<\/div>Punch It<\/h2>
Just last month, South Korean tech giant Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S10<\/a>, a phone with just a single hole punched in the screen to accommodate its front-facing camera.<\/p> On Thursday, a Samsung exec shared new details<\/a> on the company’s intentions to create a “perfect full-screen” phone, with an “invisible” camera behind the screen to eliminate the need for any visible holes or sensors — confirming that one of the biggest players in tech sees edge-to-edge screens as the future of mobile devices<\/a>.<\/p> During a press briefing covered by Yonhap News Agency<\/em><\/a>, Samsung’s Mobile Communication R&D Group Display Vice President Yang Byung-duk said the company’s goal is to create a phone with a screen that covers the entire front of the device — but consumers shouldn’t expect it in the immediate future.<\/p> “Though it wouldn’t be possible to make (a full-screen smartphone) in the next 1-2 years,” Yang said, “the technology can move forward to the point where the camera hole will be invisible, while not affecting the camera’s function in any way.”<\/p> This isn’t Samsung’s first mention of an uninterrupted full-screen phone — as pointed out by The Verge<\/em><\/a>, the company discussed its ambitions to put the front-facing camera under a future device’s screen during a presentation<\/a> in October.<\/p> That presentation included a few additional details on how the camera in a full-screen phone would work.<\/p> Essentially, the entire screen would serve as a display whenever the front-facing camera wasn’t in use. When in use, however, the screen would become transparent, allowing the camera to see through so you could snap the perfect selfie — and based on Yang’s comments, that new innovation could be just a few years away.<\/p> READ MORE: <\/strong>Samsung Seeks Shift to Full Screen in New Smartphones<\/a> [Yonhap News Agency<\/em>]<\/p> More on Samsung:<\/strong> Samsung Just Revealed a $1,980 Folding Smartphone<\/a><\/em><\/p> The post Samsung Is Working on Phone With “Invisible” Camera Behind Screen<\/a> appeared first on Futurism<\/a>.<\/p> View post: Punch It Just last month, South Korean tech\u00a0giant Samsung unveiled the\u00a0 Galaxy S10 , a phone with just a single hole punched in the screen to accommodate its front-facing camera.
