I don't think that's a good idea. What about the majority of the phone's use when it's not showing someone's face? What about when the person moves their head

- mcv 7y agoNot to mention having a hole in your screen when you just want to watch a video. It's a ridiculous idea, but funny to think about. More seriously, I'm wondering if at some point the front-facing camera may be an intrinsic part of the screen. I've read that on-screen fingerprint sensors already use a kind of camera in the screen. If that were to become good enough to see images at a distance, that might actually work.
