Xiaomi cuts speculation. There will be no such smartphones anymore

At the turn of 2018 and 2019, it seemed that manufacturers had finally found a way to use the front cameras, which, according to many, distorted the screens of smartphones. As you remember, the concept was pushed around at that time Retractable lenses, which, when not in use, were hidden in the upper edge of the casing. Unexpectedly, this solution suddenly disappeared.

We have now found out that both are Xiaomi and not any of the sister brands They do not intend to return to retractable lenses. Commenting on the premiere of the K60 model, Lou Weibing, Vice President of Xiaomi and at the same time President of the Redmi brand, admitted that this mechanism is a closed chapter in the eyes of the company. True, the director did not disclose the reasons for abandoning the enterprise, but knowing life, their creation must not have been particularly profitable, and at the same time not worth the increased effort.

Consumers, despite widespread complaints about gaps in screens, it seems They didn’t throw themselves at smartphones with pop-up cameras. In addition, there is no doubt that it is more expensive to produce and may be more problematic than the classic one, although official data on this matter has not been disclosed.

Meanwhile, fans of smooth, uncluttered performances can count on it Bottom camera technology. Another thing is that at the moment only ZTE is used more widely, and the quality of the pictures, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired there. Anyway, in this regard, even the Galaxy Z Fold4, which costs a small fortune, fails, which probably speaks for itself.
