During the MWC Shanghai 2019 event, we reported that Vivo did showcase its own new technologies but that's not the only company that was there. OPPO was also present showing a groundbreaking Under-Screen Camera (USC) technology as well as MeshTalk. What are those? Let's take a good look.

We managed to get some first hands-on experience with the OPPO USC technology, so we were pretty psyched about it. USC is the latest method to hide the front camera on the display to give users the maximized view as full as possible. By integrating the front camera underneath the display, it allows the user to snap selfie shots, use face unlock as well as making video calls.

So how did they do it? And wouldn't the display get in the way of the front camera's vision? To explain this, OPPO engineers actually customized the front camera screen spot with a "highly-transparent" material that captures more light. On top of that, the front camera is also integrated with a customized algorithm, haze removal algorithm and white balance algorithm for photography purpose. That way, users can just use the front camera normally as it was before.

On the other hand, OPPO also announced a new MeshTalk technology, which is a new proprietary decentralized communication for transmission of texts,, voice messages and real-time voice calls between OPPO devices. It also relies on cellular networks, WiFi and Bluetooth to work with a range of 3KM, that also means that multiple devices can be connected to create an ad hoc local area network (LAN) communication network.

With MeshTalk in mind, this technology could have a big role in 5G and IoT smart home application scenarios, where users can utilize it for their everyday lives, or even in extreme environments, emergency communications and some outdoor environments.

In other news, OPPO also exhibited its latest innovations in 5G and IoT – such as an OPPO Reno 5G phone loading a large-scale mobile game in the cloud via a 5G network, enabling users to enjoy 5G cloud gaming. But what do you think of about their latest technologies? Let's discuss in the comment section and stay tuned for more OPPO news at TechNave.com.
