Oppo Teases Its Retractable Camera Tech Here S A Look

Each year we see new technologies to further improve mobile photography and 2021 (even 2022) won’t be different. Oppo, which has showcased a number of intriguing techs in the past, is all set to introduce new ones at the upcoming INNO Day event in China. One of them is a retractable camera, which has now been officially teased by the company. Here’s what it is like.

Oppo, via an official tweet, has posted a short clip, which showcases its retractable camera tech on a smartphone. The video shows an unknown Oppo phone with the main camera that moves in and out, much like how traditional cameras work. Much like the pop-up cameras, the retractable type will move out when the camera app is launched and will retract once the photo or video is captured.

The new Oppo technology isn’t the first one. To recall, Xiaomi, in January last year, showcased its retractable large-aperture telescopic camera technology for smartphones. Additionally, Oppo even teased a retractable display last year but it still hasn’t gone commercial.
