Which smartphones are equipped with slide-out cameras?
Since the bezel-less smartphones trended, companies have already been incorporating ways to feature a full-on display no bezel smartphone. While some stick to placing the front camera on the most top portion of the screen, some like the Samsung Galaxy A8s think of placing a hole on the screen for the selfie cam. However, the method that has been used (but not that new already)… is incorporating slide-out/pop-out cameras.
