There ISN'T a single solution which is better than others (there are better implementations, like disappearing cameras being much better than underdisplay cameras), a market where something replaces other things while not being able to provide the same functionality is an awful market.

And if it could kill the front camera for once and for all, it is a good thing.
Pop up and flip up are the best alternatives to second display on the back, I like my Poco F2 Pro's pop up.

OEM using magic spells, so they can see through objects?
As usual with the trending solution in the smartphone industry, it is the worst of all the way to make it.
And even if it improves in quality, it will still be a privacy hazard.

Dudenoway, 08 Jul 2021Dual display takes much more space and needs more battery. ... moreAnd?
If you don't like that, just don't buy it.
Many, myself included, couldn't care less about that, I prefer a phone without those useless selfie camera and horror hole/notch/underdisplay camera over a thicker phone, which I prefer anyway.

But a detachable ca... moreI'd prefer a phone with just no front camera at all, and maybe a second display on the back like this Mi Mix 4 image here, but just look at the comment session, people can't even tolerate the idea that someone think about potentially liking it, so of course that "weird" solutions like that got imagined, with Vivo wireless pop up prototype:

And Xiaomi and Oppo detachable wireless main camera module concept :

Though the good point of those is the upgrade capability:

Akashraj, 08 Jul 2021Yeah, most will be happy video calling from that little 2nd... moreThey don't exist anymore, BECAUSE people couldn't shut up and bring them down for absolutely no reasons while THEY are the one who have the whole market worth of alternatives, but when someone like me point out that there is nothing available, yeah I am a criminal for even suggesting that FEW phones should have such feature...
Exactly like what is happening in this comment session.
From constant spitting on phones with a second display on the back and all the lies about the pop up fragility despite only very few ever having issues, it creates such a bad reputation and image that they disappear.
Which is EXACTLY why now OEMs don't even care about user opinion, because they can't tell what is GENUINE complains and people who just hate anything that isn't especially made for them.
People...

aggelos0518, 08 Jul 2021In the subject of a zoom call, sometimes the presenters sha... moreYeah, except that, do you REALLY need to see it on the back display?
How many situations require for you to see something AND being seen at the same time, when it is someone else who show you something.
And if you want to see something in details, why use a phone when things like tablets and laptop exist and are MADE for this?
And again, just don't buy such a phone if it doesn't suit your need, it isn't because it is not for YOU that you need to spit on the concept.

Anonymous, 08 Jul 2021Looks like rear displays will be a staple for Xiaomi now...... moreI'd click the occasional selfie. It's great in low light where all other cameras fail to deliver good selfies.
Mi 11 Ultra with its rear display is putting those mammoth Ultrawide and main lenses at your disposal, complete and with flash and everything. I think they would be super useful inside night clubs, where most of the smartphone cameras are delivering average quality selfies.
Other from that, I don't use it much, I've put "Android King" image on the back.
You'll definitely meet people asking you about it.
It's an eye catcher, something different from all the other phones on the market

Anonymous, 08 Jul 2021Looks like rear displays will be a staple for Xiaomi now...... moreI don't use it much as I don't click a lot of selfies.
For video calls, I use front camera as most apps have it locked at 1080p resolution.
Although, the rear display is handy when phone is placed on a table or something.

if they manage to make invisible under display camera, doesn't that make the rear display obsolete

How many of you Mi 11 Ultra users take advantage of that rear display?

I like it and i never use the selfie camera. So, perfect for me but... Release a cheaper version later under the name of Mi Note 11 with a mid-range SoC and i'll all in and purchase. This one will be too expensive and the SD888 is not that great, too much power hungry and to much heat when its power performance is needed. Also with a 5x optical telephoto camera.
Anyways good design. That is what i want. No punch holes or notches and great rear cameras.

Or we could wait and see.. We cant really say that its doomed yet.
By the way im also using poco f2 pro for 1 year now, but i dont think im gonna miss it. Yeah sure id agree it is a great phone for its price
