Oppo says it will launch a phone with whopping 10X lossless zoom camera by June

Oppo is kicking off MWC proceedings this year with two new anuncements – a crazy camera tech that will allow a whopping 10X lossless zoom in smartphones and its first 5G-rey smartphone. While former will be out in an Oppo flagship phone in Q2 2019, Oppo is t revealing a tentative timeline of release for its 5G smartphone just yet. 

Of course, Oppo won’t be only company talking about 5G at MWC 2019. Every prominent smartphone player – from Xiaomi to LG – is set to anunce ir 5G phones at annual tre event. But Oppo’s 10X lossless zoom camera tech is surely unique - giving a good he start to MWC.   

Oppo says its 10X lossless zoom camera tech is w rey for prime-time. While it did t name any third-party brand that would possibly employ it, Oppo has confirmed that it will itself launch a flagship phone with 10X zoom by June this year. 

Oppo’s 10X lossless zoom camera tech is a grual progression of its 5X zoom that company h anunced at MWC last year. It basically uses three cameras to achieve golden 10X zoom figure – a 48MP high-resolution main camera, a 120-degree ultra-wide camera and a periscopic telephoto camera. camera trio has been designed to cover a focal range of 16mm to 160mm – for a maximum of 10x zoom. 

Oppo is touting two aspects of its new camera tech. Both main camera and telephoto camera come with optical im stabilization, with latter offering up to 73 per cent better stabilization accuracy over its existing 5X zoom tech – that's up to 0.001445 degrees in actual numbers. Moreover, telephoto camera features two D-cut optical lenses arranged in a periscope fashion that allows Oppo to keep thickness in check – Oppo says it has been able to fit everything inside a 6.76mm module, while conventional methods would have entailed in at least 15mm of thickness. 

Oppo is also packaging autofocus motors for top two cameras into one – saving up to 13 per cent more in process. While we can’t picture camera bump on this one yet, it’s safe to say that Oppo’s tight compartmentalization of triple camera module means it can’t say that it skimped down on or things like hephone jack for instance just so it could fit a 10X zoom camera in its future smartphones.  

At its MWC 2019 keyte, Oppo also briefly showed off its first 5G phone. Although it did t share many details, it is certain that processor inside will be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855.
