Wouldn't that require the camera to be located nearer to the middle of the screen, where the on-screen eyes of the other party would be? I wouldn't mind a slightly perceptible camera dot at the top of the screen, but if it was in the middle it might appear pretty conspicuous.
It will need to move. On anything bigger than a phone, the video chat may be in an off-center window. And i guess multi-window group chats are a problem too.
well, that will require making a hole in the battery
What we talk in the industry as a new de facto standard is called "1B 1C layout" — a layout with 1 board and one battery cell edge to edge. A maximum by how much you can move the camera is determined by how much you are ready to sacrifice battery size.
