Chinese handset manufacturer OPPO has announced that it will reveal a “5x smartphone photography technology” at the MWC 2017 trade show. The company has confirmed it will unveil the tech on February 27 in Barcelona, though from its invite it’s unclear if it will be hosting a separate event to do so. It is also promoting the unveiling on its social properties.
With the tag lines “Go 5x further” and “So close you can feel it”, it appears the company’s “5x smartphone photography” is referring to some sort of optical zoom feature. Oppo’s new smartphone photography technology can be expected to debut on the company’s future handsets to be released this year.
