As this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC 2022) comes to a close, OPPO takes a closer look at some of the key takeaways from the robust conversations held throughout the 5-day event.
The long-awaited event saw attendees from over 183 countries and more than 1,800 exhibitors including OPPO which previewed its 5G, CPE and SuperVOOC innovative capabilities. Here are the 3 biggest takeaways from MWC 2022.
1. 5G marks its arrival but businesses need to start looking ahead towards 6G progression
Day 1 of MWC opened with a timely discussion on “What’s New & Worth Your Attention” which, as the name of the session suggests, touched on the innovations that one should rightly direct their attention towards and this includes network infrastructures, 5G devices, telco cloud innovations and vertical industry transformation.
In the realm of 5G, OPPO has continuously led the conversation by being one of the thought leaders in the space through the conceptualising of 5G-enabled devices even before the emergence of 5G in Malaysia. As the nation progresses towards 5G trials, OPPO is in a position to equip its consumers with a range of devices which are 5G-enabled.
In tandem, OPPO also unveiled its latest CPE device, the OPPO 5G CPE T2 which offers a powerful, all-round 5G connectivity and is designed to be the core hub of a multi-scenario, multi-device connected experience even in remote areas. OPPO’s 5G CPE T2 is able to deliver a 5G experience beyond expectations, just in time for the adoption of 5G locally.
In line with OPPO’s ambition of taking it one step further in the realm of innovation, OPPO Research Institute has officially released its first 6G white paper in 2021 entitled “6G AI-Cube Intelligent Networking”. The white paper marks one of the telecommunication industry’s first in-depth looks into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can empower 6G network architecture, while exploring the detailed vision for the design of next-generation communication networks.
2. Artificial intelligence will significantly improve ways of work and humankind’s digital lifestyle
It goes without saying that AI has long been heralded as a major advantage to society and in this era, we have caught a glimpse of what it is capable of, including possessing the capacity to reduce manpower and time taken to perform routine tasks.
During the session, “How AI Is Shaping Our World”, it was illustrated how AI is creating new dimensions and there is a plethora of possibilities for it to accelerate the next industrial milestone while paving the way for unprecedented efficiencies across multiple sectors.
OPPO is no stranger to the world of AI, having developed among many innovations, its CybeReal, a tool which is powered by an in-house AI Engine to intelligently extract spatial information from smartphone images, reducing the need for professional scanning equipment.
The possibilities for CybeReal are endless and its underlying AI platform has the capabilities of processing 12,000 scanned images per hour. As divulged during the session, advancements in AI will aid in the future of work.
As for OPPO, the brand is committed towards exploring the untapped world of AR-related hardware, software and services to continue making the AI technology more accessible to all industries.
3. Businesses need to understand the importance of value creation
In order to remain competitive, brands need to dive deep into the subject of value creation and understand their place in the industry while continuously innovating and pivoting. During MWC’s keynote session on “Value Creation”, the robust conversation centred on how the real value for businesses in this era lies at the intersection of service innovation and network intelligence.
One way that OPPO continues to drive value creation is through the innovation of existing products and services, one of which is SuperVOOC which was borne out of a simple need to mitigate mobile phone’s large power consumption. OPPO invented its VOOC flash charging, which is an innovative low-voltage and high-current solution, to introduce a new way of flash charging.
Not stopping there, OPPO later innovated its own in-house creation by introducing the latest 150W SuperVOOC flash charge which can charge a 4,500 mAh battery to 50% in 5 minutes and deliver a seamless flash charging experience.
In tandem, the 240W SuperVOOC flash charge is able to charge a 4,500mAh battery to 100% in about 9 minutes, truly pushing the boundaries of charging power, pushing the limits of high-power charging and efficiency. With fast charging, OPPO is also committed in providing users with advanced solutions for efficient and safe charging.
Hence, through the solving of real-world issues such as fast battery drainage and safe charging, OPPO is able to drive value creation and remain competitive in the industry and amongst other industry players.
Starting conversations about topics that matter
This year’s MWC has indeed kickstarted conversations surrounding worthy topics in the industry with the ultimate aim of shaping the future of connectivity. In light of the current pandemic, a core emphasis was placed on reconnecting, reimaging as well as reinventing for a mutual industry success.
OPPO, one of the tech industry’s key players, exhibited a total of 5 booths including “Brand”, “Flagship”, “Smartphone Technology”, “5G” and “AR Ecosystem”. Alongside its physical booths at MWC 2022, OPPO also invited tech enthusiasts around the world to join its virtual playground experience.
During the 5-day event, OPPO introduced its latest flagship products and showcased several industry-leading mobile phone technologies that will set new industry records.
