TECNO is reportedly working on a smartphone with a retractable telescopic lens.
Towards this goal, the smartphone maker went ahead and introduced the world’s first telescopic macro lens claimed to not only improve the quality of macro pictures but also the whole experience of taking them.
As shown in the teaser video below, the smartphone features a telephoto macro lens that extends from the body and allows you to take close-up shots without having to get too close to the subject.
It offers 5x optical zoom on top of which, the company claims the end result is comparable to the main camera’s image.
It’s a piece of fascinating innovation that we haven’t seen before with the current macro cameras. The camera tech will also allow for a bigger aperture, crucial for taking good photos.
TECNO added that the camera design is moderately compact and won’t require large housing, but failed to provide specifics.
Exactly when we should expect a TECNO smartphone with this telescopic macro lens is unknown, however, it’ll likely arrive sometime this year.
