Oppo's new microscope camera will let you see things you've never seen with a smartphone
Today OPPO launched the OPPO Find X3 Pro. It's a classic OPPO flagship with the latest high-end specs, flashy design, and a gorgeous display. And while the phone's software is classic OPPO, for better or worse, the cameras are some of the most impressive I've seen on a phone in a long time.
The Find X3 Pro has four cameras; a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, a 13MP telephoto, and a 3MP microlens. The main sensor and ultrawide both use the aforementioned 50MP IMX 766, which is making its first international appearance. It's a great sensor and takes great photos, but to me, it's not the star of the show. The 13MP telephoto is just a classic telephoto lens — nothing fancy. Where things get interesting is with the 3MP microlens.
The Find X3 Pro's microscope camera is probably one of the coolest camera setups on a phone right now. It has its own ring light and supports up to 60x (you're reading that right) magnification. It sounds like it's just another gimmick, I know, but it results in some absolutely insane photos.
