  • A Google filing has hinted at a future Pixel phone with under-display selfie camera tech.
  • This patent doesn’t mean a Pixel device is coming with the tech any time soon though.

2020 saw the first major smartphone with an under-display selfie camera debut in the ZTE Axon 20 5G, with the likes of Samsung and Xiaomi following up in 2021. It looks like Google is also thinking about this feature thanks to a newly spotted patent.

Let’s Go Digital discovered a Google Pixel patent filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), showing a smartphone with a pair of under-display selfie cameras as well as a couple of other sensors under the screen. Check out the image below for a better idea of what to expect.
