Periscope cameras are one way to provide long focal lengths in the slim form of a smartphone. But how do they work? A video showing the disassembly of the Oppo Reno camera could shed some light on that.
In it we can detail various components of the camera, as they disassemble it to reveal its composition and see how the increase that the company will implement in the high-end range is achieved.
The periscope module measures only 23.5 x 11.5 x 5.73mm. It's slim enough to fit on phones without creating a major hump. It's pretty small overall, so it doesn't take up too much of the internal volume.
The module consists of three main parts: prism, lens and sensor. The lenses come out as a unit. They are a special "D-Cut" design that helps keep the module as thin as it is. A magnetic coil moves the prism to achieve optical image stabilization.
The phone's main wide-angle camera too has an OIS focus system, but this is a traditional design. You can see both stabilization systems side by side at 2:15 in the video. The two cameras can work together to achieve a 10x hybrid zoom.
We'd also love to see the teardown of the Oppo Reno selfie camera: It is a pop-up camera with a unique design.

On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the terminal will use a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 eight-core, 6 GB of RAM memory -at least-, a storage of no less than 128 GB and other high-end features, such as a large-capacity battery with support for the company's fastest charging technology. Soon we will be confirming all these details and more, because the Oppo Reno launch is getting closer. There will be various versions of the model.
