Keep a mind on this kind innovation. Will the OLED display above the fingerprint scanner become burn-in faster than usual due to unlock the screen often in daily usages?

      Any search on Google for "OLED 120hz" would show you that that's not true.

                AnonD-731785, 19 Jan 2018Wow.... so my idea is finally taking shape... I don't want ... moreMe too....earlier before Android phone came..during windows mobile era!

                My dream phone also includes:

                a Xbox kinect like sensor for full hand free motion gesture operation.

                And sonic sensor like in car back sensor parking aid! (Coz I'm often use my phone while walking)

                Just some crazy unpatented ideas!

                  lolme, 19 Jan 2018how about implementing the sony acoustic surface technology... moreLMAO I just want the speaker to vibrate, not the whole screen. Piezoelectric like the Mi Mix series is probably the solution.

                    It's always been pretty much plain and simple since 2011. Samsung is Android and Technology nothing else matters today period.

                        Apple is definitely inventing in few years...

                          If camera can see though OLED screen by having high refresh rate to switch it on/off... why dont just turn off that small part of the screen completely? it would ne just small 2-3mm black dot on top that will show up only when front camera is active so its not big deal...

                              thats some innnovation right at great..

                                Here is an idea... Since they are going to make the camera below the screen most of it will be embedded in it.. How about we make a compound camera like the eye of a housefly... It may go past the exposure and aperture problems that exist with the screen being in front of the camera..
