The mentioned patent could be applied to Pixel 7, or just to a mobile phone with a flexible screen. A flexible Pixel plus an invisible camera would certainly be eye-catching combination. However, in this respect, the Korean company Samsung is very likely to overtake the American company. According to speculation, the lens hidden behind the flexible display should be the allure of the new Galaxy Z Fold3.
