The iPhone Duo's inner screen features an under-display front camera, marking the first time Apple has used this technology on an iPhone. Apple confirmed the camera supports 1080p video recording but was silent on photo quality. Gizmodo reported it is a 4-megapixel camera and criticized the photos as "low-res, washed out, and just not sharp at all." The camera struggles with selfies and video calls, which "look muddy."
Marques Brownlee called the camera "very first gen" and described the photo quality as "trash." He noted that Samsung previously used under-display cameras but abandoned them due to poor image quality, speculating whether Apple may follow suit.
Reviewers say the camera performs better at video than photos and disappears into the background during use, which is a plus. The iPhone Duo also includes a 12-megapixel front-facing camera on the outer display, offering much better selfie quality. Additionally, users can unfold the Duo and use the rear cameras for selfies by moving camera controls to the outer screen as a viewfinder.
