Round cameras, the latest trend in premium cell phones: the best Chinese models available in Argentina

This spherical format offers a more balanced distribution of internal space and facilitates the integration of larger sensors, periscopic optics, advanced stabilization and cooling systems around the photographic block. The trend is already reaching the Argentine market with six models from Asian manufacturers that adopt this configuration as a hallmark.

From the mechanical level, the circular architecture optimizes the distribution of the components around the photographic module and simplifies the incorporation of larger sensors, periscopic telephoto lenses and advanced stabilization systems.

The technological leap is also reflected in the video. Large format sensors, AI processing, 10-bit HDR recording, and multi-axis optical stabilization enable sharper images, accurate colors, and smooth motion.

The combination improves color reproduction, expands dynamic range, and preserves more information in highlights and shadows. The result is reflected in cleaner night scenes, more stable movements and image quality that increasingly reduces the distance in front of professional cameras. HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro, HONOR Magic8 Pro, Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Vivo X300 Pro and Tecno Camon 30S PRO adopt the module as a platform to integrate the most advanced photographic systems from each manufacturer. Below, the main characteristics of each of them.

The alliance with Leica powers one of the most ambitious photographic systems in the segment. It combines a 50 MP one-inch main sensor, a 200 MP periscopic telephoto lens and a 50 MP ultra wide angle lens. The set preservesa high level of detail even at high zoom levels, improves night shooting and portraits with a natural separation between the subject and the background.

It comes with a 6.9-inch 120 Hz LTPO AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, vapor chamber cooling system, 120Hz battery. 6,000 mAh and 90 W fast wired charging, as well as 50 W wireless charging. HyperOS 3 incorporates artificial intelligence functions to optimize performance and image editing. 8K video recording with advanced optical stabilization. It also incorporates Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, Bluetooth 6.0, IP68 certification against water and dust, and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the screen. It is available for 3,200,000 pesos.

The space ring photographic module is the main protagonist. With a 50 MP Ultra Lighting camera with variable f/1.4-f/4.0 physical aperture, a 48 MP macro telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom and a 40 MP ultra wide angle lens, assisted by the True-to-Colour sensor. The software improves color fidelity, night shots, portrait and stability during 4K video recording.

It comes with a 6.75-inch LTPO OLED display with adaptive frequency of 1 to 120 Hz, Kirin 9030 Pro processor, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, 5,750 mAh battery, 100 W wired and 80 W wireless fast charging, plus Kunlun Glass 2 and IP68/IP69 protection. It is available for2,500,000 pesos.

It brings together a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP periscopic telephoto 200 MP with 3.7x optical zoom and a 50 MP ultra wide angle, backed by AI algorithms. The configuration preserves a high level of detail at long distances, improves portraiture and offers video recording with advanced stabilization and wide rangedynamic.

Inside it integrates a 6.8″ LTPO OLED screen with adaptive frequency from 1 to 120 Hz and PWM dimming of 4,320 Hz. The chip is Snapdragon 8 Elite, silicon-carbon battery up to 7,100 mAh, 100 W wired and 80 W wireless fast charging, as well as 3D facial unlocking and ultrasonic fingerprint reader. It is around 1,900,000 pesos.
