Must the front camera be fixed on the mobile phone in the era of full screen?

What is a full screen? The screen ratio reaches 100%, which means that the front panel of a whole mobile phone is a screen. At present, such a machine has not appeared, but to say that the full screen is doing well now, I like Samsung after all. Recently, it was also reported that the camera of Samsung note 10 will be on the stylus!

Does the subject say that the front camera must be fixed on the mobile phone? This is certainly not a bold idea. There is no future now that I don't know if it will appear; Mobile phone camera is not just a piece of glass, it needs many original accessories to cooperate with it, and the algorithm is also very important, so I don't know if putting it on these mobile phone accessories will affect the imaging quality of the camera. Personally, I think it is much more correct and convenient to use on my mobile phone. If you put it on the data cable or earphone as the title says, if your data cable or earphone is dropped or left outside, you can say: I *, the camera of my mobile phone is dropped …

It is an improvement to put the camera at the bottom of the screen now. The Samsung s 10+ camera just can't display images, but it can touch normally. Even so, the screen ratio has not reached 100%, so it is a full screen!

Must the front camera be fixed on the mobile phone in the era of full screen?

As the biggest obstacle in the era of full screen, the front camera can be described as a "cancer". Whether it's Liu Haiping, drip screen, lift screen or dig screen, all mobile phones are making way for the front camera. Although there is a scheme of off-screen camera now, it is not mature at present.

Then many people's brains are wide open, and the front camera is made separate, just like the pen on Samsung's mobile phone, which exists as an accessory. Unplug it when it is used, and there is no front camera when it is not used. Needless to say, this scheme has really been done by manufacturers.

Vivo showed such a concept machine in IFEA. The front camera is stored separately and adopts magnetic attraction design. Just like the Magsafe charger of iPhone 12, it is buckled together to avoid the interface loosening caused by long-term plugging, which seems to take into account the frequency of front use.

Vivo is not a lens this time, but a set, each lens is equivalent to a mini sports camera, an independent module, similar to AirPods wireless headphones, which can charge itself, and then take photos remotely with near-field technologies such as Bluetooth or NFC, which not only solves the self-portrait problem of the front lens, but also liberates the front lens, which is more playable and more powerful than the rear lens.

Moreover, vivo is equipped with a set of lenses (I don't know how many at present), which is modular production. It can realize a variety of shooting modes such as fisheye lens, wide-angle lens, telephoto lens and ordinary lens, and even put several lenses in different positions at the same time to realize multiple cameras, which is very delicious for shooting large films.

The idea of vivo is really wonderful, a bit like the operation of changing lenses with SLR. As long as the market is large enough, the lens module will be more playable. At present, the separated module is dual-shot, and it can also be three-shot if necessary. In addition, with the micro-pan/tilt technology of vivo, the anti-shake effect is better. Tie the lens to people and animals to capture, get the most authentic first perspective, and there are more ways to play videos.

As for everyone who is worried about forgetting or losing their functions, don't be afraid at all. Connect the camera and call the police when it exceeds a certain distance. In case you forget to pack your things, it also plays a very good auxiliary role.

At present, vivo aims at mass production. As long as the battery life and imaging compatibility are solved, this thing is quite close to mass production. Compared with the off-screen camera, I think this is more practical, does not affect the screen, and can better protect privacy and be more playable.

Full-screen mobile phones are very popular now, but existing mobile phones can only achieve a pseudo-full-screen, and no matter how hard you try, you can't completely hide the front camera. Either make it into a lifting type and put it in the fuselage when not in use, but this will make the fuselage thicker and waterproof. Or dig a hole and embed the front camera into the screen, but this design still looks a bit strange.

So some netizens had a whim: Can you make the front camera into a split type, insert it into your mobile phone to take pictures when needed, and put it aside when not needed?

This design is feasible in theory, but in fact, there is no manufacturer to design such a mobile phone, because the existing technology is difficult to achieve.

Because the photos taken by mobile phone cameras are relatively large, for example, the current cameras start with 40 million pixels, and the size of a photo is about 10MB. In fact, all the photos we see are processed by mobile phones, and the original photo files taken by cameras are larger. Therefore, if the camera and the mobile phone are connected by a data cable or in any other way, there will be a problem that the photos taken cannot be transmitted to the mobile phone for processing in time, and it may take several seconds to see the preview on the screen after taking pictures. If it is used to shoot 4K and 8K videos, the transmission speed will be slower.

Of course, if the data interface of the mobile phone uses USB 3.0 protocol, the highest writing speed can reach 6Gbps, and theoretically, photos and videos can be transmitted at high speed. But another problem of split camera is that the preparation time is too long and the operation is too troublesome. Usually we take selfies with our mobile phones, and we don't even unlock them when we pick them up. We just need to turn on the camera in the lock screen state and switch to the front camera to complete the shooting. To use a split camera, you must first find the camera, plug it in the phone, turn the phone upside down, and then open the camera APP to take a selfie, which is relatively inconvenient.

The most important thing is that the size of the split camera will not be too big, but if you take selfies frequently, you need to carry it with you, and you may leave it somewhere when you use it. Besides, I'm afraid the price of this camera won't be too cheap. It's at least a few hundred cheaper, and it may be thousands more expensive. How sad it would be if you accidentally lost it or broke it! For mobile phone manufacturers, splitting the front camera will increase the manufacturing cost, which is not worth the candle.

Therefore, although it is a good idea to use a split camera for mobile phones, it is technically difficult to achieve. Nowadays, mobile phone manufacturers are trying to study the off-screen camera, that is, on the basis of the existing digging camera technology, the front camera is hidden under the screen, so that the screen area where the camera is located can display the content normally when not taking pictures, and it will not affect the photo taking effect.

At present, Xiaomi and OPPO have already demonstrated the prototype of the off-screen camera phone, and one of ZTE's off-screen camera phones has even been put on sale. Therefore, in the future, mobile phones will definitely focus on off-screen camera technology.

For many otaku, after buying a new mobile phone, it is estimated that the front camera has not been turned on several times throughout the year, and it is undoubtedly a front face recognition payment system, and others are rarely used! Therefore, for many boys, it is not important to have a front camera, but it is a bit difficult to realize whether the front camera can be plugged and unplugged like an earphone as mentioned by this netizen. There are two main difficulties!

First: the trend of the mobile phone industry! Recently, a mobile phone about iPhone 13 was exposed. After removing the 3.5mm headphone jack, the data cable jack will be cancelled one after another, which means there is almost no jack in the phone. The mobile phone industry pursues the design with no interface and no opening as its ultimate goal. On the one hand, it won't get dirty. On the other hand, it will present a full-screen experience more perfectly!

Therefore, this design cannot be established because it violates the design route of the mobile phone industry in the past two years. Another factor is that the UI system of the mobile phone should be adapted, and it can't be achieved if it doesn't!

The second aspect: it is simply painful for people who love selfies, especially girls! The biggest function of mobile phone is convenience. For example, when I see beautiful scenery outdoors, I want to take out my mobile phone and take pictures quickly. I even set up shortcut keys to complete your quick creation in order to capture the mobile phone industry!

In terms of selfies, especially girlfriends' parties, I estimate that many girls will be very excited and want to take pictures immediately. If you let him look around in the bag, it will take a long time to find the front camera to install on it, which is undoubtedly very troublesome! It is estimated that only professionals will tolerate it. After all, SLR cameras have to change lenses according to the different needs of the scene, and some people even add some SLR lenses to their mobile phones! In particular, some mobile phone manufacturers have more than one front lens, so plug-in is even more difficult to achieve!

But these are personalized needs, so for such needs, unless it is personalized, unless you can launch crowdfunding, if you can respond to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of orders, I think there will still be mobile phone manufacturers interested in taking orders, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve! Because in the face of commercial value, R&D takes the popular and widely accepted route as far as possible, and sometimes it will give up personalized demand!

If you want to take a picture of what you just saw, you have to find a camera. By the time you get ready for work, the picture will have passed.

Removable things are inherently unstable. Look at the headphones. Will they sting for a long time? You have to plug, rotate and press them repeatedly to find the right joint.

And these are just a few combination points. (* * * Ground, Left Channel, Right Channel, Analog Signal)

In a similar situation, there is a problem with the data line. Is the long-term use of the data cable plug loose, and it may take a certain angle to charge stably?

By extension, the combination of your mobile phone external camera and mobile phone must have more than three contacts, and it must be a digital signal. This reliability will only get worse. When you spend a lot of money to buy a mobile phone, the external camera is not working, and your mood can be imagined. Even if you buy new camera accessories, the combination with the mobile phone still has problems of resistivity and waterproof, which is doomed to be unsuitable for detachable design.
