Metalenz could help flatten out huge smartphone camera bumps in the future

 It seems that a new company called Metalenz has recently been spotted, offering a new type of lens that could potentially reduce the size of the rear camera bump on future smartphones. While not much is known in regards to which smartphones will come equipped with the new lens, it does give us a better idea on how the smartphones could look like in the future.

As for how it functions, the Metalenz’s technology function by using a single lens that’s built on a glass wafer up to 3x3 millimetre in size with nanostructures that are designed to bend light onto the sensor. As of now, it seems that Metalenz is currently working with a smartphone partner which will most likely unveil a device equipped with the new lens technology in the near future.
