  • OPPO Shows Off Its 10x Lossless Zoom Technology

    OPPO Shows Off Its 10x Lossless Zoom Technology

    Oppo held its ‘Get Closer’ event in Barcelona on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 on February 23 to show what it has been working on. The company showed off its camera module with 10x Lossless Zoom technology for smartphones and its plans on developing the 5G technology along with Qualcomm and carriers from around the world. 

    Oppo Innovation Event

    Oppo started the event by unveiling the world’s first 10x lossless zoom camera module for smartphones. This will provide ten times optical zoom without losing any significant image quality. According to the company, to accommodate a sensor capable of 10x zoom, the size of it needs to be at least 15mm thick. It says they have achieved this capability in a sensor size equal to the one found on the R17 Pro smartphone. The company claims that it had to make the sensor size smaller by using a ‘Periscope Module’ in placing the lenses. It also used a ‘D-Cut’ optical lens, which is “like making two parallel cuts on a circular lens”. This design will reduce the thickness of the lens whilst still producing the desired optical performance.

    Oppo has achieved this technology in a triple rear camera setup containing a 48MP main sensor, a wide-angle sensor and the aforementioned telephoto sensor. The telephoto sensor is capable of taking shots varying in focal lengths from 16mm to 160mm, thus giving the users 10x lossless zoom capability. The lens, to avoid a quality loss while taking images, also has Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). The company has announced that a device with this technology will be launched in Q2 of this year.

    Oppo at the event also announced its plans for 5G, the new mobile communication standard. The company claims that it is actively working with Qualcomm in developing a 5G capable smartphone running on the Snapdragon 855 SoC and featuring the X50 modem. The company also revealed that it has successfully tested a 5G ready prototype late last year based on the Oppo Find X smartphone. According to senior executives, the company will further partner with telecom operators around the world to bring this technology in smartphones this year. All the new technologies announced at the event are expected to make their way into the real world products soon.

    Qualcomm Announces The Snapdragon 855 SoC With 5G Support

    In the Snapdragon Tech Summit 2018 which started yesterday, Qualcomm officially announced its next flagship processor, the Snapdragon 855. The Snapdragon 855 is the successor to the highly popular Snapdragon 845, which is found on almost all the Android flagship devices from 2018. The new 855 is manufactured using the 7nm process, which offers better battery life and improved performance. Along with the chipset, Qualcomm also announced the Snapdragon Elite Gaming platform and the 3D Sonic Sensor.

    The 855

    Contrary to earlier reports, the chipset bears the 855 title and not the 8150 title. Although, previous reports were not inaccurate as the 8150 was the internal name of the mobile platform. The chipset is manufactured  using the 7 nm process which is the new standard for flagship processors now. The Hisilicon Kirin 980 by Huawei and the A12 Bionic by Apple are 7nm chipsets have already entered production and are featured in the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the new lineup of iPhones respectively.

    The 855 is also 5G ready and is compatible with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X50 modem, in order to do so. 5G technology is almost here and many countries and companies are actively testing their 5G devices and networks. It is safe to say that 2019 will be the year of 5G devices. However, the rollout will be slow and countries like India might get proper 5G infrastructure only towards the end of 2019.

    Additionally, Qualcomm also said that the Snapdragon 855 features their fourth-generation multi-core AI engine. This offers up to 3 times the AI performance when compared to the Snapdragon 845. The 855 also features the world’s first Computer Vision Image Signal Processor (CV-ISP). This will offer new features in terms of photo and video capture. The 855 also features the Snapdragon elite Gaming platform , which will offer a new set of features to enhance the mobile gaming experience.

    Snapdragon 855 Details Leak Before Official Launch

    The latest flagship Chipset from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 855 is set to launch today. Ahead of its official launch, TechCrunch accidentally published an article which revealed crucial details about the same. Although they have taken down the article, the vital information is already out.

    Revelations

    The article confirmed that the chipset will officially be called the Snapdragon 855 and not Snapdragon 8155 which was previously claimed. According to the article, Snapdragon 8155 was just the codename and not the official name. The Snapdragon 855 is the successor to the Snapdragon 845 which was launched last year and is present on devices like the OnePlus 6T & the Pixel 3 XL. Unlike its predecessor, the new chipset uses 7 nm manufacturing technology and is made by TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company). 

    The Snapdragon 855 also has a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit). The company claims the new chipset has up to three times better performance than the last generation. Additionally, it also has the Snapdragon X24 LTE modem and Snapdragon X50 5G modem.

    Cores & Clock Speed

    The Snapdragon 855 comprises of the Adreno 640 GPU and Octa Core CPU. It has three CPU clusters, including one high-performance Kryo Gold core clocked at 2.84 GHz, three moderate-performance Kryo Gold cores clocked at 2.42 GHz and four power-saving Kryo silver cores clocked at 1.78 GHz. The new Adreno 640 GPU is also optimised to maximise the performance of applications using AR (Augmented Reality). 

    Furthermore, the Snapdragon 855 also has support for a 3D sonic sensor. It provides support for enhanced ultra-sonic in-display fingerprint sensors. Currently, phones with in-display fingerprint sensors use optical sensors which are quite secure but are no match to the ultrasonic scanners. Qualcomm has readied an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner which allows biometric recognition even if your fingers are dusty or sweaty. It makes use of sound waves which can penetrate obstructions like dust and oil.
