If you remember, Vivo has also announced a similar product for Apex 2020 concept phone. But it comes with a monumental weakness. Its range is limited which is almost 130-195mm. Meanwhile, the OPPO module starts at 85mm. OPPO says using one camera across more focal lengths will translate into more consistent photography which would also result in better color balance.
The smartphone camera has come a long way and smartphone OEMs are desperate to stay top in the race. Huawei pioneered zooming capacities that nobody ever conceived achievable then OPPO and other brands have continuously dedicated themselves to improving cameras on smartphones.
