Before I start this, I would like to put a DISCLAIMER that the whole TechNave team does not share the same view as I do. Well, okay there are some but not everyone. Still, I have been in this industry for eight years and counting. I have reviewed countless smartphones and I didn't realise that I got bored with them after the pandemic and lockdown period. Today, I realised smartphones are so boring now.

During a conference in London, OPPO took the stage and announced its commitment to making AI phones accessible to everyone. On top of that, the company also announced its collaboration with Google, MediaTek, Microsoft and more partners across the industry to deliver an enhanced AI phone experience.

Today, OPPO took to the stage today at the Snapdragon Summit 2022 to announce users can experience a fully optimised hardware-based ray tracing feature on the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform when it releases. As expected, its next Find X flagship smartphone will be one of the first to be powered by the new chipset.

While there were a few brands that decided to do an online launch this week, OPPO is one of the brands that decided that revealing its new flagship devices can wait. But the wait is over and now we have confirmation that the company will be hosting an online launch for the Find X2 series on 6 March 2020.

OPPO VP Brian Shen recently revealed hands-on images of an upcoming OPPO smartphone with a “Waterfall Screen”. Unlike current curved edge displays, this still unnamed device has an almost edge-to-edge display that goes down the sides at a sharp angle, much like a waterfall. Images seem to indicate that it could be the next OPPO Find X device and looks to be fully functional. 

OPPO’s Vice President, Shen Yiren, has always shared a lot when it came to the OPPO Reno. This time, he shared that the OPPO Reno may come with OPPO’s brand new VOOC 3.0 charging which is 23.8% faster than its predecessor in contrary to rumours of it having 50W fast charging.

Everyone’s been obsessing over completely bezel-less devices and OPPO definitely feels that as well. OPPO’s Vice President, Shen Yiren shared on Weibo that the OPPO Reno may feature an impressive 93.1% screen to body ratio with bezels as thin as the OPPO Find X.

OPPO has just announced their new line of smartphones bearing the name “Reno”. The smartphones are set to be launched on the 10th of April. The smartphone line brings with it some bright colours and modern designs in the logos, leading us to believe that is made with the youth in mind.

How's is it going, my homies! It's been a while since we did our #NewsBytes but due to the recent Chinese New Year break, there wasn't so much news. So what's in the loop? Aside from the casual news below, there are a couple of interesting tech stuff to talk about - the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 series livestream has been announced, Energizer came out of nowhere with a 18000mAh + dual pop-up front camera smartphone, Xiaomi Mi 9 has been teased and might be revealed in MWC 2019, we got our first look at the vivo V15 Pro in Malaysia, and other minor stuff that isn't that important. 

OPPO has unveiled the OPPO Find X 5G Prototype during the China Mobile Global Partners Conference held in Guangzhou from 6 December 2018 to 8 December 2018. The original OPPO Find X, which was first introduced in July 2018 featured a motorized retractable camera at the top of the display which will pop out when in use.
