Sony wants to put front camera sensors behind your smartphone's display. Touchless gestures could be more accurate this way

When you're thinking about a front-facing camera, you immediately visualize that small, round sensor that's usually found above a phone's, or a tablet's display. But what if this camera wouldn't have to be next to the display. Sony has recently filed a patent application that wants to give us exactly that: smartphones with front-facing cameras situated behind the display. According to the patent application, Sony actually intends to put four sensors behind the display: the proximity sensor, illuminance sensor, fingerprint sensor, and the actual camera sensor.
