To fully eliminate the notch and make an all-screen phone with no pop-up mechanism, OPPO officially unveiled the world's first under-screen selfie camera at the MWC Shanghai 2019 expo.

Bye pop-up cameras, RIP notch? |
The tech for next-generation all-screen phones!
According to OPPO, the company made it possible by using a custom transparent material that works with a redesigned pixel structure to allow the light get through the camera. The company added that it has a larger selfie camera with a wider aperture size to ensure that its quality won't suffer.
The company added that even if it has a selfie camera underneath, the area reserve for the camera still works with touch control.

The company will work on adjustments with white balance, HDR, and haze. It is a gen 1 technology, so those weaknesses are understandable.
According to OPPO, we will see a commercial device with the under-screen camera in the near future.
How soon? Only time will tell.
