Upcoming Asus's Phones May Adopt Display Hole And Pop-Up Camera Designs

Huawei and Samsung are two early smartphone makers to adopt the new display design for the front camera with the Huawei Nova 4 and Samsung Galaxy A8. The design could have been a big hit if it had been released just 1-2 years ago, but it has recently been unveiled along with the two mentioned smartphones.

The display hole was started only as an early concept, but many people just thought that it would have never been featured in a real smartphone. But now, many smartphone producers are about to make smartphones with either in-display front-facing camera or a pop-up one.

Asus also shows that they are also trying to integrate both of the camera designs into their phone as recently, they have filed two patents relating to the two designs. LetsGoDigital was the first to spot Asus’s patents which show three models of a smartphone made by Asus with pop-up cameras in various sizes and bezel-less display.

As shown in the first patent design, ASUS is envisaging three pop-up design with different sizes. While the smallest one is probably just enough for a selfie camera, the other two pop-up designs may also accommodate other components, not only the front camera. And the phone’s speaker will still be located in the upper bezel.

While smartphone makers have already been adopting this pop-up design for some time now, the display hole design has only been introduced not too long ago, and it seems like there are more phone makers embracing this change in the upcoming year and Asus might also adopt the design as well, as it also filed another patent with the European Union Intellectual Property Office to protect a phone design with a display hole for the front camera similar to the one on the Samsung Galaxy A8s and Huawei Nova 4.

Even though Asus recently claimed that it is going to pay more attention to the gaming smartphone market, these two camera designs may also fit pretty well with its new strategy. Sadly, the upcoming top-end Asus phones might not launch until February or even March next year.
