A patent for a Xiaomi innovation in regard to under-display camera technology has been shared online. While it is widely expected that Xiaomi will soon offer smartphones with at least a concealable under-screen selfie camera, this patent shows that the Chinese OEM is looking further ahead at what else can be achieved from this burgeoning camera trend.

Yup. Not that it's not already a pretty big issue, but this will also make it much easier to conceal cameras, so there will be absolutely no privacy anymore. We're heading down a dangerous path and most people couldn't care less.

Weird but totally ingenious as it allows the back of the module to be made so that it's entirely invisible when flipped the other way.
