Xiaomi wants to change the way smartphone cameras work

Xiaomi is said to have a new design concept for future smartphones, where a rotating camera design allows it to work for both normal photography and selfie tasks.
Although the patent content has been filed by Xiaomi since February last year, it has only been officially announced so far, giving users a better view of its strategy. The rotating camera will have a mechanism that will allow it to flip between the selfie camera and the rear camera, depending on the needs of the user. By default, the rotating camera will face the back of the phone, ready to be used for regular photos and videos.

The images on the patent show a phone with a triple camera module at the back, with the top camera able to rotate between front and back positions. When in selfie mode, the camera will turn inward and the display area around the camera will be disabled so that light can reach the sensor. A magnetic or mechanical mechanism will help rotate the camera. Realme launched a smartphone with 5,000 mAh battery, 33W charging, 90Hz screen, 6 GB RAM, priced at more than 4 million VND This design will bring a number of advantages over the product. The first thing to know is that it will enhance the quality of selfies. The selfie camera is rarely on par with the rear camera when it comes to imaging performance, not to mention that the under-display camera can be at an even greater disadvantage than the traditional selfie camera. By rotating the main camera from the rear module, Xiaomi can improve the performance of the selfie camera without paying extra for a better selfie camera. Taking advantage of the rear camera not only saves money on buying a high-end camera sensor, but it can also help utilize the space inside to increase battery capacity.

A rotating camera will also need additional components for it to rotate, so it will lead to a waste of battery space. Rotating the lens inside the phone can have an additional side effect that the camera part may have to be even thicker to be able to rotate the lens – which was already thick.

Finally, some glitches with the rotating camera can also occur. A flip camera with moving parts can always be damaged and that is the main concern when sliding camera systems in the past have always had certain problems. As everything happens inside the phone, it means that if there is debris happening inside the mechanism, it will force deep intervention into the hardware.

In fact, Apple has also researched a mirror system that illuminates from the front and rear cameras into the same sensor through a patent in 2015, but this mechanism has not been implemented by Apple so far. on its products.
