What do you value most when taking photos with your phone? Some people focus on night photography capabilities, while others care more about telephoto performance. Zoom capabilities of 10 or even 100 times let you easily capture distant scenery. Over the past year, we have also witnessed multiple phones with more than 50x zoom capability. Looking at their features, they all rely on periscope telephoto lenses. Periscope telephoto lenses have also become synonymous with a phone’s zoom photography capability.
Today, Digital Chat Station revealed that the OnePlus 9 series will continue to use a standard telephoto lens, which may disappoint some OnePlus fans. After all, OnePlus products have never used periscope lenses before, and the telephoto capability has also been limited. However, the blogger mentioned that perhaps due to the supply chain not yet recovering, many new phones released before the third quarter of this year feature periscope telephoto lenses, while next year, there will be a phenomenon where a large number of new phones do not have a periscope lens.
According to the above viewpoints, several phones that may be released next year with the Snapdragon 888 chipset (not limited to the OnePlus 9 series) will use standard telephoto lenses instead of periscope lenses, which will limit the products’ telephoto photography capabilities.
