OPPO is expected to launch new phones in its Find X8 series on Thursday, April 10. Ahead of the official announcement, it’s teasing the upcoming Find X8 Ultra camera specifications, which are impressive on paper.

From a hardware perspective, the OPPO Find X8 Ultra will feature a five-camera system, which includes four main sensors arranged in a circular layout, along with an additional spectral image sensor. The main camera setup consists of a 1-inch Sony LYT-900 main sensor, a Sony IMX882 ultra-wide camera, a Sony IMX906 3x telephoto camera, and a Sony IMX882 6x periscope telephoto lens. This configuration will provide variable focal lengths of 15mm, 23mm, 70mm, and 135mm.

The Find X8 Ultra is set to make headlines thanks to its innovative software. It will be OPPO’s first phone equipped with Lumo, the company’s new image engine specifically designed for portrait photography. This technology combines advanced hardware and software to enhance image quality, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

A standout feature of Lumo is its Danyan original color lens technology. This technology utilizes zone-specific color temperature sensing, which helps achieve more natural skin tones, even in challenging environments like low light or complex lighting situations.

Lumo imaging technology will not be exclusive to the Find X8 Ultra; it is also expected to be featured in the upcoming Find X8s and Find X8s+, both of which are scheduled for launch next week. The new technology is OPPO’s latest innovation in smartphone camera technology, establishing it as a rival to mobile imaging systems from brands like Vivo, Xiaomi, and Huawei.

After next week, the Find X8 series will consist of the Find X8, Find X8 Pro, Find X8s, Find X8s+, and Find X8 Ultra. OPPO typically launches its phones in China first, followed by a global rollout, and we can expect the same pattern for this upcoming series.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8: Everything we know about the upcoming clamshell folding phone

Of the three phones expected to arrive at Galaxy Unpacked, the Flip 8 is shaping up to be the most underwhelming.

Three Galaxy Z Flip 7 models next to each other

The Fold 8 Ultra could get a sharper display, a more powerful chipset, a new camera, and a larger battery. Samsung’s purported wider foldable, the Fold 8, is expected to solve the most common problem with tall-body, narrow cover screens by adopting a new aspect ratio. The Flip 8, on the other hand, could only debut with a new chip, and not a Snapdragon one.

The Flip 7 wasn’t a bad clamshell by any measure. However, it's been one year, and the memory crisis has already hit the smartphone market hard. In a tricky cost-to-margin situation, the Flip 8 could end up getting a price hike without any major improvements, and that might not sit well with potential buyers.

Google Contacts borrows a handy iPhone trick to make sharing your number easier

google-contacts-app

Google is rolling out a small but useful update to the Contacts app on Android that makes it much easier to find and share your own contact details. Instead of digging through settings or creating a separate contact for yourself, you'll now see a dedicated 'Your Info' card at the very top of your contacts list.

The feature gives you quick access to your phone number, email addresses, and other personal details while also adding a faster way to share them with others. The update is arriving with Google Contacts version 4.83.13.940538822 and is rolling out widely (via 9to5Google).
