Oppo is introducing 10x optical zoom camera on January 16

Two years ago, Oppo attended MWC 2017 but didn’t showcase a smartphone. Instead, the company chose to go with mobile technologies, announcing the world’s first dual camera with 5x zoom. Now the company is ready to go even further and is sending out media invites for its 10x lossless zoom solution. The event will take place in Beijing, China, on January 16.

The current 5x setup is essentially a 5P lens, followed by a 90-degree angular prism that directs the light to a vertically positioned camera sensor. The OIS unit is put on the other end, so it would work even when the zoom is

maxed out.

Chinese sources say there is scarce information if Oppo is launching an actual market-ready smartphone or is just demoing a new technology. Since we are yet to see their phone with 5x zoom hit the shelves, the 10x introduction is likely to be on a prototype device.
