Collaborations between phone makers and legacy camera companies are already a regular feature on Android. With the Huawei P9 came Huawei’s collaboration with Leica, Nokia and Zeiss have joined forces again, and the cameras for the OnePlus 9 come from Hasselblad. Better lenses and a few software add-ons, always on high-end mobiles.
OPPO wants to be the next big company to partner with a photography historian. In this case, the leaks indicate that OPPO prepares to collaborate with Kodak, a company that already launched its own phone in 2015 and is currently still struggling with compacts such as the PIXPRO WPZ2 or the Kodak Smile Classic.
OPPO and Kodak, hand in hand for the high end
OPPO currently has mobiles like the Find X3 Pro, a terminal with a high-end camera, but not the best smartphone in photography of 2021. As we read in GSMarena, leaks from China They advance a collaboration between OPPO and Kodak for their next flagship.
Everything indicates that the sensor will again be the one we saw in the previous generation, the IMX766 of the OPPO Find X3 Pro
Specifically, the Sony IMX766 will be used again, a sensor shared with beasts such as the Honor Magic 3 Pro. That is, we will see again 50 megapixels for the main sensor, as well as an ultra wide angle and a telephoto lens.
There are no details on the supposed OPPO Find X4 Pro that will mount this sensor, but without a doubt the bet in photography will be high. As always, marketing plays an important role in these types of decisions. Collaborating with a photography company doesn’t always translate into better photographs, so we’ll have to wait for OPPO’s new flagship to check it out.
