Oppo launches U3 5.9-inch phablet
As expected Chinese manufacturer Oppo has today announced its latest 5.9-inch phablet model, the Oppo U3. The phone is aiming to compete with other large high-end devices, such as the Google Nexus 6 or Apple iPhone 6 Plus, and was rumored to come with a 4x zoom lens. Unfortunately those rumors have turned out to be untrue. The U3 comes with a conventional fixed-focal-length lens coupled with a 1/3.06-inch 13MP Sony IMX214 BSI CMOS sensor. Like previous Oppo models the U3 offers an interpolation mode that is capable of capturing 50MP images.
Shooting modes include a night mode, Ultimate Beauty 3.0 and a 120fps slow-motion video mode in addition to standard 1080p video. The front camera captures 5MP wide-angle images, according to the manufacturer making it suitable for group selfies.
The large 5.9-inch IPS display comes with with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Thankfully it covers almost 75% of the device front, making the overall size more bearable. Nonetheless the U3 comes with a few software features aimed at making one-handed operation easier. In combination with 2GB RAM the 64-bit Mediatek octa-core processor should provide plenty of power and 16GB internal memory can be expanded via a microSD slot. Other notable features include a AK4961 audio chip for Hi-Fi quality audio output and a fast charging mode that can achieve up to 75% charge in 30 minutes.
The Oppo U3 will be available in white or dark blue but unfortunately no details on pricing and availability have been released yet.

The Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 (G110 in some regions) is a mirrorless camera designed for vlogging. Its 20MP Four Thirds sensor is paired with clever tracking audio technology, but we have our reservations.
The GFX 100S fits most of the capabilities of the GFX 100 into a smaller and more affordable body. We've tested what the camera offers to see who it might make sense for.
The Sony Alpha 1 is Sony's flagship mirrorless camera for, well, just about anything. With a 50MP sensor, it gives you tons of resolution, but it also lets you fire off burst images at 30 fps for fast action sports. Add in 8K video capture and you have a really impressive package.
