OPPO has come up with a smartphone with a semicircular retractable camera
The Chinese company OPPO continues to patent smartphones with original design solutions. A description of the next such device is published on the website of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
This time we are talking about a device with a non-standard camera system. LetsGoDigital has partnered with Concept Creator to publish renders to get a feel for the smartphone. Images generated from patent documents.
As planned by OPPO, the device will receive a retractable front camera made in the form of a semicircular module. This block will be retracted into the upper part of the case using a special mechanism when the camera is not in use. This design will eliminate the hole or cutout on the screen.
Behind will be a multi-module main camera with optical elements lined up horizontally. It is said about the presence of a 15x hybrid zoom.
The renders indicate the presence of an asymmetrical USB Type-C port at the bottom of the case and side physical control buttons.
Alas, while the original smartphone exists only in patent documents. OPPO does not disclose plans to bring it to the commercial market.
