Gimbal to smartphone camera?

APEX 2020 is a concept smartphone announced by Chinese smartphone maker Vivo.

Looking at the video, the Apex 2020 uses a rear camera that employs a gimbal mechanism. Smartphones already have an optical image stabilization function, but if a gimbal is employed, it is also stronger against shaking caused by rotation. But how to embed the gimbal mechanism in a thin smartphone. In addition, the 16 megapixel telephoto camera is capable of stepless zooming from 5 to 7.5 times. If it is realized in the same way as a camera zoom lens, it can be said to be quite innovative.

In addition, the screen is a 120-degree edgeless display, with the display part wrapping a little from the side of the body to the rear. The display features a full-screen design with no notches or pinchholes, with a camera underneath the display.

Vivo’s Apex series will not be released as it is, but if it is a smartphone with a camera under the display, there is a possibility that it will appear in several companies within this year.
