Foxconn, in turn, will assemble the first folding iPhones. Another source said Apple is choosing between OLED and MicroLED displays for its clamshell smartphone. In addition, the choice of display will affect the manufacturing method of the upcoming device. While MicroLEDs are superior in performance, the company has yet to find out if they are suitable for use in the upcoming iPhones.
It is worth saying that Samsung, Huawei and Motorola have already launched their clamshell smartphones on the market. At the same time, while Apple is just about to release its first flip phone, other companies intend to release devices of the 2nd and 3rd generation. In addition, Chinese companies such as Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo are also planning to release their first folding smartphones. OPPO recently unveiled its OPPO X 2021 concept smartphone with a sliding display. However, for now, this is a conceptual device, which may not yet receive a commercial version.

Samsung is not considering adding under-screen front cameras to the Galaxy S23 line of smartphones. They were not in the Galaxy S22 either. This is stated on the Korean site Naver. A user under the pseudonym Ianzuk, citing sources in the supply chain, claims that Samsung does not have much confidence in the quality of this technology.
The source believes that the under-screen cameras do not yet match the quality of conventional front cameras. ZTE and Xiaomi also had similar problems. They also experimented with under-screen solutions, but failed to solve all the problems.
Even with the $1,799 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, the quality of selfie shots was lower than with a regular camera. Therefore, according to the source, Samsung will not release a premium line with such cameras.
It was previously reported that the front cameras in the Galaxy S23 will receive more powerful image sensors with a resolution of 12 megapixels. And these smartphones are credited with the main camera with a resolution of 200 megapixels.
