Following in Apple’s footsteps, Chinese phone maker Oppo has confirmed that it will be adding a “Camera control” like button to the much anticipated Find X8. Like the iPhone 16, the new button, dubbed “Quick Capture” is placed on the right side of the phone

The news comes from Oppo’s Find series product manager, Zhou Yibao, who demoed the new button in a video posted on the popular social media platform Weibo. In the video, you can see that the new capacitive button works similarly to the ones on the iPhone 16 series.

Users can double-tap on it to open the Camera app, long press to capture photos and even swipe it sideways to control zoom levels. Yibao says that the new “Quick Capture” button can even be used to click photos underwater, which is useful since most displays do not respond to touches when submerged in water.
