Oppo is all set to launch its new smartphone Oppo Find X8, and its biggest highlight is its pressure-sensitive camera shutter. This feature is a great gift especially for photography enthusiasts. Recently on Weibo, Oppo’s Zhou Yibao gave a glimpse of this innovation, which was revealed by Android Authority. This new shutter button of Oppo looks quite familiar, but it has some unique features that make it different from the previous buttons.
What is special about Oppo Find X8 the pressure-sensitive camera shutter?
So let’s understand why this feature is special. This pressure-sensitive strip is not actually a physical button, but it works exactly like a button. A simple double-tap opens the camera, and tapping again can take a photo. If you want to zoom in or out, just swipe on the strip. It is so intuitive that it makes the user experience even better.
An old memory – a glimpse of the iPhone 16?
If you think this feature is similar to any other smartphone, then you are thinking right. Apple introduced a very similar feature in its iPhone 16 series, called “Camera Control”. There users tap once to open the camera, and swipe like Oppo to zoom and shutter.
But the point to note here is that Oppo has not copied Apple. Both the companies have been innovating in their own direction, and this feature is also a big step for Oppo.
Pressure-sensitive shutter works even in water. The most amazing aspect of this feature is that it works even when your phone is exposed to water. As we know, touchscreens are not very reliable when they get wet. But Oppo’s pressure-sensitive shutter lets you not worry about missing your shot, no matter what the conditions are.
What to expect from the Find X8 series?
The Find X8 is expected to launch later this month, and is likely to be available globally next year. Not only will it feature a new shutter button, but it will also get updated cameras and an all-new design. If you were a fan of the Find X7 Ultra, the Find X8 has some exciting changes waiting for you.
Final Thoughts
With the Oppo Find X8, Oppo has taken its smartphone game to even higher levels. While the camera shutter feature may seem familiar, it is a sign that the future of smartphone photography is getting even simpler and more advanced. Whether you are on land or underwater, Oppo has taken care of every situation.
