OnePlus 7 Pro’s pop-up camera
Let’s start with another OnePlus feature that is no longer with us. The OnePlus 7 Pro was an impressive flagship launch from the company. But it arrived before OEMs figured out how to implement the punch-hole camera. To deliver on its promises of an all-screen display, OnePlus introduced a front-facing pop-up camera on the 7 Pro instead. It would peek out when you wanted to shoot a selfie or engage in video chat, and would make a cutesy whirring sound every time.
Of course, every gimmick has its caveats. The pop-up camera wasn’t the most robust, and some people complained about lint and debris getting into the module after some use. Not to mention, it’s not very repairable.
