MacRumors it’s an Apple-focused site, but sometimes we like to share notable new features that Apple’s competitors add to their devices, like a look at what Apple might explore in the future and just to check out what other companies are doing. Oppo has recently launched a smartphone with a microscope lens and we thought it would be fun to check it out and see how it works in our latest YouTube video.
The Oppo Find X3 Pro is not a phone sold in the United States and is quite expensive for 1,149 euros (~ 1350 dollars), but has a 3-megapixel “Microlens” included, which may be the first for a smartphone .
Find X3 Pro microlenses offer a 60x magnification and a ring light, so you can see things up close, as you can see in the video. It’s an amazing niche feature, but it certainly makes the Find X3 Pro stand out and be fun to play.
You can see the fabric of the AirPods Max mesh headband, a strand of hair, the veins of a vegetable leaf and more. You will need a firm hand or a tripod to focus on most items, which is a disadvantage.
Aside from the Microlens camera, Oppo’s Find X3 Pro is a world-class flagship smartphone that easily competes with other Android smartphones on the market. It also includes a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 50-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 13-megapixel telephoto lens, so it still offers what most competitors have, with just the extra microscope lens.
You can get high-magnification microscopes that can be connected wirelessly to a smartphone for less than $ 50, so it’s a feature you can replicate affordably, but it’s fun to have at your fingertips. to increase your moving needs.
Since this smartphone isn’t sold in the U.S. right now, it has to be imported, and even with the high-end features and microlenses, it’s probably not worth paying the asking price of $ 1,300. dollars along with shipping costs to get one. A built-in microscope is probably not something we’ll see on the iPhone in the near future, but it’s an interesting concept.
