In July this year, a rumor emerged from popular tipster Digital Chat Station that Realme had teamed up with an established camera brand. It was later revealed by another tipster who had claimed that Realme collaborated with the well-known photography brand Kodak. Apparently, Realme’s sister brand OPPO is also in collabo with Kodak, going by a recent rumor.
Popular tipster, Digital Chat Station has disclosed via Weibo that Oppo’s next flagship will be using two of Sony’s new IMX766 sensors. The tipster further disclosed that the Chinese tech giant was teaming up with Kodak to produce a smartphone that reflects Kodak’s classic camera design.
The camera is said to have at its heart the Sony IMX766 50MP, 1/1.5″ sensor. The camera will have an ultrawide camera with a large sensor similar to that of the Find X3 Pro. The device is also tipped to feature a 13MP telephoto lens with 2x zoom and a 3MP microscope camera just like the Find X3 Pro.
The news comes as a surprise considering that Kodak has long abandoned its camera business. The company went bankrupt in 2012, a development that saw it shift its focus to hardware and software for printing solutions.
There is no official word yet about the OPPO flagship but we expect more details to emerge in the coming days.
