Not to mention having a hole in your screen when you just want to watch a video. It's a ridiculous idea, but funny to think about.

More seriously, I'm wondering if at some point the front-facing camera may be an intrinsic part of the screen. I've read that on-screen fingerprint sensors already use a kind of camera in the screen. If that were to become good enough to see images at a distance, that might actually work.

Both Xiaomi and Oppo shared videos of the in-display cameras working, but the videos are too low quality to make any kind of image quality determinations.

That coupled with a lack of even controlled lighting, best case sample images probably tells a lot about the image quality.
