On August 17th, there are still 6 days from the official release of OPPO R17, but OPPO officials seem to have announced the product from the appearance to the basic hardware configuration. In fact, R17 is just an appetizer, OPPO this real big move on the OPPO R17 Pro.
The spy photos from the supply chain show that the OPPO R17 Pro will be equipped with three cameras, which will become another three-camera smartphone after the Huawei P20 Pro . But the difference is that the OPPO R17 Pro's three cameras, one of which supports TOF 3D vision technology.
Prior to this, OPPO product manager announced at the TOF technical communication meeting last week that "the next product will be equipped with TOF technology". If nothing unexpected, it refers to this product. This means that OPPO has once again made the R17 Pro the world's first commercially available TOF technology after Find X successfully achieved 3D structural light facial recognition technology breakthrough.
TOF and junction 3D structuring are two 3D vision technologies that are closer to the current technology. Compared with 3D structured light, focusing on close-up face unlocking and face recognition, TOF is more suitable for long-distance 3D information collection, corresponding to the mobile phone's rear application scene , which makes TOF more widely used, and the imagination space is also Bigger.
The OPPO Find series has not been updated for more than four years. During this period, the R series set off a sales banner of OPPO's mid- to high-end price segment of around 3,000 yuan. This year, Find X was officially released. This is the flagship product of OPPO in the true sense of this year. The responsibility of the R series is to continue to defend the status of the 3,000 yuan. Therefore, not only the application of three-shot TOF technology, OPPO has put a lot of heavy black technology on the R17 series.
From the current official exposure of hardware information, OPPO R17 series will be the first Corning's latest sixth-generation Gorilla Glass, and the machine will also support the screen fingerprint. Photographing is still the strength of the OPPO R17 series. Its front lens is 25 million pixels, and the rear AI smart dual camera (R17 Pro is three shots).
According to the official information released by OPPO , R17 Pro is the first to carry the variable aperture technology of F2.4/F1.5 dual-speed intelligent switching in the domestic model . This technology was previously only available in flagship models such as the Samsung S series and the Note series, and has become a differentiated selling point for Samsung's flagship products with a price of over 6,000 yuan. The OPPO R17 Pro is the only product in the price range that has this feature.
On the software level, OPPO officially revealed the application of AI ultra-clear engine technology, which can provide two different processing methods: “ultra clear night scene” and “color mapping” according to different environments. Among them, “Super Night Scene” refers to the combination of AI technology and engine multi-frame technology to achieve noise reduction, hand-held anti-shake, high-light suppression, and improved dynamic range, thereby achieving high-brightness, rich color, more pure and clear night scene shooting effect.
In the second quarter of this year, OPPO occupied the fifth place in the world with a market share of 8.6%, and maintained a relatively high growth rate year-on-year. Under the “T” competitive landscape, it is important to maintain innovation and enhance the product differentiation experience.
Nowadays, the new Find X series is back in four years, and the new R series is coming five months later. Whether it's a screen fingerprint, a variable aperture, or a three-shot of TOF technology, it's not hard to see that after the introduction of Find X, OPPO is still very active in the application of new technologies.
