Oppo N3 officially announced, sports a motorized swivel camera [T-break Tech (Middle East)]


(T-break Tech (Middle East) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Think the smartphone selfie race is over? It's just getting started. Oppo has officially revealed the Oppo N3 smartphone with a 16MP F2.2 swivel camera that is actually motorized, meaning the movable camera can rotate at 206 degrees without the need to move it manually by hand. Touchscreen gestures and a rear fingerprint scanner are used to flip the camera. If that's not enough, a Bluetooth remote called the O-Click is also included in the package that lets you trigger the camera and control camera movements.



The image sensor is the standard 1/2.3' type and a high-quality Schneider Kreuznach-certified lens is used in the movable optical module bordered by stitched leather. Due to the swivel nature of the camera, you can bet the N3 can take panoramas easily up to 64MP resolutions, without the need of moving the smartphone. Oppo introduces a photography package in the N3 called the Ultra Image 2.0 that includes manual control, slow shutter mode, an ultra-macro mode and shooting in RAW format, something usually professional cameras do.

Also, the camera is capable of recording 4K videos at 30fps, 1080p at 60fps and super slow motion 720p videos at 120 frame-rates. Moving on, the display is a 5.5-inch 1080p with 400ppi brightness. The brains are the Snapdragon 801 processor, which still gives a great performance kick along with 2GB RAM and Android 4.4 KitKat comes out of the box with a mix of the Color OS 2.0. You also get a 32GB internal storage with MicroSD expansion. It should be noted that a dual-SIM variant of Oppo N3 will be available. The battery is rated to be 3000mAh, and the VOOC rapid charging can achieve a 75 % power in 30minutes.


The semi-aluminum framed N3 weighs 192g. Connectivity includes LTE, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0. Oppo has included a rear fingerprint scanner to easily unlock the smartphone or protect the newly snapped images. If you're fond of the new Oppo, the smartphone will be shipped for $649 (2383 AED) worldwide by the end of 2014.

Press ReleaseOPPO introduced its latest addition to the N series with the N3 – the world's first smartphone to feature an automated swivel camera. Combining functionality, beauty and incredible performance across every parameter, the N3 is designed for life and the perfect embodiment of OPPO's products.

"OPPO's N3 was built and designed with our users in mind. We took what our users loved about the N1 and made it even better," said Sky Li, General Manager of OPPO's overseas mobile phone business. "The N3 is a perfect demonstration of our commitment to design and innovation." The World's Most Innovative Smartphone Camera Yet The N3 features the much loved feature of the N series, the rotating camera, but with an added function – automation. The N3's camera has the ability to rotate 206 degrees and is capable of taking pictures using its free-stop and multi-angle shooting features, a truly unique experience in mobile technology and mobile photography.

Additionally, the camera can take panoramic shots of impressive, wide-angle shots, such as cityscapes, with a simple click activating the automatic rotation to capture clear, stable images – in both landscape and portrait orientations. With OPPO focusing more on details, its 16 megapixel camera can take high resolution images, and is perfect for high quality prints.

Furthermore, the camera showcases OPPO's unique target-tracking focus shift function, this means that all its users need to do is to identify the target in focus and the camera will constantly modify its angle to follow the moving target, helping users create clear, pristine photos and videos.

?It also features breakthrough mobile camera lens technology developed in partnership with Schneider Optics, leaders in the optical industry and the latest generation 16 megapixel camera that can take 64 megapixel high resolution image, providing users with an unparalleled quality of images.

In addition, to make the camera even more user-friendly and for maximum ease, users can control the camera rotation in three ways – by O-click, gestures and touch access.

The N3 also includes the next generation of OPPO's market leading Pure Image processing technology, the PI 2.0 plus. Before consumers press the shutter, PI 2.0 plus will complete the white balance settings, brightness adjustment, auto focus, face recognition and other actions intelligently. The N3 delivers a user experience equivalent to that of a professional DSLR camera.

Designed for Life, with an innovative hollow underside design The N3 features an innovative hollow underside design that not only presents a light and textured feel to the phone, but gives notification to consumers as well. The hollow space houses the OPPO skyline notification light 2.0, which takes the form of polar light and breathes with the incoming message. Whenever consumers receive a text, email or message, the lights, visible from every angle, notify consumers about incoming texts and messages at all times.

Also, this hollow underside protects the phone if it is dropped. If the phone falls, the hollow space between the bottom of the phone and the screen bears the brunt of the impact, protecting the screen, and ensuring a sturdy phone.

The N3 boasts of a well-loved feature – Touch Access, which is not only secure and convenient, but allows for a higher recognition rate. The touch-sensitive device will also respond to wet or gloved hands, making it the ideal phone for users in any situation or environment.

The Technology ?The OPPO N3 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core CPU and is packed with 32G ROM and 2G RAM and a 5.5-inch screen made of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for maximum clarity and durability.

The phone includes OPPO's VOOC mini rapid charging system that will have the phone ready whenever the users are. A 30-minute charge will provide 75% battery, and a five- minute charge allows for a two-hour call. This time the VOOC mini is much smaller and easy to carry.

The N3 is available in the following markets from launch: Australia, Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam and China.
