To be clear, the Oppo Reno 10x zoom doesn't have 10x optical zoom (or 6x for that matter)

26 April 2019
Periscope cameras are an amazing feat of engineering. But while we initially thought the lens on the Oppo Reno 10x zoom would offer a 6x optical zoom factor (160mm lens), it turned out it doesn't.

            Like suspected from the sample images made on their promotional events.. anyway is rea cool and real cheap nowadays... a real 10x optical zoom phone is the moto z with the true zoom model.

              so the talk is about the 6x zoom to be a 5x optical plus 1x digital right?
              so what's the deal with 10x zoom in the name? just another scam by a Chinese manufacturer.

                        I have always found Oppo and Vivo to have over the top Marketing gimmicks...never really offering what they claim. Lenovo leads the pack of course.

                        Apple, Samsung Huawei and OnePlusare a little better. At most, you get a pic or promo that wasn't actually made from the phone, but they usually land pretty close to their promises.

                            It seems the actual periscope zoom unit is identical to that on the Huawei. I wonder who makes it ?

                              LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. ROFLMAO!

                              Did you really first realize that now? What noobs you are.

                                Both phones have essentially the same zoom capabilities - 16-125mm and 16-130mm. On the other hand, even huawei can claim to have a optical zoom bigger than 5x - 7,8x to be exact.

                                      Phone manufacturers seem to be getting desperate year after year.

                                        Wait some time and next year, this zoom will be available in much cheaper Xiaomi phones. Oppo's price and software is a big no.
