- Oppo has briefly shown off a retractable rear camera for phones.
- This would drastically reduce the size of a camera bump.
- There’s no word on any other practical features this would enable.
Camera bumps are one of the more annoying things about smartphones today, as many devices have main cameras that jut out from the rest of the phone. This means your phone might wobble when flat on a desk or gather loads of dust around the camera.
Fortunately, Oppo has a solution as the firm has revealed a retractable camera. A video posted by the firm’s Twitter account shows a tiny main camera bump that turns into a jutting sensor when the phone’s camera app is launched. Check it out below.
