Tecno revealed the company’s shift technology for smartphones back in December and is making announcements about a telescopic lens that is expected to dramatically improve its quality for macro photos but also the experience using these shots.
It is a telephoto macro lens that extends out from the body as shown in the video below it, and lets you get close-up shots without needing to get near to your subject. It comes with 5x optical zoom.
The final product is comparable as the primary camera’s capabilities, the company states. This is something we’ve never seen before in macro cameras.
This technology also permits the use of a larger aperture which can be vital for capturing good images.
In addition, Tecno says the design is extremely small and doesn’t require a large housing, but it didn’t give details.
The company hasn’t provided a specific date when we can expect the Tecno smartphone sporting the brand new telescopic lens. However, it’s likely to be in the coming year, we know for certain.
