OPPO may not always be making the smartphone headlines, aside from the unique OPPO Find X with its elevating cameras, but it has always been putting out interesting and desirable components that eventually make their way to its smartphones. Its Super VOOC, for example, is still the fast charging tech to beat. Right at the start of MWC 2019, the Chinese manufacturer has unveiled its latest masterpiece, a 10x lossless optical zoom that could make DxOmark’s top-ranking phones green with envy.
High levels of optical zoom are difficult to pull off on a mobile device. On large cameras like DSLRs, that is achieved using multiple lenses that result in a bulk that you can’t afford on a thin smartphone. And so OPPO devised a method to cram multiple lenses in such a small space using a periscope-like structure.
It’s new 10x lossless zoom utilizes a triple lens setup with a 48 megapixel sensor acting as the main camera.
