Oppo Reno with periscope camera leaked in marketing banners

Posted: 02 Apr 2019 06:00 AM PDT

The upcoming Oppo Reno is evolving into a full series rather than a single phone.

The latest leak shows the Oppo Reno with a periscope camera in marketing billboards, hung on a ceiling of what looks to be a retail store. The image clearly shows two camera lenses and a periscope module underneath. Rumor has it the Oppo Reno will have a 48MP...

The Pixel 2 family will be remembered for their photography prowess thanks to the excellent image processing software....
