“Oppo teases new camera tech and 5G smartphone at MWC 2019 preshow”

Chinese manufacturer, Oppo shared details about its upcoming smartphone at a Saturday press conference ahead of MWC 2019. The company confirmed that the yet-to-be-named device will run the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip and the Snapdragon X50 modem, enabling 5G connectivity. The smartphone will also have an interesting triple-lens camera configuration, which includes lenses offering up to 10x “lossless zoom.”

The camera’s lossess compression will allow for size reduction on image files without sacrificing image quality. This means the camera should be able to capture images at up to ten times zoom without using a lot of storage and while producing photos at the same quality of a standard size and resolution image.

Oppo confirmed that the device’s camera set up will include a 48-megapixel high-resolution main camera, a 120 degree ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto lens, which will allow the system to cover focal lengths between 16mm-160mm.

The manufacturer has shared several test images captured in the 10x lossess zoom versus images captured in wide angle, to show the similarity in quality, crispness, and color accuracy. Many at the Oppo conference were able to test out prototypes of the camera.

However, the device won’t be ready for market until the second quarter of 2019, which is between April and June. Oppo is working with Swisscom, Telstra and Optus in Australia, and Singtel in Singapore for the device’s initial 5G launch, while the smartphone is expected to release with China Mobile later in the summer. The device will not be released in the U.S.

Design wise, the 5G is expected to resemble the 2018 Oppo Find X.
