Samsung Patent Shows Smartwatch with Camera in the Center of Display

Last November, Samsung filed a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a smartwatch with camera in its center. In this published yet only recently picked-up patent, it appears that the watch's camera would be built directly into its display and features an optical zoom.

Similarly to the quick access apps on Samsung's Edge panel, the smartwatch makes use of a wristband display with controls to open things like Settings, Gallery, Email, Music, and Alarms. Bizarre ideas, but with Samsung's release of its foldable display technology in the near future, this wristband could definitely be seen. However, as always, patients aren't proof of actual product development. And this type of design has no guarantee that will reach commercial availability.
