Oppo has unveiled three new breakthroughs in the world of mobile photography and two of them are coming as early as later this year.
Oppo on Thursday held its second camera-centric event in India to highlight its next breakthroughs in the field of mobile photography. After announcing the next generation of under-screen camera technology earlier this month, Oppo is now introducing what it calls continuous optical zoom. This technology is claimed to be a lot better than what conventional telephoto sensors offer because of a new 85-200mm lens that will produce crisp images at every focal length, without transitioning to digital zoom or needing software-driven image sharpening. Simon Liu, director of imaging at Oppo, explained that Oppo’s existing telephoto lenses use periscope lens technology to achieve high zoom levels while ensuring the quality is not compromised. To take the quality to the next level — close to the level of a professional camera, Oppo is changing how lenses are made. Instead of all polymer layers, Oppo’s next telephoto camera will use glass and plastic lens technology, which includes aspheric glass moulding (2GM+5P) to “significantly boost its optical properties”.
