OPPO unveiled its new flagship smartphone yesterday, the OPPO Find X7 Ultra. Along with it, the company also announced the so-called ‘HyperTone Image Engine’. In OPPO’s words, the HyperTone Image Engine “safeguards photo integrity, preserving highlights, shadows, and mid-tones with a natural look”. Well, it is now official, the HyperTone Image Engine is coming to more OPPO phones.
OPPO’s HyperTone Image Engine is coming to more phones
The company said that would happen, while several phones were mentioned by name. This feature is coming to the OPPO Find N3 and Find N3 Flip handsets, the company’s latest foldable offerings. In addition to those devices, the OPPO Reno11 Pro will also get it.
OPPO did mention that some features are hardware-dependent when it comes to the HyperTone Image Engine. However, the core algorithms, photography characteristics, and style will come to more devices.
The HyperTone Image Engine brings AI denoising in the RAW domain. In addition to that, it also offers individual pixel brightness correction with photon matrix technology. As a result, you should get better-looking photos overall.
This image processing can increase image clarity & reduce noise by quite a bit, amongst other things
OPPO specifically said that HyperTone Image Engine can increase image clarity by 30%. It can also reduce image noise by 60%. It is essentially the company’s brand-new image processing.
The OPPO Find N3 already has great camera performance, but this new image processing tech could push things to a whole new level. We’re not sure when is the update coming, however.
It will land on the Chinese models first, of course. The aforementioned devices do have global models, however. So, it is coming to them as well. OPPO did not really share any information regarding that, unfortunately.
The OPPO Find X7 Ultra is the first phone to debut the tech. That phone also has an outstanding hardware camera setup on the back, arguably the best we’ve seen in the market thus far. Not only does it debut the Sony LYT-900 sensor, but it also has two periscope telephoto cameras. OPPO refers to this camera group as the ‘Quad Main Camera’ setup.
