Besides announcing their super fast charging technology, OPPO also demonstrated their image stabilisation technology, i.e., SmartSenor.
The company claims that SmartSensor is the world’s first pixel-level OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) technique. SmartSensor works on a 3-axis stabiliser that results in sharp and blur-free images.
Not just that, OPPO also mention that SmartSensor’s image stabilisation is sensor-based, and not lens-based. The brand claims this has never been done before on a smartphone.
SmartSensor is also supposed to be fast; it’s claimed to require a mere 15 milliseconds to achieve “comprehensive” image stabilisation.
As you’d expect, OPPO did not reveal what phone it’ll feature on. However, odds are that it’ll be a headlining feature of the upcoming Find 9.
That said, OPPO seems to be taking its imaging a lot more seriously now. Which is perhaps why they’ve rebranded to ‘OPPO – Camera Phone’. Take a look at the logo below.

OPPO SmartSensor OIS: Event Pictures
More info can be found over at the OPPO forums.
Still wondering (just saying, I know why) all the companies can’t come up with a bigger sensor already.
However, that’s another interesting thing here… Still waiting for the find 9 (the only thing worth reading from oppo, the rest is so ridiculously overpriced that I think they’ll send me a 20$ bill just for reading ?).
I think it’ll have a separate launch in March to avoid the crowd here at mwc (s7, g5 and mi5’s launch are hard to beat in the headline news) and maybe to try and overshadow huawei p9’s launch
The Oppo find 9 is rumored to be unveiled the 18th of March, unless it is just an R9, which has been spotted in the ColorOS code 🙂
When you say bigger do you mean MP’s or sensor size? The trend these days is to make phones thinner and thinner which means sensors have to get smaller, like Samsung’s new ISOCELL units and the new Sony’s that will be out soon.
Also I am headed to the show floor now and will be walking around for about 1.5 hours, is there anything you want me to specifically check out? I don’t have anything specific I am looking at now.
Somehow I lost your comment the other day! However obviously I was referring to sensor’s size, otherwise I would have wrote “resolution” (and I wouldn’t write something like that because I know how stupid it is xD just as stupid as thickness nazis lol).
Anyway, thanks for the offering, but I had nothing to check at the moment (nothing you haven’t already answered, like g5’s cam)… And I wouldn’t have asked anyway because I felt so sorry for you leaving the day before mi5’s launch xD
As the industry moved to CMOS from CCD, large sensors are not as power hungry nor as hot-literally- unless you are doing video…but
Bigger sensors mean bigger lenses! I honestly think a 1 inch sensor is as big as it’s going to get on mobile devices(Panasonic CM1). I remember reading an article on Apple trying to patent curved sensor for large sensor camera with small lens(doesn’t make sense as Sony beat them to it in 2014), but nothing concrete on that side.
damn oppo.. damn another chinese win
Ok now bring on the Find 9
I’m really sorry to bring this up but…in DSLRs, except for few exceptional implementation of IBIS, OIS on lens provide better performance most of the times, especially for long telephotos. The two biggest advantages of “sensor based” or IBIS is that it’s lens independent(meaning works on multiple lenses) and can be used to implement a high resolution pixel shift mode. Since this smartphone doesn’t offer pixel shift nor multiple lenses, I just don’t see the point of it.
I mean sure, it’s first, but with no real benefit.
Yea it sounds like this is just another form of EIS which has been around for years.

I posted on another story I want everyone to see it. I have been meeting all day but I now have about 1.5 hours to explore the exhibits of MWC. If anyone wants me to check out anything specific leave a comment here, I will be checking Disqus every once in awhile on my phone. Today is my last day at MWC, I leave tomorrow.
That’s kind of you, unfortunately I’m late. Should I assume that everything has already been released, as in no mention of Blackview BV6000 so likely not seeing the light of day at this event? Thanks again.
There still are some phones that have yet to be released like Xiaomi Mi5 and several OEM’s will have announcements in the following weeks. For instance only 3 Windows 10 phones launched this week (HP, Vaio and Alcatel). There are another 7-10 coming out and many will be here before summer.
Did you see any news about shallots or letv?
enjoy
Any new stuff from Vivo?

Where is the Find 9? Would have crushed the Samsung S7 and LG G5.
