Chinese brand Oppo may be best known for its smartphones, but the company is reportedly working on a compact camera, code-named \u201cFuyao,\u201d set to rival the recently released DJI Osmo Pocket 4<\/a> and other similar devices. Not much is known about the new Oppo hardware, though a leak suggests it will be announced and released in 2026 if everything goes to plan.<\/p>\n

Like DJI\u2019s Omso series, Fuyao is said to be a 3-axis gimbal camera designed for vlogging that will offer the smartphone manufacturer\u2019s high-quality camera quality within a dedicated device. Oppo phones are often praised for their versatile cameras \u2013 Oppo Find X9 Pro<\/a> ships with a detachable 230mm Hasselblad telephoto lens to complement its 200MP camera.<\/p>\n

Based on a leak shared by @jlxc2001 on X<\/a>, the vlogging camera is set to be available this year \u201cif development progresses smoothly\u201d [translated]. Exact specifications and the design of the device are yet to be made public, though the leaker did offer an AI-generated image to give us a rough idea of what it may look like. If this is anything to go by, it immediately looks similar to the Osmo Pocket 4, but with a smaller screen and little in the way of physical controls.<\/p>\n

The Osmo Pocket 4 was released last week, on April 16, just as we saw leaked prices for the upcoming DJI Lito 1 and Lito X1<\/a> \u2013 these lightweight drones are due to launch this Thursday, on April 23. Interestingly, the Pocket 4 is not available in the United States at launch, reportedly<\/a> due to a pending authorization application.<\/p>\n

In the UK<\/a>, the Pocket 4 \u2018Standard Combo\u2019 retails for \u00a3445, while the \u2018Creator Combo\u2019 features additional accessories and bumps the price up to \u00a3549 \u2013 this is actually cheaper than the last-gen Pocket 3, which originally debuted from \u00a3489. There\u2019s currently no suggestion as to how much Oppo\u2019s \u201cFuyao\u201d may cost, but we imagine it will be in the same ballpark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PC Guide is reader-supported.
