Samsung has been testing under-screen cameras for quite a while now, and one of the earliest rumors surrounding the upcoming Galaxy S21 was that it would be the first from the company to feature this solution. Unfortunately, developing an under-screen camera comes with its fair share of compromises and according to a display analyst, the Galaxy S21 lineup won’t feature it for a number of reasons.

Another update from DSCC analyst Ross Young gives us further insight into Samsung’s rumored plan with the Galaxy S21. One reason why an under-screen camera won’t be a part of the configuration is due to mass production problems, resulting in low yields, making it an expensive procedure. Even if Samsung did manage to mass produce a custom under-screen camera for the Galaxy S21, the image quality from the front camera would be degraded, as highlighted by Xiaomi’s General Manager.
