‘Self-Portraits’ Via Phone Have Come A Long Way. Here Are A Few Milestones From The Journey!

“First, let me take a selfie.”

The front camera of the phone most definitely revolutionised the whole clicking game! It ended your everlasting quest to find someone to click your pictures and gave you the priceless gift to see the frame and yourself on the screen before clicking it.

Also, it goes without saying, that selfies have taught a lot of us to love ourselves, click a loooot of images, and embrace and celebrate our uniqueness and flaws!

But, you might not have noticed that selfies have come a long way. Here are a few milestones from the splendid journey.

1. 2011 – The Original Beauty Mode

OPPO introduced the original beauty mode back in 2011, and made the filters and beautifying apps redundant right there. OPPO U701 came out with this feature which enhanced your skin but did not make it look artificially softened or super bright like other smartphones.

You won’t disagree with me when I’ll say that it was a smashing move!

 

2. 2012 – Widest 80° Field Of View

One of the disadvantages of selfies that people complained about was the difficulty to fit a large group of people in one frame. Well, OPPO ULIKE 2 made it obsolete 4 years ago. With an 80° field of view, clicking awesome group selfies became epic again!

 

3. 2013 – World’s First 206° Rotating Camera

Most of the people I know brag about their awesome rear camera, but when it comes to their front camera, it comes back to low-res images. For all the people who wish if their rear camera could be used as front, catch on! OPPO N1 did that back in 2013.

 

4. 2014 – World’s Only Automatic Rotating Camera

A step forward towards convenience where your awesome camera automatically rotated after flipping the lens in your app. OPPO N3 clearly won this one!

 

5. 2015 – First Front Facing Flash

I always cursed my luck when all the pubs, parties, and fancy restaurants I went to had low lighting. Dark selfies with grains became a regular thing until OPPO R7 came out with its amazing front facing flash! ?

 

6. 2016 – Defining The Selfie Expert

And then came the ultimate king, the selfie expert: OPPO F1!

An 8-megapixel front shooter for selfies, a wide f/2.0 aperture lens and a sensor size of ¼ inches allowing more light to enter the camera, Beautify 3.0 so that you look stunning all the time, and screen flash for perfect selfies in low light.

 

7. 2016 – 16MP Front Facing Camera

16 MEGAPIXEL FRONT CAMERA, I think that says it all. OPPO F1 Plus dethroned its brother with full style.

The Hi-light Camera mode so that your selfies always turn out bright and clear no matter what time of the day you are taking them, clearer selfies with the ISOCELL technology which reduces interference between pixels, Beauty 4.0 and a comfort grip.

 

If you wish to witness the whole evolution in 110 seconds, here’s the video for you!

OPPO has always always been a step ahead…and looks like it’ll always be! ?
