OPPO blazes Muy Caliente in the midst of winter as the company unveils its range of innovations at the Mobile World Congress 2023 (MWC) held in Barcelona, Spain.

From a selection of flagship devices to a number of smart initiatives, the Chinese brand didn’t hold back from exhibiting its industry-leading technologies.

A pocketable flagship

While OPPO first debuted the OPPO Find N2 Flip in London, the company’s first vertically folding phone took the spotlight at OPPO’s booth at Fira Gran Via, the esteemed venue where MWC was held.

It revolutionizes flip phones as we know them, housing the largest cover screen on any flip phone currently available. It also comes with a 50-megapixel main camera working together with MariSilicon X NPU and Hasselblad imaging system to deliver an exceptional camera experience.

The device is set to take on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 with its disruptive and innovative design. The OPPO Find N2 Flip will be on sale in Europe starting on February 28, 2023.

Official smartphones of the UEFA Champions League

The OPPO Find N2 Flip and the OPPO Find N2 have both been appointed as the official smartphones of the UEFA Champions League.

UEFA Champions League Ambassadors and football stars, Michael Owen and Luis Garcia, made an appearance on the first day of MWC, taking on the stage to showcase OPPO’s pocketable flagship smartphones.

More IoT products

In addition to OPPO Find N2 Flip, visitors to the OPPO booth can also experience the latest OPPO flagship phones such as OPPO Find N2, and IoT products including OPPO Enco X2, OPPO Watch 3 Pro, OPPO Pad, and OPPO 45W Liquid Cooler.

WiFi router

OPPO expands its product portfolio with Wi-Fi 6 Router AX5400. It’s capable of providing a 2.4GHz + 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi signal simultaneously with a stable, speedy, and wide coverage.

Its hidden antennas fit perfectly with the elegant cylindrical appearance, making the device apt for modern and minimalist homes. Its unique internal structure helps improve heat dissipation, keeping connectivity covered at every corner of a home.

Zero-Power Tag

OPPO also released its first prototype device based on its own Zero-power communication technology. It uses RF signal harvesting, backscattering, and low-power computing to harvest radio waves from the surrounding area, powering its own functionality.

The power tag can communicate battery-free, meeting the diverse needs of IoT in the upcoming 6G era. Through RF energy, the Zero-Power Tag is capable of item identification, position, and data collection from temperature sensors.

New-generation AR glasses

Along with other initiatives, OPPO has also unveiled the second generation of the OPPO Air Glass.

More announcements

There’s also OPPO’s first end-to-end power management chip, launched alongside the MariSilicon Y Bluetooth audio SoC, OHealth H1 family health monitor, and more.

Carbon neutrality

On the opening day of MWC 2023, OPPO published its first Climate Action Report entitled “Climate Pledges and Low Carbon Development Strategy” which was co-developed with global consultancy, Deloitte.

The report proposes OPPO’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality across its global operations by 2050, and outlines its future blueprint for low carbon development. Under its corporate mission of “Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World”, OPPO has taken action to integrate sustainability into its long-term development strategy.

Starting with the European market in 2023, OPPO will remove virtually all plastics from the external packaging of its mobile phone products and will ensure that all packaging materials are made from 100% biodegradable materials.

There will be three simultaneous meet and greets across Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Since slots are limited, fans are encouraged to register via PlayStation Asia’s link here.

The venue and time details are as follows:
