Since then, we’ve seen Xiaomi and Oppo both reveal under-screen cameras, giving us a tantalizing glimpse at some cool technology. It’s clear that first-generation under-screen cameras will have a few issues in terms of picture quality, as Oppo suggests . But it’s also apparent that this tech could make notches, sliders, and pop-ups a thing of the past. However, Oppo has revealed that it’s working on under-screen 3D cameras too, and this has the potential to truly make an uncompromising full-screen smartphone. A gradual move to under-display tech We’ve seen plenty of mobile features move under the display in recent years, starting with the Xiaomi Mi Mix back in 2016. Sure, its screen/body ratio might seem pedestrian today, but it used piezoelectric technology to replace the earpiece. We’ve also seen a few other brands offer similar earpie

All four carriers now offer 5G service, albeit in limited footprints and with uneven experiences. One of T-Mobile’s 5G launch cities is New York, and the company invited us to take the network for a spin using the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G . This is the same phone we used earlier this year to test Verizon’s 5G . It’s a gorgeous phone with a massive screen and an advanced set of cameras.
