I don't think this is nearly enough of description. We have phones
with displays and cameras at both sides, where both sides can be used
to operate the system.

We have phone with display spanning both sides -- Mi Max.

We have Galaxy Fold.

What is front side when device can be used in different
configurations?

Could we instead say that it is "main" vs "selfie" camera?

Notebooks usually have just "selfie" camera, tablets often have
both... DSLRs have just "main" camera.

Best regards,
