While Oppo is preparing to introduce the Find X10 series in China in September, it has also started to share the first official details about the camera features of the new phones. The most striking model of the series on the camera side will be the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max, and this phone will have three 200 megapixel cameras. The standard Find X10 will come with a dual 200-megapixel camera system developed together with Hasselblad. Oppo will also use the new Hasselblad Super Clear Camera system in the Find X10 family, which aims to produce more natural-looking photos instead of focusing only on high resolution values. The first images shared by the company reveal the design of the new camera island to be used on the back of the phones, as well as the camera hardware.
According to the information provided by Oppo, the basis of the work carried out with Hasselblad is to reduce the need for image processing algorithms while preserving fine details in photographs. Intensive computational photography techniques on today’s phones can sometimes cause unnatural results, especially in skin textures and small details. The new system in the Find X10 series focuses on producing more natural textures by preserving the data obtained from high-resolution sensors as much as possible. The Find X10 Pro Max’s switch to three 200-megapixel cameras, as opposed to two 200-megapixel cameras in the Find However, sensor size, optical quality and image processing system will be as decisive as the number of megapixels in the results obtained in real use.
Oppo Find X10 Pro Max camera system aims for natural colors
The second generation Danxia Color Restoration Lens to be used in the Find X10 family is also among the changes made by Oppo in the camera system. According to the company’s statement, this system uses 24 sampling channels to detect ambient light and colors more accurately. In addition, 15 stops of dynamic range support aims to help preserve more image information in scenes with significant differences between bright and dark areas. Maintaining color accuracy can be challenging for smartphone cameras, especially in environments where there are multiple light sources with different color temperatures. The real difference of Oppo’s new color restoration system will be clearer when the phones are tested extensively.
In addition, the company will introduce the natural light and shadow engine called LUMO with the Find X10 series. This imaging engine focuses on keeping the brightness and contrast relationship in the photo more natural. Oppo cites preserving facial details as one of the usage areas of the system, especially in portraits with strong backlight. In such scenes, phones’ HDR algorithms may brighten the face while making the background look artificial or reducing the overall contrast of the image more than necessary. Although it is not yet known to what extent LUMO will provide a natural balance, the information provided by Oppo shows that image processing in the Find X10 series is not handled only through sharpness and resolution.
Unofficial details about the telephoto camera of the Find X10 Pro Max were shared by Digital Chat Station. According to the source, the aperture value of the periscope camera indicates that the previously mentioned OV52A sensor may not be used in the mass production model. Instead, it is stated that the phone may have a more traditional telephoto camera with a large sensor and 200 megapixel resolution. It is claimed that this camera will have a 70 mm equivalent focal length and f / 2.1 aperture. While telephoto macro shooting support is expected to be available in the system, these details have not yet been confirmed by Oppo and should be evaluated together with the information that the Find X10 Pro Max will have a 200 megapixel camera with three large sensors.
The official image published by Oppo also shows that a very large camera island placed horizontally on the back of the phone will be used. The camera section with rounded corners covers a large area on the back of the phone with a gradual rectangular design. While there are three separate camera openings in the main section, there is a fourth circular section separated from them on the right side. This design shows that the camera hardware of the Find X10 Pro Max will also determine the physical structure of the phone. Especially if three high-resolution and large sensor cameras are used, the dimensions of the camera protrusion and the weight distribution of the device will be among the points to be considered for daily use.
It has been confirmed by Oppo that the Find X10 series will be introduced in China in September. Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max were previously seen in the Geekbench database, and it was revealed that the two phones would be powered by different Dimensity 9 series chipsets. Therefore, it seems that the difference between the two models will not be limited only to the number of cameras and camera resolution. On paper, the Find X10 Pro Max’s three 200-megapixel cameras offer strong hardware in terms of detail level, especially in telephoto shots and at different focal lengths. Despite this, the practical success of the system will be determined by the Hasselblad color processing approach, the consistency of the LUMO engine, low light performance and color balance between cameras, rather than the resolution of the sensors.
