Everyone seems to be putting large Megapixel cameras in their smartphones lately, and even OPPO is joining the club with its new OPPO F11 Pro. But what we are really looking forward to its 10X zoom camera phone which is expected to be unveiled in April. OPPO’s VP had something to add about its upcoming 10X zoom flagship phone earlier today.
The phone that’s expected to be launched in April is said to feature a large 48MP camera module. But what’s interesting is that the module will be flat, and won’t protrude out of the back unlike its rivals.
Adding a large 48MP sensor does have its disadvantages. For example, if you look at the Xiaomi Mi 9 with a 48MP sensor on its back, the module protrudes quite significantly. However, OPPO’s VP Brian confirmed that the module on its upcoming model will lay flat, despite having a triple camera setup with such a large sensor on board.
This is actually not that surprising. This same phone, which could feature 5G tech, will also feature the company’s new 10X Zoom tech that it showcased back in January. Considering the specs revealed back then, this new phone should feature a 48MP primary camera, a 120-degree ultra-wide camera, and a periscopic telephoto camera. What makes this setup even more interesting is the fact that the triple camera module is just 6.76mm thick! Even the volume is limited by squeezing the autofocus motors for the top two cameras in one location.
Furthermore, we know that the phone is expected to feature the flagship Snapdragon 855 chipset on board. The company expects this phone to be a hit as it’s readying close to two million in stock to avoid shortages in the initial sale period.
