Oppo's “self-developed retractable camera” is seen extending from the phone’s body before retracting back inside. The company is also expected to unveil the Find N, its first foldable device, which is a result of Oppo's four years of intense R&D and six generations of prototypes.

According to the video, the camera mechanism is waterproof as one can see water splashing on the lens, and it would automatically retract the camera if the device is dropped.
