@sandorbence2067 Жыл бұрын
It's quite common to have holes like this on the screen for the proximity sensor for recent phones wiht thin bezels. You have to put them somewhere. And I still don't see what the big deal is, you'll have a camera that's visible anyway that can record at any time. Since Andriod 12, you have a camera and microphone indicator in the system anyway (up to you if you trust it or not) and it's not like you can just tape off your camera with the whole screen around it. The only safe option was the motorized retractable cameras, but even then the microphones could listen if you want to be paraniod.
@KazeMemaryu Жыл бұрын
I don't think that is the issue at hand. The problem there is that this can be an uninformed surveillance method, which can be seen as wiretapping, depending on circumstances. There are special phone cases to cover the cameras, and plenty of unofficial apps to restrict mic activities, and no company should be compelled to install extra hidden hardware, except with malicious intent of breaching privacy beyond the ability of the user.
@sandorbence2067 Жыл бұрын
@@KazeMemaryu The possibility has been there for a long time, it's something you can do with pretty much all OLED screens as they are so thin by design. I still don't think this is an issue as if any reputable brand would try to do this and were found out, they would look at serious fines, lawsuits and potential bans (just look what happened to Huawei for a lot less). There are easier methods to manipulate the already existing cameras, mics or just install some sort of malware/spyware app or backdoor on your system. Or just add the extra camera and sell it with as a feature.

There are a couple of options if you wanna keep full control of when you're being recorded, at least there were a few years back. One type of linux based phone had mechanical switches to turn on and off the microphone, camera and bluetooth at least.
