OnePlus 7 Pro knows when it's dropped and retracts pop-up selfie camera

The OnePlus 7 Pro has a pop-up selfie camera that allows the phone to ditch the iPhone-style notch or Samsung-style selfie camera cutout.The only concern I had was that the pop-up selfie camera could break if I dropped the phone.OnePlus says the OnePlus 7 Pro detects when it's dropped, and automatically retracts the selfie camera if it's in use.I tested to see if the pop-up selfie camera could retract itself quickly enough when dropped from chest height, which is about five feet for me.The verdict？ It retracted most of the way, but not fully.Visit BusinessInsider.com for more stories.One of the most distinguishing features on the new OnePlus 7 Pro smartphone is its pop-up selfie camera that extends out from the top edge of the phone when you want to take a selfie.It eliminates the need for the phone to have an iPhone-style notch, or the Samsung-style selfie camera cutout, and the result is the OnePlus 7 Pro lets the Android operating system and your apps breathe a little easier on the screen, like they did before notches and cutouts were popularized.But the question that kept creeping into my mind was: Isn't this extending camera going to break if I drop it？OnePlus thought of that, and gave the OnePlus 7 Pro awareness of when it's experiencing a drop.
