Oppo Teases Retractable Smartphone Camera Technology Ahead of Inno Day 2021 Event

Oppo teased a revolutionary retractable smartphone camera technology on twitter. The Chinese technology company posted a video showing a smartphone with a retractable/pop-up back camera and a demonstration of how it would operate. The camera module is also said to be water-resistant and sturdy. The announcement comes only days before Oppo Inno Day 2021, the company's annual innovation showcase.

Oppo is scheduled to demonstrate a variety of technological advances and goods during the two-day event. Oppo claims that its self-developed retractable camera is not as bothersome as pop-up cameras on other smartphones in a brief video uploaded on Twitter. The camera's operation and functionality are also hinted at in the video. The camera module suggests that it will be equipped with a 1/1.56-inch sensor and a 50mm focal length lens with an f/2.4 aperture.
