Smartphone manufacturer OPPO Digital Inc. has signed a strategic licensing agreement with Corephotonics, a licenser of dual camera technologies. Under the agreement, OPPO will collaborate with Corephotonics on developing its smartphone camera roadmap to support high optical zoom factors, accurate depth mapping, ultrafast digital bokeh, and other advanced features, all involving innovations in optics, mechanics, computational photography, deep learning, and other fields. "Mobile photography is a key focus of OPPO, and we have always been eager to forge strong partnerships with leading suppliers like Corephotonics,” said King Bai, hardware director of OPPO. “Corephotonics’ dual cameras with wide-angled and telephoto lenses, along with the periscope-style construction, optical image stabilization, and image fusion technology, edge mobile photography even closer to what digital cameras are capable of doing.” Corephotonics provides end-to-end multiaperture solutions that dramatically improve the image quality and user experience of mobile imaging, dual camera systems, and solutions for other industries. OPPO manufactures smartphones with a focus on mobile photography technology. "OPPO has the most impressive record of innovation in the field of smartphone imaging,” said David Mendlovic, CEO of Corephotonics. “We are proud to be working closely with the OPPO teams on their next-generation camera technologies. This strategic agreement is a major validation of the benefits that our camera designs and imaging algorithms will have for the future of mobile photography.”
