OPPO already announced that it will introduce its
flagship Find X smartphone on June 19th at an event in Paris. Today the company
said that the phone will include new technologies that were introduced for the
past four years. It also said that these will help define Find X and future
generations of OPPO smartphones to come.
As rumored the phone will come with dual rear
cameras with 5X optical zoom that was first introduced at the MWC 2017 This
will use a module that uses a periscope structure to divert light 90-degrees
through prism into a hidden telephoto lens. OPPO says that the 5x dual camera
module is only 5.7mm thick, which is even 10% thinner than a traditional 2x
optical zoom lens in a smartphone.
It will also include Super VOOC Flash Charge
technology that was introduced at the MWC 2016. This is based on a brand new low voltage pulse algorithm and exclusive
customized super battery developed by OPPO, that can fully charge a 2500 mAh
battery within 15 minutes. A recent certification at the 3C in China revealed
the same 5V/4A (20W) charger for the phone, same as the VOOC Flash Charge used
in OPPO’s current phones. It is not clear how this would work.
Earlier this year OPPO announced 5G pilot program
with Qualcomm Technologies, and it will be one of the first smartphone
manufacturers to launch 5G handsets in 2019. Last month the OPPO Global Research Institute (Shenzhen)
successfully demonstrated the world’s First 5G Video Call Demo using 3D Structured
Light Technology.
The demonstration reproduced a 3D portrait image on
a remote receiver, using portrait information collected from the
structured-light 3D camera, on an OPPO smartphone and 5G NR terminal prototypes
by Qualcomm Technologies. OPPO already said that it will commercialize the application
of 3D structured light technology in smartphones and bring the groundbreaking
technology in approximately 6 months. The Find X might not come with this
technology, but it might be available in the future.
OPPO said
that it is committed to providing innovative application scenarios for new
technologies in the future, with a particular focus on user needs, for its
consumers around the world.
