What Makes LUMO Lab Revolutionary?
Unlike generic camera tuning, LUMO Lab addresses India’s unique photography challenges—capturing authentic skin tones under mixed lighting, preserving vibrant festival colors, and rendering intricate textile textures accurately. The initiative brings OPPO’s imaging engineers together with acclaimed Indian photographers to refine algorithms specifically for local scenarios.
The collaboration starts with the Find X9 Series, featuring the world’s first True Colour Camera with an 8-channel spectral sensor analyzing 2+ million spectral pixels. It divides frames into 48 zones (6×8 grid), measuring subtle temperature variations to ensure natural skin tones even under candlelight, neon, or golden hour lighting.
LUMO Image Engine: The Real Game-Changer
While the 200MP Hasselblad telephoto grabs headlines, the LUMO Image Engine deserves equal attention. This computational photography suite harmonizes AI Denoise, AI Demosaic, HyperTone Engine, and Lightning Snap (10fps burst) through Parallel Computing architecture, delivering 50% less CPU usage, 60% lower memory consumption, and 50% power savings.
The efficiency breakthrough enables two industry firsts: full 50MP default capture across all three rear cameras (4x more detail than standard 12MP) and 4K Motion Photos merging still images with short 4K clips—redefining moment capture entirely.
Simon Liu, Global Imaging Director at OPPO, emphasized LUMO Lab’s mission: creating technology that acts as a creative partner, empowering photographers and everyday users to express themselves freely while celebrating India’s rich visual tapestry.
Find X9 Pro: Telephoto Powerhouse
The 200MP Hasselblad Telephoto Camera (1/1.56-inch sensor) delivers 13.2x lossless zoom through intelligent sensor cropping, extending to 120x hybrid zoom. Unlike digital zoom magnifying pixels, this captures genuine optical detail maintaining sharpness at distance—perfect for concerts, wildlife, and sporting events.
Active Optical Alignment technology calibrates each device’s lens-to-sensor relationship individually, boosting effective resolution by 15%. The optional Hasselblad Teleconverter transforms the phone into a 10x optical super-zoom powerhouse (230mm equivalent) enabling 200x digital zoom for photos and 50x for video.
Both models feature Real-Time Triple Exposure HDR capturing bright, medium, and dark exposures simultaneously using the Sony LYT-828 sensor (Find X9 Pro) and LYT-808 (Find X9), eliminating ghosting from moving subjects completely.
Available November 18 on Amazon and Flipkart, the Find X9 Series runs ColorOS 16 based on Android 16. For more smartphone photography innovations, bookmark our tech section.
