Every manufacturer is looking for ways to woo potential buyers. Most of them create marketing hypes to allure customers to increase their sales figures. Of course, we do see useful features too. And, what about those multiple sensors on the rear?

We were happy with a single camera setup a few years ago. Then, came dual optics technology for depth sensing, telephoto, wide-angle view, etc. Just as anyone would expect, the market took it by storm. Obviously, companies upped their games with a triple, quad, and even penta camera setups.

So yeah, the offline market was the prime focus of Oppo, before a few years. However, they realized the potential of eCommerce very late. However, another BBK kid, OnePlus were rocking in the mid-range segment until they climbed up the pricing ladder to lose enter the list of top-end flagships.
