Oppo has a patented front camera that travels back and forth in a frame. For what?

How do I place the front camera in the phone? Many mobile phone manufacturers ask this question, and the vast majority of them operate with several variants. We have already had the opportunity to practically try or at least see conservative i in the drawings very bold solutions. For example, ZTE is already selling a mobile phone with a camera hidden under the layer of the display, and companies are still thinking about where to go. Oppo obviously also works with several other variants, which, for example, has an interesting patent for horizontally sliding front camera.

This Chinese brand is actually a fad in the field of location and use of lenses known. We can mention the Find X or Reno 10x zoom models. The current patent points to a solution that allows for a lens pbending along the upper edge in a kind of groove. Her move should arrange hidden motorbike. The main advantage of this mechanism could be, for example, taking 3D pictures without the user having to move the mobile phone. Capture space from multiple angles would provide a moving lens.

So far, this horizontally sliding front camera only exists on paper (visuals and animation have been arranged by the well-known Lets Go Digidal server), however, Oppo has been used several times. proved that they are not afraid to experiment and the patent could reach production. In this case, we see a chance that the company will not leave the idea in a drawer, in a ratio of 50:50.

Which front camera solution suits you best?
