OPPO is all set to host its annual OPPO INNO DAY event in China next week, where the Chinese smartphone maker will showcase cutting-edge smartphone hardware, concept products, and other technological achievements. Ahead of the event, OPPO has teased a self-developed retractable camera that could debut on an upcoming OPPO flagship.
OPPO’s global Twitter account has shared a teaser video of an in-house retractable camera solution, giving us a sneak peek at this coming camera tech. The teaser video shows an unspecified OPPO smartphone featuring a retractable camera structure that allows the lens to physically move in and out.
Finally, the teaser reveals that the camera in question has a 1/1.58-inch sensor, a 50mm equivalent focal length, and an f/2.4 aperture. OPPO didn’t share any other technical details of its retractable camera. The retractable camera may allow OPPO to offer real optical zoom from the main camera without having to use a secondary telephoto or periscope lens.
