Smartphones today have been having a lot of form factor issues because of the front-facing camera. Not only does this require a bit of screen real estate, but it can also be annoying how manufacturers implement this feature.


For example, a lot of people have complained about the notch in smartphones where the front-facing camera is kept. And while there are manufacturers that have created ways to bypass this issue by making mechanisms to hide the camera. But one manufacturer decided to change the game.


Nubia X, a Chinese-developed smartphone, came up with the idea of eliminating the selfie cam or front-facing camera altogether. So, how will users take selfies then? This is what Nubia X has that other phones don’t have. Most cameras have two cameras, one on each side. But the Nubia X only has one camera at the back. Also, there’s a fully functional touchscreen at the back of the phone.

This new design allows users to take perfect selfies using the phone’s primary and only camera. Since primary cameras are often superior in image quality compared to the front-facing camera, this results to better quality selfies.


And because there isn’t any room required for a front-facing camera, the bezels in the main screen are significantly smaller compared to other smartphones. Being the first dual-screen phone certainly answers the problem of notches. Will this be the new trend for smartphones everywhere? Only time will tell.
