As per As per revealed patents, it seems Oppo is preparing to up the ante with a 10x hybrid zoom on its next phones — the Oppo F19 and F19 Pro, which may or may not appear at this year’s MWC event in Barcelona.

It may be expensive to mass-produce, it may be hard to get the technology to perform up to standard, or they could be patent-blocked. For now, let’s hope we can get to see the 10x zoom at the upcoming MWC!

The invitation has a graphic that hints at the number „10“ and starts with the headline „See you“. So, speculation says that the company will reveal its upgrade to the Hybrid Zoom tech there and possibly announce the first phones to bear it.
