OPPO unveiled its 10X lossless zoom camera technology in Barcelona during the MWC 2019. The technology was well received, especially since the samples shared shows the technology is worth the sweat. As with other innovations, this technology might not stay exclusive to OPPO smartphones for long. Even before OPPO launch a phone packing the feature in April there are indications that Huawei could launch the P30 Pro with a periscope lens that would enable the device to achieve better 10X zoom photos.
Huawei’s Brue Lee who is the VP of the mobile phone product line may have shared the samples captured from the device on Weibo. The Huawei exec recently shared four photos of the 5G signal tower that the company and Vodafone installed on the GSMA venue. A careful look at the samples showed that they were captured at different focal lengths. This includes 10x zoom, 5x zoom and no zoom, and a super wide-angle photo. This is a clear signal that the P30 Pro will get a 10X zoom function.
The 10X zoom camera sample is surprisingly very sharp. There is no noise or blur on the picture instead, it comes out very sharp. Huawei P20 Pro had an exceptionally powerful rear camera setup but we expect the p30 Pro t raise the bar higher. The device is said to pack a new CMOS sensor which will team up with the periscope camera in order to achieve 10x optical zoom. At the same time, the P30 Pro is also expected to be equipped with four cameras, one of which is a TOF 3D sensor, which can realize 3D face recognition and 3D modelling. Huawei is expected to launch the model in March.
