Xiaomi’s product director Wang Teng has admitted that the company may launch a pop-up camera smartphone in the near future.

Xiaomi is apparently working on a smartphone with a pop-up camera. According to a report from Chinese website ITHome, Xiaomi’s product director Wang Teng has admitted that the company may launch a pop-up camera smartphone in the near future.

But a Xiaomi phone with a pop-up camera isn’t happening anytime soon. According to Wang, the design hasn’t caught up consumers yet, something that is stopping Xiaomi to launch a phone with a pop-up camera. In a sense, pop-up cameras are just another way to eradicate a notch.

But there are a host of issues that need to be addressed, along with the durability of moving parts in the long run. That may be indicative why the feature has been limited to a select few phones form the likes of Oppo and Vivo. In fact, Vivo is preparing another smartphone with a pop-up selfie camera. The Vivo V15 Pro sports a 32MP selfie camera and a 48MP camera on the back. The phone will be officially launched in India on February 20.
