OPPO Find X7 Ultra DXOMARK

Combining world-first breakthroughs in camera hardware with OPPO’s powerful HyperTone Camera System, cutting-edge computational photography, and pro-grade Hasselblad tuning, Find X7 Ultra achieved a best-in-class overall Camera score of 157, with a record-setting sub-score for Bokeh and the highest Video sub-score of any Android smartphone.

Excellent camera experience in all conditions

Find X7 Ultra’s incredible camera system achieved top scores in many real-world scenarios.

Smartphones notoriously struggle to capture indoor photos with mixed and artificial light, but Find X7 Ultra excelled in DXOMARK’s tests, with record-setting scores in various conditions including Indoor, Night-Time and Friend & Family categories, demonstrating the power and versatility of OPPO’s HyperTone Camera System.

“OPPO Find X7 Ultra’s camera performance is excellent across all of our tests, with exceptional portrait rendering, as well as best-in-class zoom and detail preservation for both photo and video.”

Olympe Corblet, Image Science Engineer/Product Owner, DXOMARK

No.1 Rated Smartphone for Bokeh

OPPO Find X7 Ultra’s Hasselblad Portrait Mode was recognised by DXOMARK as being standout, ranking first among all smartphones. Bokeh highlights included precise and accurate foreground, subject and background segmentation with minimal artifacts, respectful skin tone reproduction, and more detailed results than competitor portrait modes.

This world-class portrait photography is made possible by the new Hasselblad Portrait Mode, created by OPPO in partnership with Hasselblad to bring its classical portrait style to Find X7 Ultra.

With master photographers in mind, Find X7 Ultra’s Portrait Mode captures at four focal lengths: 23mm, 44mm, 65mm, and 135mm. Each is calibrated to a different Hasselblad lens, producing cinematic bokeh with foreground and background depth, able to recognise a single strand of hair for ultimate accuracy.

No.1 Rated Android Smartphone for Video

The only Android smartphone to achieve a DXOMARK Video score of 156 in addition to the highest score in noise handling of any smartphone, Find X7 Ultra’s powerful video capture, highlights its status as an imaging champion and a powerful tool for creators and filmmakers.

Thanks to its advanced camera sensors, Find X7 Ultra can also capture 10-bit Dolby Vision HDR video at 4K resolution with seamless transitions across all four cameras for a pro-grade video camera experience.

Find X7 Ultra – The Ultimate Camera Phone

DXOMARK’s findings confirm that Find X7 Ultra is the Ultimate Camera Phone. With four 50MP cameras with large sensors, one debuting Sony’s second-generation 1-inch sensor for mobile, and two of which are periscope zoom cameras, it bridges the zoom gap between optical focal lengths like never before on a smartphone.

This world-class imaging system creates a best-in-class photography and video experience, so you can confidently capture your next masterpiece knowing you’re shooting on a competition-beating camera.

OPPO announces high-precision RTK (real-time kinematic) positioning algorithm, heading into a new era of mobile positioning technology

OPPO has launched a self-developed industry-leading high-precision positioning algorithm which will enable the mobile phone navigation system to provide accurate location within a one-meter radius.

Levin Liu, OPPO Vice President and Head of OPPO Research Institute, said, “In this 5G era, where connectivity is fundamental, various applications require an improved navigation system for both indoor and outdoor uses. In response to this growing market demand, OPPO is implementing its high-precision RTK positioning technology to smartphones and we believe this technology will benefit a wide range of uses”.

To improve user experience in mobile navigation, OPPO brought in RTK technology to smartphones to complement current positioning technology. RTK positioning technology is based on carrier phase measurement. It processes the data obtained between measuring stations in real-time to deliver precise positioning.

In the past, this technology was mainly used for industrial measuring, which utilizes large complex systems, thereby not suitable for smartphones. OPPO developed an algorithm that uses information from existing mobile phone sensors including accelerometers and gyroscopes to improve positioning accuracy and reduce the effect of signal interference.

Currently, OPPO is working on perfecting and commercializing its technology, which is set to be commercially available in 2021.

Orange and OPPO announce European co-innovation partnership to pioneer open market device personalisation

Orange and OPPO today announced a co-innovation partnership agreement that will help to deliver Orange services to a broad range of OPPO’s smartphones and IoT devices to Europe, with a view to extending this further across the Orange footprint.

A primary goal of the partnership is to create innovative solutions jointly to meet the evolving needs from consumers. This partnership will significantly simplify and improve the customer journey and experience for consumers, enabling them to access Orange services more smoothly and effortlessly.

The availability of 5G will also create more ways for consumers to connect and presents new opportunities for the industry. OPPO has launched several key IoT products beyond smartphones such as the OPPO Watch and has assembled a team of experts to develop leading solutions with its partners. OPPO works closely with them to create solutions that make it easier to access operator services while adapting to the ever-changing landscape of the mobile industry, such as the growing open market segment. The combination of OPPO’s vision and technical capability with Orange’s extensive network and customer experience ideally enables both parties to design new and pioneering solutions to address these specific market needs.

Personalisation of Open Market Devices

In Q1 2020, Orange noted a 4.6% quarter-on-quarter increase of Android™ devices from the open market connecting to the Orange European network. The personalisation of open market devices is an Orange innovation and is activated upon detection of an Orange SIM card on a smartphone. This enables Orange to use OPPO’s over-the-air provisioning service to seamlessly load Orange services like My Orange/Orange et Moi or Orange TV, giving customers immediate, easy access to key services unique to Orange and thus greatly improving the experience for customers.

Alen Wu, Vice President and President of Global Sales, OPPO said: “Over the years, OPPO has evolved into more than a smartphone company as we expand our offerings to IoT products and co-develop leading technology solutions for our industry partners. We are glad to see the co-innovation partnership with Orange unlocking great potential both in the wearable and the open market space in Europe, and we look forward to exploring further opportunities in the future.”

Philippe Lucas, EVP, Customer Equipment & Partnerships at Orange, said: “With the Orange personalisation, customers can get access to the full suite of Orange services whether they purchase their OPPO devices from Orange channels or the open market. This partnership with OPPO fulfils our local markets’ need for new and feature-rich smartphones and wearables and enables Orange to deliver an unmatched customer experience.”

OPPO Launches ColorOS 11 Globally with Rich Customization in the Android 11 Rollout’s First Wave

The world-leading smartphone brand OPPO held the global launch for its all-new ColorOS 11 today via an online press conference, making history as one of the first OEMs to bring the latest Android 11 update to global users. With its “Make Life Flow” concept, ColorOS 11 maintains the beloved stock Android features while also providing the rich UI customization sought by OPPO users. Its rapid launch, which follows on the heels of Google’s Android 11 announcement, is the result of a close collaboration between the two companies to realize the launch in record time.

A new level of UI customization to unleash your personality
ColorOS 11 offers an unprecedented level of UI customization to help users unleash their imagination and personalize their experience. Users can essentially create their own Always-On Display, theme, and wallpaper, as well as fonts, icons, and ringtones. This latest upgrade also enhances stock Android’s Dark Mode with three colour schemes and levels of contrast. Meanwhile, OPPO Relax 2.0 lets users create their own white noise mix while also offering an extensive and immersive collection of sounds from cities around the world.

“ColorOS 11’s focus on UI customization is rooted in the customer’s desire for a more personalized and unique phone experience,” says Lynn Ni, OPPO ColorOS Design Project Lead. “The ColorOS team has heeded the user feedback for greater UI customization, offering a more personalized UI that encompasses a wide range of features. In doing so, we are providing users with ample space to demonstrate their creativity and exercise control over their phones.”

Greater efficiency than ever before
ColorOS 11 is equipped with robust features that improve work and life efficiency. Among them is the Three-Finger Translate powered by Google Lens, the first feature co-created by OPPO and Google. It captures and translates text through a simple screenshot taken with a three-finger gesture.

Flexdrop, another new feature, provides a simple and intuitive solution for multi-tasking. Users can watch video and text at the same time, which is particularly useful for gamers and video-lovers. Users can even switch between and control different smart home devices through a new Device Control menu, without having to download new apps.

To maximize available battery, the new Super Power Saving Mode lets users select six apps to run in low-battery situations. Meanwhile, Battery Guard prevents damage from prolonged charging at unstable power voltages by learning user habits. It intelligently pauses charging once it reaches 80% at night, before resuming to achieve a full charge by the time users wake up.

Unparalleled smoothness to “Make Life Flow”
While high frame rates are a positive industry advancement, phones often experience lags and stutters as a result. To combat this, ColorOS 11 has introduced UI First 2.0, which combines OPPO’s proprietary lag-reducing engine with Quantum Animation. This boosts RAM utilization by 45%, improving the response rate by 32% and the frame rate by 17%. Meanwhile, AI App Preloading learns user behaviour to preload the most-used apps, reducing loading time. Supertech also intelligently identifies user scenarios and optimizes the touch response speed accordingly, improving system fluency.

A heightened focus on user security and privacy
ColorOS 11 incorporates stock Android 11’s newly added privacy options while creating a series of additional privacy protection and data security features. Private System creates a separate system where the second version of apps and data runs independent of the original and is accessible only via a separate fingerprint scan or password

A new shortcut to App Lock enables users to lock apps through a password, fingerprint, or facial verification. The permissions system has also been enhanced, with temporary permissions that reset the camera, microphone, and location access when the app is closed. Meanwhile, auto-reset permissions return app permission settings to default if they haven’t been used for a long time. To prevent malicious apps from accessing other apps’ data, scoped storage restricts apps’ access to phone data, requesting user permission in order to do so.

Low Battery Message, an India specific feature
Ensuring peace of mind for heavy users, ColorOS 11’s Low Battery Message feature provides options to send messages when phone battery drops to 15%, displaying users’ current location to selected contacts. This allows users to share their status with families and friends when their phone is about to run out of battery. This special safety feature has been designed post inputs from users in India and is currently is available only in the Indian market.

The fastest and widest rollout in ColorOS history
The current beta launch of ColorOS 11 invites tech-savvy users to explore the new features and offer feedback, with an official version to follow in the coming weeks. ColorOS 11 will be released in a batch-by-batch approach, starting with the Find X2 Series and Reno3 Series. The complete rollout will cover 28-plus phone models, including the Find, Reno, F, K, and A series.
