Why don’t brands make phones with a flash on the front anymore?
Until a few years ago, it was normal to find that some phones had a flash next to the front camera. It is a component that is currently not easy to find in the most modern mobile devices. In this note, we tell you why the manufacturer brands left out this feature that thousands of users used for their selfies.
The main reason is that it’s not a component that everyone wants to see on their phones and those that do represent a small niche.
On the other hand, the manufacturers, in their attempt to reduce the edges of the front, leave the flash without space to be inserted. The problem with incorporating the element is that its presence will prevent the rest of the components, such as cameras or sensors, from being larger. For this reason, the yields are limited and the quality of the image, for example, is reduced.
