Updated less than 0 just now ago Table of Contents The iPhone 16 is not the only recently released smartphone with a separate camera control system, as the Oppo Find X8 Pro also has a similar alternate way to interact with the camera on the side of the device.
Related Oppo has a similar control on the side of the Find X8 Pro called the Quick Button, but the name is rather misleading as it’s not really a button as such at all. There’s no physical element to it, and it instead uses haptic feedback when you touch a certain part of the phone’s chassis to let you know it’s working. Double-press from the lock screen to open the camera app, press again to take a photo or hold for burst mode, and swipe left and right to adjust the zoom.
Maybe I was thinking deeply about this because it came right after I spent a week with an electric car where I was flung into a world where almost everything was controlled and activated using a big touchscreen or capacitive buttons and sliders. The conversation around touchscreens versus physical buttons and controls in cars has raged for years, but this was the first time I’d come face-to-face with a similar situation on a smartphone.
The iPhone’s Camera Control is different. It combines the convenient haptics of a capacitive control with the physicality of an actual button you have to press. By rights, this should mean it doesn’t feel quite as modern as the Oppo’s Quick Control and, therefore, should be considered inferior. In reality, the iPhone’s Camera Control increases functionality and engagement and, in turn, feels luxurious, like you’re interacting with a highly engineered, precise piece of equipment.
Capturing the emotion of photography There you have it, a high-tech, futuristic virtual button versus a timeless, luxurious real button. The Oppo Find X8 Pro’s capacitive button always feels “of its time,” and when using it, I never felt like it was there to make me enjoy using the phone more.
