OPPO's upcoming Find X8 series will include a pressure-sensitive camera shutter button that is reminiscent of Apple's new camera control feature introduced with the iPhone 16.
The iPhone 16's camera control is a pressure-sensitive button that allows users to interact with the camera in ways that were previously only possible with on-screen gestures, and can perform functions such as launching the camera, taking a photo, switching between cameras, and zooming in. Chinese smartphone maker OPPO recently confirmed that its upcoming Find X8 series will feature a similar camera shutter button (via Android Authority).
OPPO product manager Zhou Yibao revealed on Chinese social media platform Weibo that the Find X8 series will feature a pressure-sensitive button designed to make camera control easier. According to Zhou, the button will allow users to quickly launch the camera app with a double-tap and swipe to zoom, which clearly echoes Apple's implementation. Zhou also noted that the camera button on the OPPO device was specifically designed for underwater use.
Vivo's recently launched X200 series also shows similarities to the iPhone, supporting 4K video recording at 120 fps and cinematic slow-motion video shooting – features that are closely related to those recently introduced in Apple's iPhone 16 Pro models. The X200 also supports Live Photos, which are compatible with the iPhone.
Vivo's X200 series also introduces “Origin Island,” a dynamic interface feature that is strikingly similar to Apple's “Dynamic Island” on the iPhone. Similar to Apple's implementation, Origin Island provides real-time notifications, multitasking capabilities, and cross-app operations in a single interactive space.
