This Extremely telephone’s add-on digicam lens might put others to disgrace

We’ve seen a number of flagship Android telephones with add-on digicam lenses in latest months. These exterior lenses allow ~8x to ~10x native zoom for high-quality long-range photographs. Now, a trusted leaker has claimed that an upcoming Extremely telephone might get a extra spectacular add-on lens.

Leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that the upcoming vivo X300 Extremely will provide a 400mm telephoto extender lens. Take a look at the screenshot of the machine-translated publish beneath.

What about vivo’s current 2.35x (200mm) telephoto extender, although? Effectively, the leaker added that the brand new lens could be a “200mm + 400mm dual-lens mixture.” A follow-up remark (see the second picture above) additionally means that it may very well be a single lens with two distinct focal lengths. Which means you won’t have to modify between the brand new lens and the older one.

In any occasion, a 400mm telephoto extender lens interprets into ~16x native zoom and ~32x zoom at a lossless decision. Against this, the vivo X300 Professional’s exterior lens gives ~8.3x native zoom and ~16x zoom at a lossless decision. This new lens might due to this fact be excellent for situations like safaris and birdwatching, the place even 8x or 10x native zoom won’t ship nice outcomes.

In saying so, we have been fairly proud of the present crop of add-on lenses from OPPO and vivo. This enabled us to take long-range pictures that have been a transparent step above typical smartphone cameras. Nonetheless, I did discover that picture high quality took a dive from roughly 800mm (~33x) on vivo’s handsets. So we’re eager to see photos taken with this 400mm exterior lens.
