BARCELONA – Oppo has announced a 5G partnership with Australian and Swiss telecom operators ahead of the global Mobile World Congress, which begins Monday (February 25th).
Nicknamed the 5G Landing project, the partnership with Swisscom, Telstra and Optus aims to promote the implementation of 5G products and services. Singtel has also been designated as a potential partner with whom Oppo wants "further collaboration".
Oppo cites 8K video downloads, holographic video calls, 5G cloud games, and augmented reality as potential uses of 5G technology.
The Chinese firm has also confirmed that its future 5G smartphone will use the flagship Snapdragon 855 chipset and the Qualcomm X50 5G modem. The 5G modem works with next-generation 5G mobile networks, which are deployed this year in countries such as the United States and South Korea.
Oppo also introduced a lossless 10x zoom camera technology that allows users to zoom in and take sharp images of distant objects.
This technology, which would be the first of its kind in the world, is part of a triple-camera system, which includes a telephoto lens, a very wide-angle lens, and a main camera lens of 48 megapixels.
Oppo's telephoto lens is able to achieve its 10x lossless zoom compared to other smartphone cameras (usually up to 3x optical zoom) thanks to an unusual periscope style module in the body of the smartphone that increases the physical depth required for the optical zoom. It also means that there is no camera bump, unlike other smartphones.
The telephoto lens and the main lens support optical image stabilization (OIS) to reduce camera shake when shooting videos and photos.
According to Oppo, the 10x lossless camera technology will debut in an upcoming model in the second quarter of the year.
"Innovation is our top priority and we have achieved many recent developments to bring the future to consumers," said Oppo Vice President Jiang Anyi. "We look forward to continuing this commitment and commercialize further progress, especially in 5G and photography."
