I’d say Oppo and Vivo are two smartphone brands that are working tirelessly to better their camera technology. We have already seen Oppo launch phones with 10x hybrid zoom and an under-display selfie camera. And now, a recent patent filing reveals that the Chinese giant is working on something a lot more crazy.
The Type-C port seems to be accessible at two angles – 90-degrees and 180-degrees. This means you will have more versatility (as we have already seen with the rotating camera on the ZenFone 7) while capturing videos or group photos.
If the camera module technology turns into reality within the next couple of years, we can expect Oppo to build a variety of modules. One module could offer 108MP photos while the other could serve 100x zoom photos with ease. You will soon be able to carry multiple modules and hot-swap them as per your need. Sounds cool, right? However, we suggest you take the patent with a grain of salt as it’s possible that it may never see the light of day.
