
Smartphone cameras are getting better and better, offering a range of features we could only dream of ten years ago. But despite high functionality and advanced features, one “problem” still persists: the aesthetics. The lenses are still relatively thick, creating s-called “camera bumps.” But scientists from the University of Utah have developed a new type of optical lens to solve this problem.
This new type of lens is a thousand times thinner than a regular lens, and a hundred times lighter. It could help smartphone camera manufacturers finally get rid of camera bumps, but it will find its application on drones and night vision cameras, too.
