For a number of years, the highest Chinese language smartphone manufacturers have been duking it out for pictures dominance. Though year-over-year modifications are sometimes minuscule, these corporations attempt to one-up each other. Take Oppo’s newest flagship, the Discover X9 Professional, for instance.
It boasts a 200-megapixel telephoto lens developed with digital camera producer Hasselblad, so you’ll be able to zoom in on a topic from afar. If that wasn’t sufficient, Oppo sells a bonkers Hasselblad Teleconverter Package, a correct 3.28X telephoto lens that slots onto a particular case offering extra optical zoom than I’ve ever seen in a smartphone.
The Discover X9 Professional, launching alongside the marginally extra modest Discover X9, already launched in China, however will quickly be touchdown within the UK and Europe (not the US). As you would possibly anticipate, it’s an absolute unit by way of specs. Alongside the versatile digital camera system with professional software program instruments, there’s a stunning 6.78-inch display screen, and a really huge 7,500 mAh silicon-carbon battery.

I like a telephoto lens in my cellphone. Whereas I not often trouble with the ultrawide, the choice to zoom in from a distance typically proves helpful. You may get close-ups at gigs and different stage-based occasions, choose up on cool architectural particulars, and typically determine what the hell that distant factor is. Aptly-named zoomers don’t notice how good they’ve acquired it; you used to want a DSLR with an enormous lens to get as shut as your common cellphone can now.
The Oppo Discover X9 Professional has a 200-megapixel telephoto lens that helps 3X optical zoom, and it could possibly take wonderful photographs at 6X zoom by cropping 200-megapixel pictures right down to 50 megapixels. Oppo claims it is able to 13.2X lossless zoom utilizing computational pictures; I’m undecided about that quantity, however the Discover X9 Professional actually takes nice images of any distant topic. Technically, the digital zoom goes as much as 120X, however something past 30X begins to appear like an oil portray.
Spectacular as it’s, there have been different telephones with 200-megapixel telephoto lenses, so Oppo kicked issues up a notch with the non-obligatory Hasselblad Teleconverter Package. Used at the side of its Magnetic Photographer Case, there’s a sliding attachment that slots over the digital camera module, then the lens twists and clicks securely into place over the telephoto lens, including one other 3.28X zoom.
