 Hey guys, I'm Flavio De Virge here at MWC 2019 and what I have with me is Oppo's new 10x optical lossless zoom camera system housed in a prototype. It's all locked down very tightly, all we can really do is play around with the camera app, but that's really what we're here for. Oppo's new system is claimed it has a 10x lossless zoom that works with three lenses. So over here in the back you have one main camera, 48 megapixels, then you have a wide angle, ultra wide angle lens that covers an equivalent of 60mm and then you have a telephoto lens which covers an equivalent of 160. So you're going from 16 to 160mm of optical zoom inside your phone without it being especially thick. Alright so just to get an idea of when it switches between the lenses, at the moment it's using the main lens, but I'm going to cover up the telephoto lens with my finger at the back and then start zooming and at f8.2 it switches so this is it using the telephoto lens right now. And one thing I immediately noticed with the telephoto lens is you get quite a bit of a jelly effect because it does have optical image stabilization but because it's so zoomed in you get a jelly effect on the screen when you're moving it around. So obviously this isn't going to be terrifically good for video, Oppo doesn't even let us try to do any videos. So in order to get really close with the telephoto lens it has a periscope system on the inside, mirrors and lenses inside the body of the phone. So having an ultra wide angle lens like this isn't particularly new, companies like LG and quite a few others have done it. Even having a telephoto lens on top, having three and four lenses isn't especially new. What Oppo has done is optimize everything, it has improved the size, so it's reduced the size while improving the zoom. The results, we're going to have to test it, we're going to have to review it, but on the first look it does look like a really compact system. I mean just look at the thickness of this phone. When you consider that it's got this case on it, it looks exactly the size of a regular phone. You're not really compromising physically, but you're gaining so much in terms of optical zoom. When I take a photo with the telephoto lens versus when I take a wide angle photo and then zoom in, the difference in detail and sharpness is really easily noticeable. That being said, this photo isn't in focus because you do have quite a bit of a minimum focusing distance with a telephoto. You're not going to be able to take really macro shots with this lens, so it's really designed for subjects that are distant from you. You will be familiar that Oppo and OnePlus are kind of sister companies, they work very closely. And Oppo tells us this is coming in quarter two of 2019, which might be around the time when we can expect the next OnePlus flagship. So if the next OnePlus phone, which may or may not be the OnePlus 7, happens to have a camera system like this, don't be surprised. So that's it, our first look at Oppo's new 10x lossless optical zoom camera system. It's not a new 5G phone, it's not foldable, it's not even an actual device yet, but again, it's an exciting new development, an exciting new addition. Camera phones are getting formidable good these days, and this is distinctly different and unique. So for more technology from here at MWC 2019, which includes cameras, lenses, foldables, 5G, but no 6G, sorry, stay tuned to theverge.com and youtube.com slash theverge.
