Oppo, as promised,
has announced its all-new 5x Smartphone Photography Technology dubbed
5x Dual Camera Zoom system, which will debut on the company's phones
later this year. Oppo’s big Mobile World Congress announcement wasn’t an actual phone. Sure it arrived in a prototype roughly the size and shape of a phone,
but it wasn’t really. It was proof of concept, the company showing off
the imagine technology it’s spent the last year working on.
Oppo's new 5x Dual Camera Zoom system sports a periscope-style setup,
and is claimed to kill the need of camera bump at the back with its
sleek 5.7mm thickness. Unfortunately, the company has not announced when
the new camera tech can be expected to debut on its phones. It's
however highly possible that Oppo uses the new 5x Dual Camera Zoom system on its flagship smartphone.That’s not to say it wasn’t impressive. The company has apparently
cracked the code on bringing 5x zoom to the back of a handset without
adding a massive camera bump. The answer, it seems, is two lenses at two different focal
points.
The company refers to the system as “lossless zoom,” offering a 5x zoom that does a much better job than most phone cameras of getting in tight without massively degrading the image. The 5x Dual Camera Zoom system packs more than 50 parts which have been stacked in a 5.7mm module. Oppo's 5x Dual Camera Zoom system diverts light through a prism into a stabilised telephoto lens set at a 90-degree angle. The company claims that the result is lossless 5x zoom, and it utilises Oppo's "proprietary image fusion technology for digital zoom."
Of course, that feature alone won’t be enough to sell too many people on a new handset. And while the company has, by its own account, aggressively patented the tech, it would be nice to see it implement more widely on different devices. Of course, Oppo seems to know what it’s doing of late. The company’s seen massive growth in its native China over the past year, growing sales 122-percent from 2015 to 2016 to become the top handset maker in the world’s largest smartphone market.
