Oppo is bringing generative AI tools to its Reno series of phones

It should be obvious by now that pretty much every company is going all in on AI. Companies like Google have been focusing on it for years, but since the whole generative AI boom, all notable tech brands have been working on the technology. Now, Oppo is going all in on generative AI, and it’s going to bring some powerful tools to its Reno series later this year.

Oppo is a major Chinese tech firm, and it’s joined at the hip with OnePlus. In fact, OnePlus’ co-founder, Pete Lau, is the chief product officer of Oppo. The company has its popular Find N series of foldables. It also sells its Find X and Reno series of phones.

Oppo is going to bring generative AI tools to its Reno phones later this year

So far, we’ve already seen some of the impressive things that phones can do with on-device AI. We’ve seen the Pixel 8 Pro (Review) use some powerful generative AI tools. However, it’s really the Galaxy S24 series of phones that showcase some impressive on-device generative AI. Samsung announced Galaxy AI, and the company unveiled a bunch of AI features that are all done right on the device like text generation and translation.

Now, Oppo is looking to do much the same. According to the company, it has established a large R&D Center for AI research. The center will help research and develop powerful AI tools for Oppo’s products. Since Oppo and OnePlus are so closely integrated, we won’t be surprised if some of these tools make it to future OnePlus devices as well.

Oppo developed its own AI model called AndesGPT. The company plans on releasing some new AI tools to its Reno devices in the second half of the year. We’re not quite sure how many tools are coming or what they’re going to be. However, the company did mention that the intelligent object removal in photos and phone conversation summary will be making it to these phones later this year. These tools first landed on the Oppo Find X7.

This shows Oppo’s commitment to AI

It looks like Oppo is the next company to really hammer down on its AI capabilities. The company outlined four major defensive characteristics of AI smartphones:

-AI Smartphones must efficiently utilize computing resources to meet the computational needs of generative AI in the AI era.

– AI Smartphones should be aware of the real world in time through sensors, understanding the complex information of users and the environment.

– AI Smartphones also need to possess powerful self-learning capabilities.

– AI Smartphones will have multimodal content generation abilities, providing users with continuous inspiration and knowledge support.

So, the company is going to use these for its future AI phones going forward.
