Weve entered crunch time for getting all of those last minute teasers out before the kick of Mobile World Congress, the years biggest smart phone show. Some have been cagey around their big news ahead of the event in Barcelona, while others, like LG havent left much all that to the imagination.

Oppo, the rising-est star in a Chinese market full of them, is playing its cards close to the vest with its own announcement. The company, which sprung to the top of Chinas smartphone sales last year, thanks to a 122-percent year-on-year increase in sales, isnt talking device yet, so much as underlying technology.

The company used the opportunity to discuss past years focus on imagining, including a slew of products with devoted selfie technologies, like last years Selfie Expert series of handsets, which featured a front-facing 16-megapixel camera.

The next step is something Oppos currently referring to as the 5x Project, which according to the press material, will give users unprecedented ability to capture highly detailed images. Not much in the way of details at this early stage, but the focus (as it were) seems to be on hi-res image processing, and, hopefully, more than just super detailed selfies.
