The present disclosure provides a method for packaging a camera assembly. The method includes: providing a photosensitive chip; mounting an optical filter on the photosensitive chip; temporarily bonding the photosensitive chip and functional components on a carrier substrate, where the photosensitive chip has soldering pads facing away from the carrier substrate and the functional components have soldering pads facing toward the carrier substrate; forming an encapsulation layer covering the carrier substrate, the photosensitive chip, and the functional components, and exposing the optical filter; after the encapsulation layer is formed, removing the carrier substrate; and after the carrier substrate is removed, forming a redistribution layer structure on a side of the encapsulation layer facing away from the optical filter to electrically connect the soldering pads of the photosensitive chip with the soldering pads of the functional components.
