Would be nice If they could make mandatory to have speedometer placed in front of driver instead of in the middle of car too.

I got a brass Jinhao 10 retractable fountain pen in F a little while ago. The nibs in these inexpensive pens are always a hit or miss. I seem to have landed a butter smooth nib! The pen has some heft and looks gorgeous too. I chose this version because it has a grooved body that can provide grip and indeed it does. Easily has become my new daily driver now. 🖋

A Closer Look at Oppo’s Retractable Smartphone Camera

Last week, Oppo teased that it would be releasing a smartphone that featured a retractable, telescoping camera. While the company has not officially announced it yet, it has revealed more information on the coming device.

The company recently hosted its annual Inno Day event where it announced a few new products through the digital experience, including the new MariSilicon X mobile neural processing unit that it claims will dramatically improve image quality in its 2022 devices.

On top of the new processing power, Oppo's retractable smartphone camera appears to be adding hardware advancements into the equation. The company has published a video about it along with six major features that come with it. Typically, retractable lenses on compact cameras usually allow an optic to have variable focal lengths or at least allow a lens with multiple elements to make itself more compact when not in use. That benefit is on full display here, as the company has managed to pack the larger camera system into an 8.26mm phone (a measurement reported by GSMArena) without a particularly large camera bump. When not in use, the lens pulls back to be flush with the thin phone body

In Oppo's case, the camera will not have a variable focal length but instead will feature a 52mm equivalent lens (which the company classifies as 2x optical zoom) when extended. Behind the lens is a large 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX766 sensor which will likely capture more detail compared to a standard telephoto module. The actual optical system is also touted by the company as providing actual telephoto bokeh.

Oppo says the lens system will support optical image stabilization (OIS) as well as autofocus (AF) but does not go into more detail about the focusing performance that can be expected, as the demonstration looks to be pretty strongly focused on the hardware.

One of the more impressive features Oppo demonstrated is the ability for the phone to sense if it has been dropped and automatically retract the lens to prevent damage. The company claims that it is able to fully retract the lens back into the smartphone body in just 0.6 seconds. On top of all of this, the company says it will remain splash and dust resistant but did not go into specific details on how robust that resistance would be.

Oppo is expected to announce a new Find X flagship mobile device that also includes the company's new NPU in the first quarter of 2022, but it did not hint if the retractable smartphone camera would be part of that device or a separate launch. Whatever the case, the design is clearly more than a prototype and it will likely find its way into a consumer device by next year.

Oppo Teases a Telescoping, Retractable Smartphone Camera

Oppo has published a short video that teases a coming smartphone that will feature a telescoping, retractable camera with a design that is reminiscent of compact point and shoots.

A telescoping, retractable lens design usually allows an optic to have variable focal lengths or at least allow a lens with multiple elements to make itself more compact when not in use. Whatever the case, improved performance is all but assured to be a goal from Oppo with this design.

It should also be noted that the module is quite large, which hints at either a larger image sensor, larger and higher-quality optics, or both.

Most pop-ups are annoying…

But not our self-developed retractable camera! 😉

Earlier this month, Oppo announced that it would be one of the first smartphone manufacturers to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processer in its devices and planned to make it available in the first quarter of 2022.

“Oppo maintains close ties with Qualcomm Technologies, and we have brought several 5G smartphones powered by flagship Snapdragon mobile platforms to the market this year, including the Find X3 series and Reno6 series," Scott Zhang, Oppo Vice President of Overseas Sales says. "It is our pleasure to witness the launch of a new generation of Snapdragon 8 Mobile Platform. We believe it will bring immense improvements and powerful performance on the next generation of flagship smartphones.”

The announcement of the feature is without many confirmed details, as Oppo plans to fully reveal the smartphone and camera on December 14 at its Inno Day event, which takes place in Shenzhen, China on December 14 and 15. Inno World, where the smartphone is likely to make an appearance, is a virtual stage that takes place during its Inno Day, which is the company's platform for showcasing its coming products and technologies since 2019.

Last year, Oppo showcased three conceptual products at Inno Day, including a rollable smartphone. For 2021, OPPO says it is digitalizing the launch event and exhibitions and transforming the conventional event into an entertaining and interactive world of virtual experiences.

Since Oppo plans to unveil the phone next week and it has already said that it will integrate Qualcomm's new processor into a device for sale in quarter one of 2022, it's not much of a leap to assume these devices will be one and the same. While speculation, it is all likely to become clear on December 14.
