Your device’s hardware extends beyond its specifications and features. True smartphone afficionados understand the importance of the neuro processing unit (NPU) which powers the smartphone and OPPO has ensured that alongside producing smartphones with the latest features to complement users’ digital lifestyle, has also placed importance in developing a chipset dedicated to processing the most vibrant pictures taken by an OPPO smartphone. Named the MariSilicon X, the chipset uses cutting-edge 6nm process technology power and delivers 18 Trillion Operations Per Second (TOPS) of processing speeds while consuming just 11.6 TOPS per watt to achieve 20 times improvement in 4K AI processing. 

Photography is a huge aspect of smartphone usage and the MariSilicon X helps to power photography and enable it go the extra mile thanks to the large computing power and high data throughput which allows users to preserve the details in their images.

3. Augmented and extended reality is the future and OPPO is pushing AR boundaries

OPPO continues to explore the realm of augmented reality and understands the boundless potentials that it can offer in bettering the lives of users everywhere, even in critical fields such as healthcare. 

Impressive technology is no longer the only prerequisite for higher adopting of the innovation – function is equally as important and perhaps even more so. 

With this, OPPO has married both function and beauty with the OPPO Air Glass which touts an exterior that is sleek yet as light as a feather. OPPO Air Glass is designed to assist users in a variety of different situations and scenarios, providing timely notifications for the weather, calendar and health and fitness apps, even providing live translations as another person is speaking.

Intuitive is the word that comes to mind when users put the OPPO Find N to the test as it allows seamless unfolding into a landscape mode and thanks to an industry-leading hinge, there are minimal creases in the display. The OPPO self-designed Serene Display also allows for a more durable and reliable display with UTG + 12-layer screen design. 

Performance-wise, the OPPO Find N comes with a Snapdragon 888 processor, which improves CPU performance by 25% and GPU rendering speed by 35%, when compared with Snapdragon 870. All this makes the rollable phone concept not just a trendsetting innovation but one which is also functional.

5. OPPO is touching on R&D in the AR space with CybeRealOne thing which has enabled OPPO to unveil one powerful innovation after the next is its investment in the R&D process. OPPO has established its 5G Innovation Lab in India last year and recently unveiled its 5G Communication Lab in Shenzhen. These dedicated laboratories mark the firm steps OPPO is taking towards making more innovative use cases a reality. In the same vein, OPPO has unveiled a compelling AR experience through the AR application, CybeReal, which is powered by real-time, spatial computing technology. At the forefront, these innovations establish OPPO’s continuous effort towards R&D in the innovation sector and enables AR use cases to promote efficiency in the daily lives of its users.
