    There are some Chinese devices where the camera is pretty much invisible. It doesn’t look like Samsung’s version where you can clearly see the pixels.

    That being said, they absolutely destroy camera quality - so either Google is betting on AI to fake face details, or they assume people will use the back cameras more often.

      either Google is betting on AI

      Pretty much this:

      The output from each sensor is then combined to create a final high-quality image using digital image processing and machine learning. In this way, the negative impact of shooting through a screen is reduced.
