OPPO Find X8 Pro's "Quick Capture Button": A Design Focused on Intuition and Experience

Zhou Yibo, Head of OPPO Find Series, revealed yesterday that the Find X8 Pro will feature a dedicated camera button, named "Quick Capture Button." Today, he addressed some questions from users online and encouraged them to experience the feature for themselves.

"Can't you just use the volume button for photos?" This is an interesting question, reflecting a common phenomenon: frequent users of digital devices may know that the volume button can be used for taking photos, but the majority of users in everyday life are unaware of this feature. A random street survey or a poll among family and friends would reveal that over 95% of people do not know that the volume button can be used for photography. For average consumers, the volume button is simply for volume control and they don't associate it with taking photos, especially in "urgent" capture scenarios. Users' immediate instinctive reaction is to not think of using the volume button or even searching for a quick capture/sports mode. This is the magic of experiential psychology, where intuitive design is critical.

Furthermore, volume button settings cannot support both taking photos and zooming simultaneously, requiring a choice between the two. The "Quick Capture Button," however, gracefully addresses the need for both intuition and experience, offering a dedicated button specifically for photography. With its simple and intuitive operation, it allows for quick capture of fleeting moments.

"Why can't it be used underwater? Shouldn't it work under rain due to the water touch feature?" While the OPPO Find X8 Pro supports water touch functionality, being fully submerged in water is different from a rain-based scenario. In water, the touchscreen's responsiveness is affected, making it impossible to guarantee normal operation.

"What's the difference between a fixed button and a press-to-activate button?" This is similar to the distinction between front-mounted fixed fingerprint unlocking and press-to-activate fingerprint unlocking years ago. Fixed buttons require simply touching the surface, while press-to-activate buttons necessitate firm pressure. Pressing can cause the phone to shake, so the Find X8 Pro's "Quick Capture Button" has been specifically designed as a fixed button, providing more stable operation and resulting in clearer photographs.

Zhou Yibo concluded by sharing some photos he took using the "Quick Capture Button," including shots from rafting, stream trekking, capturing children, and pets. These moments, often exhibiting exaggerated expressions, were previously difficult to capture. However, the "Quick Capture Button" has made it easier to capture those precious moments.

The "Quick Capture Button" design reflects OPPO's commitment to user experience. It's not just a simple button, but embodies a design philosophy, exemplifying a deep understanding of user needs. In an era of rapid change, capturing fleeting moments and preserving cherished memories is something everyone desires. And the OPPO Find X8 Pro's "Quick Capture Button" was born to fulfill this very need.
