Xiaomi granted a patent for its under-screen flip camera

Xiaomi was granted a patent for its under-screen flip camera serving the dual purpose of primary camera and selfie camera. The technology will help the phone's camera set up to enable the camera to rotate 180 degrees so that it can serve as both a selfie and rear-facing camera.

Xiaomi has been on the rise with its multiple mid-range and high-end smartphones and it continues to pursue active research and development in Smartphone technology. It comes up with multiple features for phones such as curved display and under-display camera.

Under-screen camera technology has been on the list of various companies. Nevertheless, Xiaomi has been making huge development for the rotating under-display camera module. This is obvious with the new patent granted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

The patent application was filed in February 2020 for a "Terminal Device" featuring the under-display camera. Getting the patent, Xiaomi may bring the phone within the year.

The flip camera module is placed at the back of the device and is just a part of an elaborate system of lenses that would provide excellent quality visuals. The triple camera setup has a rotatable top lens. Extensive details were provided in the documentation document and showed that a magnetic drive module may be deployed for the operation of the under-display, internally rotated camera revealed the patent documentation.

The patent documentation also revealed that the front-facing camera is activated internally with the rotating rear camera. The display is adjusted to fit in with the activated camera module and provide an equally powerful shot.
