OPPO showcases cutting edge technological and smart connectivity innovations at the Mobile World Congress, Shanghai
Riyadh, Gulf Tech – OPPO, the world’s leading smart device company, recently
showcased its 5G state-of-the art technological advancements and a host of innovations in
device charging, 5G connectivity and smart technology at the Mobile World Congress, Shanghai
2021 (MWC).
Since its launch in Saudi Arabia in 2019 OPPO has demonstrated incredible growth to become
the fifth most popular smartphone in the Kingdom driven by its commitment to digital
innovation and product development, which included the launch of two generations of the
Reno handset in 2020, the Reno3 and Reno4 series, as well as the Find X2 Pro.
The MWCS guests can get up close to the OPPO X 2021 concept phone, which features a screen
that unrolls from 6.7 to 7.4 inches, showcasing the latest screen form advancements in the
mobile industry. To compliment the futuristic technologies, OPPO also demonstrated it
Wireless Air Charging innovation which uses magnetic resonance technology to begin charging
as soon as the phone is within 10cm of its charging mat, with up to 7.5W of charging power.
Also launched was The Flash Initiative, a new era in mobile charging technology based around
OPPO’s pioneering VOOC flash charging, which OPPO has developed alongside FAW-
Volkswagen, Anker and NXP Semiconductors, leaders in their respective fields of automobiles,
portable charging and chip manufacture. The Flash Initiative was born from OPPO’s
commitment to make consumers’ lives as easy as possible, as it takes its groundbreaking IP
beyond consumer’s phone chargers at home, expanding to cars, public spaces and chips inside
a wide variety of technologies. As part of the initiative OPPO has applied for more than 2,950
flash charging patents worldwide, with over 1,400 already granted.
Adler Feng, Senior Director of Intellectual Property at OPPO said: “The Flash Initiative reflects
OPPO’s belief in human-centric technologies that make a difference in people’s everyday lives.
And thanks to our new partners, our proprietary technologies can reach more people than ever
before. This is a vital step in freeing consumers to use their devices however they want, no
matter what they need to do or where in the world they are.”
OPPO also used the opportunity of the MWC to demonstrate how it is expanding its portfolio
beyond mobile phones to embrace wider smart technology. It has invested heavily in R&D to
develop frontier technologies and create unparalleled products including its 5G CPE Omni, a
futuristic technology that converts the 5G mobile signal into a stable Wi-Fi connection. The
super high-speed WI-FI can support the Internet of Things (IoT) in the smart home of the future,
from cloud-based gaming that doesn’t require a console, to home energy management,
limitless video communication and virtualized data storage.
OPPO also featured its cutting-edge 125W flash charger on the stand which can charge a
4000mAh phone battery to 100% in just 20 minutes, together with an O-Reserve 5G antenna
system which automatically ensures the best possible signal and O-Motion 360° technology that
can fully rotate its antennae for the CPE’s optimum 5G millimeter wave signal reception. OPPO
and Ericsson recently completed successful tests of 5G millimeter wave technology with the 5G
CPE Omni, achieving downlink speeds of 4.06Gbps. OPPO has its sights set on a connected
future. Over half its business is dedicated to exploring exciting new technologies like AI, IoT and
Big Data. Its success at the MWC has shown the future is in a multi-portal smart device
ecosystem and that OPPO is determined to be at the forefront, making innovation challenges a
reality.
