Google Patents a Phone With An Under-Display Front Camera Two weeks ago, a patent for an Amazon Halo-like smartwatch from Google surfaced on the internet. Now, a set of design patents hinting at a smartphone with an under-display camera by the company appeared on the USPTO (United States Patents and Trademarks Office) website. The publication, spotted by Patently Apple, reveals that there are a total of four similar patents with slight variations numbered D903,618, D903,619, D903,620, and D903,622, respectively. All the patents have sketches for smartphones that do not feature a display cutout for the selfie camera. Moreover, some sketches indicate an under-display earpiece.
