Poll: You only want more under-display camera phones if image quality is good
August 06, 2025
There are several phones on the market with under-display selfie cameras, such as theGalaxy Z Fold 3,Xiaomi Mi Mix 4, andZTE Axon 30. But it’s fair to say that this tech hasn’t matured just yet.
Do you want to see more phones with the technology this year though? We posed this question earlier this week, and here’s what you said.
Do you want to see more phones with under-display selfie cameras?
We posted this poll in an article about Google’s latestunder-display selfie camera patent, accruing just over 1,000 votes as of writing. It turns out that almost 60% of respondents want to see more phones with under-display selfie cameras in 2022, but only if image quality is actually good.
This makes sense, as there’s still a noticeable gulf in image quality between phones with under-display selfie cameras and front-facing cameras in a punch-hole/notch/bezel. Nowhere is this more apparent than with the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which has an under-display camera on the foldable screen and a camera in a punch-hole on the smartphone display. I found a massive quality gap between the two cameras when I used the foldable, with the under-display shooter taking shots that looked like they were smeared with Vaseline.

Interestingly enough, the next most popular pick was a tie. Exactly 16.3% of voters said they want to see more under-display selfie cameras in 2022 even if the image quality was poor, while 16.3% of respondents said they want more under-display selfie cameras if image quality was merely okay. In other words, a combined 32.6% of polled readers want to see more phones with an under-display selfie camera in 2022 even if picture quality is lacking.
We’re guessing that people who voted for this option either don’t take selfies very often or simply value an uninterrupted screen experience.
Finally, 7.7% of readers say they simply don’t want to see under-display selfie camera phones in 2022 because they don’t care about the technology. Interestingly enough, a couple of comments suggest that companies need to fix things like under-display fingerprint sensors first.
