According to OPPO, videos recorded at night will benefit from new digital grain reduction algorithms, resulting in visuals that are as clear as snapshot shots. After dark, Android users will shoot in 4K HDR, a first for the platform.
The MariSilicon X’s initial benchmarks will likely be eagerly anticipated. The first quarter of 2022, the first smartphones using OPPO’s home chip will be available.
