OPPO showcased a prototype smartphone bearing the 10X lossless zoom feature on Saturday at MWC 2018. The company had hinted during the event that the smartphone would be launched in Q2 2019. However, OPPO’s VP has shared a teaser on his Weibo page which hints that the device will specifically drop on April. That is just about two months from now.

In addition, Twitter leakster Roland Quandt who was at the exhibition shared a hands-on video of the device in action. He also revealed more details of the feature in the video. As a reminder, the 10x optical zoom uses a periscopic lens system. Although it seems the device has a triple camera setup but in the real sense, there are just two visible sensors; a 48MP main + wide-angle camera, both with OIS. The third lens is a prism, hence the shape is not round like the others. Light travels through the prism where it meets about five lenses before hitting the image sensor. The camera interface comes with a slider which changes the zoom level as it slides up.

The camera samples captured at the even were also shared and we must say they look pretty impressive. The image quality isn’t exactly the same at the different zoom levels but the difference in quality isn’t very different compared to if the feature isn’t available. Achieving 10X zoom on a smartphone camera would have meant sacrificing the picture clarity but that isn’t the case here.

The device info section seems to point at the device bearing the name OPPO R11s but this isn’t actually the Snapdragon 660-powered R11s. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 855 chipset. The device will also have a resolution of 2340X1080 pixels. You may want to check out the camera samples and hands-on video from below.

Today, OPPO held its Innovation Event in Barcelona where it released more details about its 10x lossless zoom technology.

OPPO’s 10x lossless zoom technology will appear in a triple camera setup that includes a 16MP ultra-wide angle camera with a 120° FOV, a 48MP primary sensor, and the telephoto lens with the 10x zoom technology.

OPPO says it used a periscope module for the telephoto lens to keep the camera setup from being thick. The periscope module features two D-cut lenses and a prism. The Chinese manufacturer adds that both the main camera and the telephoto zoom lens have OIS to reduce blurry images even when you zoom in. The whole setup has a focal length of 16mm to 160mm and a thickness of 6.76 mm.

OPPO revealed the 10x lossless zoom module is ready for mass production and will appear in its first device in Q2 2019. However, it didn’t hint at the name of the device. OPPO also provided camera samples taken with the super-wide-angle camera and the 10x lossless zoom telephoto lens.
