OPPO has a more specific target. Their new product, the new OPPO Find X series will be launched in Q1 2021 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G Mobile Platform.

With the faster gigapixel speed Qualcomm Spectra™ ISP, users can capture photos and videos at 2.7 gigapixels per second or roughly 120 photos at 12MP resolution—up to 35% faster than the previous generation.
I tried to do a comparison among the Snapdragon mobile chipset. However, it seems that Qualcomm website is very slow and unresponsive. Thankfully, Android Authority has done a great job on explaining the Snapdragon 888. Click HERE to check it out.
