OPPO today
introduced its Under-Screen Camera technology for smartphones at its MWC
Shanghai event. This uses a customized camera module, an enhanced translucent
panel material combined with advanced processing algorithms to take images
without a notch or motorized camera, while keeping the body thin.
Normally, the light passing through the screen will
be lost. Therefore, the actual light received by the camera under the screen is
less than half, which makes the image captured to lose color and details. To
overcome this OPPO has used ‘multi-algorithm optimization’ for haze removal,
HDR and white balance to ensure the best picture quality.
It will support several camera functions including
smart beauty and filters in the future, said the company, however it didn’t say
when we can expect the first phone with this technology. OPPO also showcased MeshTalk, a
decentralized short-range communications solution that enables you to talk and
send messages without the need for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cellular data when up to
3km with another device. It also doesn’t need base stations or other servers,
since it uses a custom, low power chipset
that enables a LAN network and relay communication system between multiple
OPPO devices when they are within range.
