Here's the OnePlus 7 Pro's pop-up selfie camera in action. It's like a prairie dog peeking its head out to check out the landscape.

Apart from amazement, one of my first thoughts about the OnePlus 7 Pro's pop-up selfie camera was "This thing is going to break off if I drop the phone."

Thankfully, OnePlus had already thought of that. The OnePlus 7 Pro can detect a drop when its pop-up selfie camera is deployed, and it'll automatically retract the camera.
But the big question is, does the pop-up selfie camera scamper back into its hiding place quickly enough when the OnePlus 7 Pro is accidentally dropped. The answer? Not quite.

At the end of the day, there's no telling how durable the pop-up selfie camera on the OnePlus 7 Pro is actually going to be, whether the phone lands directly on the exposed selfie camera, or at an angle.
It's an unproven feature that adds more breaking points to a smartphone, but I welcome the pop-up selfie camera innovation from OnePlus.
