Earlier, OPPO teased the prototype unit of their upcoming smartphone with 10x lossless zoom technology.

It is a phone with a 48MP primary sensor paired with 16MP 120-degree ultra wide-angle lens, and two D-Cut lenses which was assembled like a periscope-like lens.
It also comes Dual OIS image stabilization for the primary camera and the wide lens with 0.001445-degree of stabilization precision which assures that its 10x lossless zoom is usable in different lighting situations.

This triple-camera setup can cover 35mm equivalent of 16mm to 160mm of focal length. Basically, it can shoot up to 10x lossless zoom. In addition, it has up to 20x digital zoom!
Anyway, here's a glimpse of what it can do.

Quick thoughts
Since the phone we tried earlier is a prototype device, the software is still unrefined. There are times where the zoom will work and there are times where it will fail.
You will need at least a meter of distance from your subject before you can zoom as well.
When it works, the 10x and below zoom delivered images with crisp details and less noise for a zoomed camera phone photo. The 20x digital zoom is not great, but far from bad.
For us, OPPO's new camera technology is promising. It can really zoom!
If OPPO can polish this tech before it comes out on an actual smartphone, it can be a breakthrough in mobile the photography world.
Unlike its 5x zoom tech last 2017, OPPO promised that this tech will be on an actual smartphone in Q2 2019.
Could this be the rumored R19 Pro?
Are you guys excited?
