How (un) the sub-display camera is clear

The Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 dares to access the auxiliary display camera. Can hidden front camera be an alternative to punch holes, notch etc?

For a long time, major manufacturers have been fighting fierce competition for the best and vague solution for implementing the front camera in current smartphones. Newer flagships should have shorter display bezels and the screen-to-body ratio specified on the packaging should be as high as possible.

Further Galaxy Fold 3’s under-display camera only triggers with 4 megapixels And does not give confidence to the selfie in breathtaking quality.

But despite the weak front camera recordings being a nuisance in the ZTE approach, Samsung can save itself with the folding concept. The foldable smartphone has a second front camera on the cover display, which is at least 10 MP. The main triple camera can also be used for selfies when fully extended.
