OPPO "Find X" equipped with an innovative slide stealth 3D camera

Ten years have passed since the spread of smartphones in Japan in earnest.The performance of the hardware has been improved, the platform has been stable, and the chipsets, displays, and cameras have evolved significantly.However, on the other hand, paying attention to the body remains that it has become an uniform shape unexpectedly.

In the former mobile phone era, a number of unique models have appeared, such as the display of the display, the camera rotating, the display and the keyboard separated.In the early days of the smartphone, it has a slide -type QWERTY sequence keyboard, and a folding design of the two -screen display (although the successor model has appeared from other manufacturers ...), but most recently.The model is calm on a flat board.

In particular, in the Japanese market, waterproofing and dustproofing tend to be more important, and simple designs seem to be preferred to achieve these.The trend is strong in the global market, and Apple's iPhone has been in the last few years, 3.Eliminate the 5mm earphone microphone terminal, use the Haptics technology from the button that moves the home button, and change it to a button that does not move even if pressed.Last year's iPhone X finally lost the home button itself.In each case, the design is changed in consideration of cost reduction and robustness, but there are many voices that the individuality of the main unit has been lost.

The OPPO "Find X" released this time is designed as one of the new terminal shape possibilities by equipping a unique mechanism that has never been seen before.Currently, most smartphones are equipped with cameras on the front and back, but the main camera on the back, which has been steadily increasing, has expanded the need for self -portraits for the past year or two, so the front has expanded.The performance of the in -camera is remarkable.However, at the same time, the increase in the size of the display and the full screening are rapidly progressing, so how to lay out the in -camera is one issue.

Therefore, many terminals have notches (notches) at the top of the display, and the in -camera, receiver, and 3D face authentication sensors are stored in that part.While the notch is an accent of the terminal design, there are also voices saying that "it is not beautiful" and "it lacks video content".

On the other hand, Find X adopts a unique mechanism called a "slide stealth 3D camera" that protrudes or retracts from the body as needed by a unit with a built -in in -camera and out camera.When the camera app is started, the camera part is automatically protruded from the top of the main unit, the shooting is over, and the camera app ends, and the camera is stored again in the main unit.

It has been rumored that a smartphone that adopted these mechanisms will appear around last year, but when it was actually announced for global in June this year, I was quite surprised that "I don't want to make it really ...".I remember that.At the time of the announcement for the global, it was expected that it would be difficult to put it into the domestic market, but after that, OPPO repeatedly made remarks that smelled the domestic introduction of Find X at the announcement of other models held in Japan.I was.

In October this year, a presentation for domestic presentations was held, and sales were finally started in November.It is an unknown how much it is supported in the Japanese market, which is often said to be conservative, but it is still unknown in the Japanese market, but still in the OPPO that introduced state -of -the -art epoch -make -up products.It makes you feel extraordinary to the market.
