Pixel 7: Google secures camera patent

According to a new patent that Google has just secured, they would like to use an invisible front camera (source: LetsGoDigital). Just like Samsung did with the Galaxy Z Fold 3, the Pixel 7 could also use a sub-display camera.

In terms of camera performance, however, there is still a lot of room for improvement. The special selfie camera in the Galaxy Z Fold 3 didn't convince us.
A conventional front camera is also part of the Google Pixel 6. But it can also be seen:
Pixel 7: too early for invisible cameras?
