      Meanwhile, expert have for a while and still advise seriously to cover your laptop's camera.
      Funny thing is that Android is and have always been much less secure than Windows/Linux/iOS.

      The most dangerous myths about UDC is that "they can't see you if the display is lit", which is totally false, in fact, this is exactly what underdisplay optical FPS do.
      Add to that the false sense of privacy given by how you forget the camera is here, and many will have bad surprises.

              Anonymous, 07 Dec 2021Impossible, also ugly hole is cheaper than pop upBS, the pop-up are extra cheap, there are cheaper phones who have pop-up than almost all who have punch holes, and even there, the specs difference is what explain how those with punch holes are less expensive.

              It is impossible as long as haters like you keep spreading long debunked idiotic myths about the pop-ups.

                Pop-up are much better than underdisplay camera in many ways.
                UDC not only, can't guarantee privacy, but they are in fact an active threat to privacy.

                The ONLY good thing about UDC, is that you can buy a phone with one, tear it down, remove the camera, and enjoy a spying-free smartphone with a fulldisplay and no notches or holes.

                  Like this :
                  https://www.simplace.co/b737-overhead-panel-forward-plug-play.html
                  Flight simulation is already a niche, people paying for expensive things, such as a Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog is a niche within said niche, but those who make more or less realistic homemade cockpit are a niche within a niche within a niche, and I am talking about "crude" cockpits here, like this :
                  https://uploads.mudspike.com/original/3X/4/4/44e4f5e998d5f463b5ac980815ebb9452502aca4.jpeg
                  Those who make even more advanced homemade cockpit are a niche within a niche within a niche within a niche, like those :
                  https://c8.alamy.com/comp/MFJD9T/lateral-view-of-cockpit-in-homemade-flight-simulator-concept-of-aerospace-industry-development-flying-simulation-school-for-aviation-learning-pilo-MFJD9T.jpg

                  But now, paying 4.112,79 Euro for an overhead panel of a specific aircraft, only for hobbyist (not for pro), is next level niche.
                  Yet, you can see such products exist, they exist in quite a lot of variety, from many brands, some, as I said, only making such products.
                  This is ONE example, every market I can think about have such examples.

                  So now, tell me HOW, something that has already EVERYTHING to be done, ready, and that have already been done, that many wants and many will pay for it, that in the end allowing a single sensor will cover its own cost, is "too expensive and not viable from a financial point of view"?


                  Where did I ever write in the comment you are answering to, about pop-up coming back?
                  The ONLY thing I write about them, is EXACTLY the kind of BS you just said, that this tech will die because of useless haters like you, like the pop-up did die for the same reason.
                  To everyone : Notice how it is, as usual, an "anonymous".

                  There is NOT A SINGLE other market that, like the Smartphone one, have so little diversity and so many people like you constantly saying BS.
                  What do you know the cost?
                  What do you know about the demand?
                  What do you know about the market in general?
                  Nothing, nothing and nothing, you are just pulling BS argument out of nowhere.
                  There are still quite a few prototype phones and concept phones made with pop up camera, the engineers know their stuff, and they know it is a good tech, only "people" like you make it impossible to have in the market, and not just the pop-up, it is EVERYTHING that isn't trending.

                  Either, go educate yourself about what you ASSERT before saying non-senses, or refrain.

                    AnonD-909757, 07 Dec 2021It already existed, bezels, pop-up, slider phones and no fr... moreI love the pop up
                    It's a great temporary solution for until under display cameras become more widespread but it's a real shame only a few phones have it. I can't believe every company settled with the stupid punch holes instead and some phones even went further beyond with the gigantic double punch hole like the S10+ which was just as bad and laughable as the comical Pixel 3 xl notch

                        That phone was a disgrace

                          Anonymous, 07 Dec 2021Samsung already did this years ago Not "this" exactly, I'm not talking about putting a compact camera module on the back of a phone, I'm talking about what Oppo is doing here, something on a minor scale. Looks no harder than putting a periscope horizontally inside the body of the phone, with worse optics.
