Another day, another teaser from Oppo but this one is quite something. As we all know, the upcoming Oppo N3 will feature a swivel camera, much like the original Oppo N1. Unlike the Oppo N1 which you needed to manually swivel, however, the N3 will apparently swivel automatically.
What you see in the video above is the motorized swivel camera in action. As you switch from rear to front facing mode or vice versa, the camera will apparently automatically swivel and adjust accordingly. While it’s a really neat idea, moving parts on a device that is in constant motion and often gets bumped around and sometimes dropped may not be the best idea.
Although I’m a little sceptical of the durability of such a system, Oppo has proven that they can put together some rather durable hardware so I’ll hope for the best on this guy I guess.
What do you guys think? Good idea or bad?
