Smartphone maker Oppo has unveiled its newest flagship handheld, the Find X7 Ultra. Despite only being announced for release in China at the time of publication, the phone is still worth looking at because it features four 50-megapixel rear cameras and sports the biggest telephoto sensor in any phone, according to Oppo.

Oppo and Hasselblad, partners since 2022, will co-develop what they call the "next-generation of HyperTone camera systems" that, when complete, will "usher in a new era in computational photography."

After several smaller announcements, teases, and leaks, Oppo today has officially announced the much anticipated Find X5 Pro that was co-developed with Hasselblad for $1,450.

Oppo has announced a three-year partnership with camera maker Hasselblad to co-develop camera technologies for Oppo's Find X series smartphones. The announcement follows a similar arrangement between OnePlus and Hasselblad last year.

While Oppo recently revealed a lot during its Inno Day event this past week, it didn't provide any details on the expected Find X4 Pro smartphone other than it would come early next year. Luckily, a new design patent shows in detail what is likely to come.

Last week, Oppo teased that it would be releasing a smartphone that featured a retractable, telescoping camera. While the company has not officially announced it yet, it has revealed more information on the coming device.

Oppo has announced a new 6nm imaging NPU called the MariSilicon X which it says combines an advanced NPU, ISP, and multi-tier memory architecture that can make real-time RAW processing and 4K AI night video with live preview possible.

Oppo has published a short video that teases a coming smartphone that will feature a telescoping, retractable camera with a design that is reminiscent of compact point and shoots.

Oppo appears to be looking into the possibilities and benefits of placing a camera on the side of a smartphone. The design describes the use of a mirror system rather than integrating a separate dedicated sensor.

Oppo is poised to launch a special edition of its Find X3 Pro smartphone later this week in conjunction with Kodak. Called the "Photographer Edition," it is expected to kick off a partnership between the two brands.

The Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo today unveiled a number of new technologies for smartphone photography, including an 85-200mm continuous optical zoom, a next-gen RGBW sensor, a 5-axis OIS, and a next-gen under-screen camera.

Several companies have been grappling with the physical issues that come with hiding a selfie camera behind a display, but Oppo seems to have cracked the code. Its next-generation under-display camera appears to have no distinguishable downsides when compared to one in a notch or hole-punch.

OnePlus has merged with Oppo in a move that the company says is designed to integrate and streamline products thanks to shared resources. Both brands were already owned by the same parent company, but the move further tightens development operations between the two.

Smartphone manufacturer Oppo and National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore have partnered to produce a set of photos and videos of various at-risk animals whose unique colors are in danger of disappearing forever.

The global smartphone sensor market was not slowed down by the pandemic, as a new report states the segment saw a total revenue of $15 billion in 2020 which is up 13% year over year. Sony still dominates the field, but its once ironclad grip has slipped slightly.

A new set of renders posted to Voice indicate that Huawei, despite its recent struggles, is still innovating when it comes to phone and camera design. So much innovation, in fact, that the camera array on the coming P50 Pro looks very unusual.

Oppo announced its flagship Find X3 Pro smartphone earlier this week and focused the attention on its two 50-megapixel 10-bit cameras and billion color curved display. Those are great, but its 3-megapixel "microlens" camera might be the real star of the show.

Oppo has released all the details of the Find X3 Pro smartphone it teased earlier this month, and it looks impressive. The new flagship smartphone features a quad-camera array with two 10-bit 50-megapixel cameras and a billion color QHD+ curved display.

Huawei is feeling the pinch of its trade bans with the United States as a new report estimates that the company's market share in mainland China fell to 16% in January, a steep decline from 41% in the first quarter of 2020.

Oppo has announced that it will soon launch the Find X3 Pro, the follow-up to its Find X2 Pro that it claims will be the first to offer a billion color display for a "true-to-life, evocative, rich visual experience."

Multiple companies are apparently trying to solve the selfie camera notch problem in various ways. Oppo has a design they could implement as early as this year that allows a single pop-up camera module to capture photos both forward and backward out of a single unit using mirrors.

Needing to use a lower-resolution front-facing smartphone camera for selfies and video calls might be a thing of the past if Oppo acts on a recently-filed patent. The design within features a rear camera module that separates from the main camera body.

Chinese smartphone makers Oppo and Xiaomi both teased under-screen selfie cameras earlier this month, but Oppo just beat Xiaomi to the punch in officially announcing and demonstrating it.

To avoid the dreaded "camera notch" interrupting smartphone screens, some manufacturers have begun introducing pop-up or flip-up selfie cameras. But, thankfully, the future looks like it will be more elegant with the introduction of cameras hidden under the displays themselves.

Oppo is teasing an innovative new smartphone camera system it has created: one that offers a 10x optical "lossless" zoom. The latest reports say the module is already in mass production and the first phone packing it will be out within months.

The Chinese electronics company OPPO has just unveiled a new smartphone called the Find X. Featuring an edge-to-edge display covering 93.8% of the front, the Find X avoids having an iPhone X-style notch through an unusual design choice: the front-facing camera module is hidden and pops out of the top of the phone.

One of the major ways smartphone cameras fall short of even old point-and-shoots is zoom. How are you supposed to squeeze an optical zoom mechanism into that little space? Chinese company OPPO has figured it out.

Let's be honest, we all saw this one coming...

Smartphone manufacturer Oppo finally bit the bullet for the rest of the phone makers out there and did what they've all been wanting to do for years: they made the front camera better than the one on the back.

The Chinese electronics company OPPO yesterday announced that they've developed the world's first sensor-based image stabilizer for smartphones. The SmartSensor, as the technology is called, is also the world's smallest image stabilizer across all devices.

Oppo, the Chinese company behind some of the most unusual smartphones we've ever reported on, is back at it again with the N3. The successor to the N1 smartphone they released last September, the new N3 takes the lineup’s instantly recognizable swivel camera to the next level by giving it a motor.

Rumors have been swirling around about this one for a while, and it looks like they were both right and wrong. Announced yesterday, Oppo has officially taken the megapixel crown away from Nokia with its new Find 7... sort of... because this smartphone takes 50MP photos but does it with a 13MP sensor.

The DSLR megapixel war has slowed down dramatically over the past few years as companies focus on low-light capabilities and other components of the cameras. But it looks like someone forgot to tell the smartphone market.

Back in July, Chinese electronics company OPPO confirmed that it was working on an "N-Lens" line of camera-centric devices that would be the "most important flagship series for OPPO going forward."

Well, the first of these devices has officially arrived, and although it is still more of a smartphone with a camera than a camera that can make calls, the phone packs some interesting features, including (according to OPPO) the world's first rotating smartphone camera.

It looks like Sony isn't the only company interested in attaching some external camera hardware to your smartphone. According to a recent announcement, Chinese electronics company OPPO is making its own attachable lens cameras.

While smartphones have, especially of late, taken to blurring the lines between camera and phone, "smartcameras" like Samsung's Galaxy Camera flipped the idea on its head by putting a phone's operating system on a camera rather than the other way around.

Since then, Samsung has announced a few other options in the same milieu, (e.g. the Galaxy NX interchangeable lens camera and the 10x optical zoom Galaxy S4 Zoom) with fairly little in way of competition on that front. But Chinese electronics manufacturer OPPO is looking to move in on Samsung's territory.
