OPPO has painted a very impressive picture of how mobile tech should be in 2023 during the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The OPPO booth inside the Fira Gran Via at the  L'Hospitalet de Llobregat rose prominently and even a tad above others with a showcase of its latest innovative technologies from a selection of flagship devices including the pocketable OPPO Find N2 Flip, to a number of industry-leading innovations based on its four Smart Initiatives - smart entertainment, smart productivity, smart health, and smart learning. "As the world’s fourth largest mobile phone brand, OPPO has showcased a series of innovations at MWC23, from folding flagship phones to the latest technology behind the Internet of Experience. By bringing new technology breakthroughs to market, we are unlocking new possibilities for smart living to better serve our users worldwide," said Billy Zhang, President of Overseas Sales and Service, OPPO.

The "Big Flip"

OPPO created a stir in the congress with its Find N2 Flip, arguably the best flip phone on the market today. Measuring 3.26 inches, Find N2 Flip's cover screen is the largest of any flip phone currently available, making everything smarter and easier to do.
Its 50MP main camera, MariSilicon X NPU and Hasselblad imaging system combine to deliver a professional camera experience. Equipped with the New Generation Flexion Hinge, Find N2 Flip supports multi-angle FlexForm mode, allowing the screen to be set at any angle between 45-110 degrees. And thanks to the new Flexion Hinge, the crease of Find N2 Flip remains unobtrusive even with long-term use. Find N2 Flip also comes with a massive 4,300mAh battery and 44W SUPERVOOCTM fast charging, making it the first flip to comfortably last a full day of typical use. Moreover, OPPO Find N2 Flip and Find N2 have been appointed as Official Smartphones of the UEFA Champions League. UEFA Champions League Ambassadors and football stars, Michael Owen and Luis Garcia both joined OPPO on the first day of MWC, becoming the first global users to experience the incredible OPPO Find N2 Flip. Sharing the limelight with OPPO Find N2 Flip are OPPO Enco X2, OPPO Watch 3 Pro, OPPO Pad, and OPPO 45W Liquid Cooler.

Unlocking new possibilities for smart living

To reinforce its position as a future-focused company especially on Smart Living Initiatives, OPPO also showcased milestones in "Virtuous Innovation" based on its four internal Smart Initiatives: smart entertainment, smart productivity, smart health, and smart learning. These OPPO breakthroughs are all meant to provide more ways to empower smart, connected experiences in the future. For “smart productivity,” OPPO has introduced the OPPO Wi-Fi 6 Router AX5400, based on the Qualcomm Immersive Home 216 Platform. It is OPPO’s first Wi-Fi router product, capable of providing a 2.4GHz+5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi signal at the same time. The combination of its high-gain antennas, OPPO’s self-developed anti-interference algorithm and network directional speed-up technology enables Wi-Fi with wider coverage, enhanced stability, and faster speeds. The elegant cylindrical appearance with hidden antennas makes it fit perfectly within a modern, minimalist home, while the unique internal structure helps improve heat dissipation, ensuring always-on connectivity that covers every corner of the home. There is also the OPPO Zero-Power Tag, the first prototype device based on OPPO Zero-power Communication technology. Leveraging key technologies such as RF signal harvesting, backscattering, and low-power computing, it harvests radio waves from the surrounding area to power its own functionality and communicate battery-free in order to meet the diverse needs of IoT in the coming 6G era. This is the first time that OPPO has demonstrated the OPPO Zero-Power Tag’s capabilities in item identification and positioning, and data collection from temperature sensors, both powered by RF energy. OPPO is also showcasing its extensive achievements across other Smart Initiatives, such as OPPO’s first self-developed flagship Bluetooth audio SoC, MariSilicon Y, the new-generation, ultra-light AR glasses, OPPO Air Glass 2, OPPO’s first family health monitor concept device OHealth H1, and OPPO’s first end-to-end power management chip SUPERVOOC S.

Technological milestones with different partners

OPPO has also jointly demonstrated a number of technological milestones with different partners, including select proposals from the OPPO Research Institute Innovation Accelerator: EEG Hearables from IDUN Technologies and Cynteract’s glove designed to help people with hand injuries to recover more effectively; hardware accelerated ray tracing technology on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform; innovative Android features like Nearby Share and Fast Pair on OPPO flagship smartphones, and trials of Google One and YouTube Premium for up to 6 months, with selected OPPO devices.

And more "pluses"

As an active advocate in corporate social responsibility, OPPO has committed to achieving carbon neutrality across its global operations by 2050. Under its corporate mission of “Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World”, OPPO has taken action to integrate sustainability into its long-term development strategy. By the end of 2022, OPPO managed to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from its operations by 6,000 tons annually. Starting with the European market in 2023, OPPO will remove virtually all plastics from the external packaging of its mobile phone products and will ensure that all packaging materials are made from 100% biodegradable materials. On the opening day of MWC2023, OPPO has also published its first Climate Action Report, the OPPO Climate Action Report: Climate Pledges and Low Carbon Development Strategy, co-developed with global consultancy, Deloitte. The report proposes OPPO’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality across its global operations by 2050, and outlines its future blueprint for low carbon development. With these plans, OPPO will transform its entire business into a low-carbon enterprise.
