Following Google Cloud Next ’24, global smart device leader OPPO showcased its AI phone strategy at Google I/O Connect China today.
Kai Tang, President of OPPO’s Software Engineering, emphasized the transformative power of generative AI in smartphones. He outlined OPPO’s commitment to “democratize” AI phones, bringing these advancements to a wider audience. This vision aligns with Google’s leadership in AI development, paving the way for a fruitful collaboration.
Deep Collaboration with Google Unlocks AI Potential
“As a revolutionary technology, generative AI is transforming the mobile industry,” stated Kai Tang. “OPPO is dedicated to making AI phones accessible to everyone. We will keep an open mind and work closely with industry giants like Google to deliver the best AI phone experience for our users.”
OPPO leverages Google’s AI expertise alongside its Gemini models to introduce innovative features, transforming smartphones into powerful productivity tools. These include:
- AI Recording Summary: Supports multi-speaker recognition, automatically identifying and extracting key information to condense lengthy meetings into concise summaries. This helps users quickly grasp key points, converting manual tasks into AI-driven processes, significantly boosting work efficiency.
- AI Toolbox: Integrates three core features — AI Summary, AI Writer, and AI Speak. These tools aid in efficient reading, effortless content creation, and freeing up users’ hands and eyes. Built into the ColorOS smart sidebar, they are easily accessible for a seamless, efficient experience at any time.
These features are implemented in the new ColorOS 14 and available on the globally launched OPPO Reno12 series. This collaboration with Google demonstrates OPPO’s active role in democratizing AI, making it accessible to a wider audience.
Democratizing AI Phones and Continuous Innovation
With the continuous evolution of the smartphone market, AI technology has become a core engine driving industry innovation. In early 2024, OPPO launched the first AI phone – Find X7 series. In June, OPPO officially announced its commitment to making AI phones accessible to all, being the first in the industry to bring generative AI to all smartphone product lines. By the end of this year, OPPO aims to equip around 50 million devices with generative AI features, including the returning Find X flagship series to the global market.
OPPO envisions AI phones with four key characteristics: efficient computing, real-world perception, self-learning ability, and creativity. Additionally, the intelligent OS will support multimodal interactions and offer third-party services more flexibly. This will result in a full-stack transformation and ecosystem restructuring of AI phones, continuously enhancing user experiences.
As AI technology advances, OPPO will leverage generative AI to boost productivity and creativity, delivering optimal AI phone experiences. The company will continue to collaborate with top industry partners like Google, combining innovation with collaboration to lead the industry into the new AI phone era.
