A configuration that allows it to support 5G, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC and wifi 5.

However, artificial intelligence is not limited to the photo part, because Oppo has developed its own features for image generation, audio playback, automatic summary, or even writing assistance. The brand having a hybrid approach to the implementation of AI, if some options are executed locally, others are executed in the cloud.
Finally, there is a 5000 mAh battery compatible with 45 W fast charging and IP64 certified waterproofing.
