@@realcyphox5919 he's not saying OP7 is the first motorized pop up camera 🧐

I think the problem is, this mechanism decreases the possible thickness of the camera unit, thus making it lower quality. Same sensor as oneplus but probably worse (because flater) optics. I might be wrong.

Exactly, if it works well, the camera can track things like cars or people while you hold the phone still. That would provide *much* smoother panning and tracking shots. Auto panorama sounds very promising. Adjusting the camera angle separately from the screen angle would greatly improve video-calling. Who knows what else people will come up with for apps for it. Very short sighted to dismiss it so quickly. People complain *so much* that each phone is the same as the previous model with tiny tweaks. People complain so much that there's no innovation, and when something innovative is made, it's too expensive, like the folding phone. But here's innovation. Here's a new idea to solve an actual problem, *and* introduce new features at the same time. It looks like a great implementation, too. I'm a big fan of this camera idea, and I hope it works out well for them.

@@YounesLayachi ya Dave is not the most rigorous in his research.

Thor: I will hold that beer

I think they're even based on value. ASUS has storage expansion, headphone jack, and a lower price. However, OP7's display is arguably the best display out there right now and their approach to the front-facing camera seems more reliable along with more storage on the base model. Emphasis on the screen because that, what I believe, is the most important part of a phone in this day and age. Of course, battery life is important too. But honestly, most phones nowadays can last 1-1.5 days on a full battery, including both of these phones. I think what matters more is the recharge rate at this point, something the OP7 has the upper hand in. I believe it comes to a person's budget. If you can afford the OP7, go for it. If you can't Zenfone it is.

Oppo already released such a rotating camera in 2014. and it died pretty quickly. This gimmick is definitely not a game changer... it's just a bad Solution for actually nothing. Just to get a 0.2% higher screen to body ratio. In 1-2 years no one will see those motorized cameras again because they all put it under the screen.

That's exactly what I thought. You could record people without them knowing

Not much if you still got shutter sound. Nowadays phones disable the mute for that reason.

Bintang - I don't know of any phones that force you to use a shutter sound... Everyone else - this camera does stick out a bit if you're recording this style of photos/videos, so someone might notice. That being said, it is far better for being sneaky to have a tiny moveable camera than to lift up the entire phone and point it at someone. Also, because this phone is relatively unknown, I'd say it's pretty likely that nobody will know you're even using a camera. So you're probably right - you could definitely get away with a lot more secretive recording.
