Accelerating the adoption of AI phones

Earlier this year, OPPO outlined its commitment to bring AI capabilities to more people beyond the confines of high-end flagship smartphones.

Reno12 introduces a suite of breakthrough GenAI features  covering a range of everyday uses that will surely take the tech-lovers in the Kingdom into the heart of the AI smartphone era. With the newly updated AI Eraser, users can easily remove passing strangers in photos with a simple tap thanks to the feature’s ability to automatically identify unwanted people and objects.

The phone also comes with two AI features specifically designed to enhance group photos. AI Clear Face ensures everyone in a group shot, even those far away from the camera, are captured with exceptional clarity by restoring high-definition details like facial contour, hair, and eyebrows. AI Best Face meanwhile can automatically identify people in photos with blinked eyes and use advanced GenAI technology to fix them, so no group shot goes to waste.

For even more imaginative possibilities, AI Studio can create digital avatars or artistic portrait styles from just one single user photo. Users can reimagine themselves as cowboys, stars in a cyberpunk manga, or many other styles leveraging the new GenAI capabilities, enabling innovative capturing of the essence of Saudi life, from the pulsating streets to the tranquil dunes.

Alongside photo enhancements, Reno12 also taps into the power of AI to bring added efficiency and creativity. Built on the Google Gemini large language model (LLM), AI Toolbox is a new addition to the smart sidebar that leverages powerful recognition capabilities to understand the content displayed on the screen and recommend AI features accordingly, such as quick social media content generation or content summaries for lengthy articles. In the Recording app, users can now also use the new AI Recording Summary tool to intelligently extract text summaries from a voice record and organize them into notes, with information such as to-do lists, times, locations, and other details highlighted and formatted for improved readability.
