As smartphone makers are desperately trying to annihilate the camera camera notch, we’ve seen lots of strange ideas, but Oppo’s latest attempt in its leaked Oppo Reno smartphone might be one of the strangest yet. According to images from
Slashleaks the notch will be a wedge-shaped pop-up front-facing camera that gives the weird impression that the phone is raising a judging eyebrow look at you.
Oppo will launch the Reno as its new brand for high-end phones and this one does look a little bizarre, but we kind of like the idea: sort of a compromise between Oppo’s early sliding efforts on the bulky Oppo Find X.
Slashleaks also has posted a video showing off the slider in action, which seems to back the idea that the Reno leaks are real. Plus it looks like the pop-up eyebrow camera has a few added benefits due to its larger size, which allows it to include a speaker and front-facing flash without compromising that bezel-free look.
We only have the video and pictures and nothing much beyond that, which means, there’s not much more information about the Oppo Reno — specs, price, and release date have all yet to be revealed. But love it or hate it, it’s good to see that Oppo is still willing to try almost anything to kill the notch.
