Silver ring around selfie camera

[Adi0]

Why do budget devices like A, FE and etc. series have silver rings around the selfie cameras?

No idea but it stands out like a sore thumb now you mentioned it. In a few years time the selfie cam will be under usable screen space and therefore completely hidden until needed. Transparent screen tech already exists, the adoption and usage in phones is not far behind at all now

I'm sorry for that haha.

Maybe it's for the selfie teenagers youth so they'd know where the camera is always? Lol. 

Because when I was using my Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus people didn't know where the camera was when we were taking selfie. 

Or it's just there to differentiate different lines of phones...?

Maybe to make camera stand out but not an attractive feature in my view. Did you have an issue with the S10 Plus?

[Adi0]

No, no issues with S10+.

@Adi0  Just wondered, seemed you were not using the S10 Plus now  (or do you still have it?)

[Adi0]

It was stolen on 04.08. so yeah, I don't have it anymore 😢. I had to buy the cheapest option as replacement. Hope I'll get the S22...

@Adi0  oh so sorry to hear that.  Hopefully you will be able to get a more premium device at some point.
