OPPO Zooms in on New 5G Smartphone Era at Innovation Event

OPPO today hosted its first European Innovation Event in Barcelona, Spain, showcasing a range of new mobile innovations and technologies for 2019.

Camera innovation gets closer to future
At the Innovation Event, OPPO showcased the world’s first 10x lossless zoom camera. The breakthrough technology represents another industry first from OPPO, giving users the opportunity to take professional style photographs, without fear of loss of quality when zooming.

10x lossless zoom is a new technology created with industry-leading camera specifications including a triple-lens camera structure consisting of a telephoto lens, ultra-wide-angle lens, and main camera. To provide further value to users, OPPO also introduced Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on both the main camera and the telephoto lens to achieve higher, anti-shake accuracy that brings people closer to the world around them so that they never miss the unmissable.

Speaking at the event, Kevin Cho, Managing Director at OPPO New Zealand said: “As a brand, OPPO is driven by customer insight and developing new technologies to meet their everyday needs. We have been investing heavily in innovation with a huge commitment to R&D in areas such as image beautification technology, 5G, AI, AR and VR.

“With 10x lossless zoom, our mission was to develop a camera technology that would bring customers closer and let them capture content in a way that no other smartphone manufacturer has to date. We believe we’ve achieved that.”
