Hua-Who? OPPO's New Smartphone Is Capable Of 60x Digital Zoom!

With consumers slowly ditching big DSLR cameras for something that they could fit in their pockets, smartphone makers are in a race against each other to introduce the best and the greatest smartphone cameras.

We've all probably seen and heard of how powerful HUAWEI P30 Pro's zooming capabilty is, and how Google's Pixel 3 are producing great photographs despite only having two rear cameras.

Now, there's a new contender in the battle for smartphone camera supremacy: OPPO.

The Chinese smartphone giant recently launched its revolutionary device, the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom.

Oppo Reno Series Product Specialist, Ray Wong, said the company’s Reno series is about “seeing the world from a completely new perspective” and the Reno 10x zoom will please photography enthusiasts.

"Oppo Reno has two models, one a standard version and another, the 10x zoom. The two are special models for cameras and design.

"For the 10x zoom camera feature, it has a 10 times hybrid zoom and a 60 times digital zoom capability that ensures picture quality,” he explained.

The Reno 10x Zoom also features a 6.6-inch AMOLED display with a screen ratio of up to 93.1 per cent.

Reno 10x Zoom boasts three rear cameras: a 48 megapixel main lens, a 13 megapixel telephoto lens and an eight megapixel ultra-wide lens.

The basic Reno, meanwhile, only has two rear cameras: a 48MP main lens and a 5MP secondary sensor.

Additionally, the latest functionality of the Ultra 2.0 Night Mode further enhances image clarity through composite sound reduction and High Definition Resolution (HDR) technology.

The phone also comes with stereo speakers, three microphones for sound capture, Near Field Communication (NFC) and other hardware accessories.

The one area that the OPPO Reno series has an advantage over its competitors is its price tag.

The basic OPPO Reno is priced at RM1,999, while the Reno 10x zoom is priced at RM3,399.
