MacRumors is an Apple-focused website, but sometimes we like to share notable new features that Apple’s competitors are adding to their devices, as a look at what Apple may be exploring in the future and just keeping an eye on what other businesses are up to. has. Oppo recently released a smartphone with a microscope lens, and we thought it would be nice to see it 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 it is quite expensive at 1149 euros (~ $ 1350), but it has an included Microlens of 3 megapixels, which is a first for ‘ can be a smartphone.
The Microlens of Find X3 Pro offers a 60x magnification and a ring light, so you can see things up close, as you can see in the video. It’s an incredible niche feature, but it definitely makes the Find X3 Pro stand out and is fun to play with.
You see the fabric of the AirPods Max mesh headband, a hairy hair, the veins of a plant leaf, and more. You need a firm hand or a tripod to keep most items in focus, which is one drawback.
Apart from the Microlens camera, Oppo’s Find X3 Pro is a top-level smartphone that can easily compete with other Android smartphones on the market. It also features a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 50-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 13-megapixel telephoto camera, so it still offers what most competitors have, just with the bonus microscope lens.
You can get high-magnification microscopes that can connect wirelessly to a smartphone for less than $ 50, so this is a feature that you can repeat quite affordably, but it’s definitely nice to have it at your fingertips for your on-the-go magnification. needs.
Since this smartphone is not currently sold in the United States, it needs to be imported, and even with the best features and microlens, it is probably not worth paying the price of $ 1300, as well as shipping fees to get one. A built-in microscope is probably not something we will see on the iPhone any time soon, but it’s an interesting concept.
