Good evening and welcome to the launch of our brand-new smartphone, the Reno4 Series – our most exciting launch to date. Thank you for being here to meet with us virtually, we’ve got an exciting evening lined up for you! Before we start with the main event today, I would like to address something that we cannot ignore given the format of the event today. As a global company, OPPO not only cares about the health and safety of its employees and partners but most importantly we are aiding humanity in the fight against this pandemic starting with local communities in countries and regions all around the world. OPPO is a forward-thinking international technology company and we believe it is our social responsibility to enact positive change every way we can. As soon as the epidemic began, we reached out to the international community to aid. In addition to offering our own customers free extension on warranties that expired during the special period from March 23rd to May 23rd in the GCC and other countries in the Middle East and Africa region, OPPO is also providing humanitarian aid in various ways.
Let us take a look at some of our efforts: We donated 300,000 masks to Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Japan and other countries. In Kenya, OPPO donated 1000 liters of hand sanitizer to fight against the pandemic. OPPO Nigeria launched the ‘OPPO Care’ initiative to donate food and essential supplies to low-income families and provide sanitation tips. In Egypt OPPO worked together with medical KOLs to produce educational videos about home disinfection and sanitation in order to increase public awareness about ways to prevent the spread of the pandemic. Throughout all of this, we live by our guiding principle of the Chinese term ‘benfen’, which means one’s part or duty.
We believe it is our duty to share our technology with the world to make the lives of our customers better. And now more than ever, we are dedicated to fulfilling this duty. At a time where consumers are very critical of brands, it is brands with integrity that people react positively to. We are extremely proud to be among the top five highest selling smartphone brands in the world as of Q2 2020. And here is a fun fact for you.
Did you know that 1 out of every 30 smartphone users is using an OPPO smartphone! Since OPPO entered the Middle East and Africa (MEA) market in 2015, we have worked hard to build our brand. While our achievements so far have been incredible to say the least, brand love and the loyalty of our supporters has never been more apparent than during the pandemic. Despite all the challenges; we managed to launch two phones, the Reno3 Series and Find X2 series; two wireless headphones, OPPO Enco W31 and OPPO Enco W11; as well as our Super VOOC chargers all during the lockdown. Our deep relationships with our customers, media, influencers, local operators and retail partners– the army of OPPO ‘ambassadors’ as we call them – earned us overwhelming support and interest for all these new launches. It is this army that has contributed to our 214% YoY sales growth in the Middle East for Q1 2020.
OPPO is committed to helping people live more intelligent lives in a multitude of scenarios through a network of multiple devices. Like mobile phones; these products will be irreplaceable core devices that support high-frequency interactions. As 5G ushers in a new era of connected living, we will further explore building intelligent products that can be applied to more scenarios at home, in the office, while travelling and much more, with the goal of creating the ultimate integrated experience for global users. For the next three years, OPPO will focus on developing cutting-edge technology in areas including 5G, AI, AR, big data and more. And to show this commitment OPPO is investing USD 7 billion in R&D to integrate all OPPO’s products and its users into an ecosystem.
During the development of the Reno4 Series, we returned to our roots. We exist to elevate life through technological artistry, and we believe in the spirit of youth. Starting with the passion of our Reno users, we took it to heart that these groups of people are optimistic and won’t be held back in their endless pursuit of beauty and innovation; they are eager to show themselves to the world, and experience or share their lives through their smartphones and wearable devices. Thus, the new Reno4 Series that we are launching today, offers both technological innovations as well as the superior trendy experience that our users are looking for. Ready to get excited? Good evening, great to have you all with us tonight.
OPPO is no stranger to innovations in mobile photography and videography. The company has been known to push the boundaries of smartphone photography technology for the past 10 years. The Reno series focuses on young and trendy consumers and their need to express their creativity. For each generation of Reno series, OPPO brings revolutionary photography and videography-enhancing features that re-draw the boundaries of users’ creativity. I’m really excited to unveil the brand new Reno4 series together with you all virtually today.
And as we’re moving to the 5G era, I’d like to start with the amazing Reno4 Pro 5G… One little tip before we go, watch out the mysterious icons that might appear in the upcoming videos, OPPO is running a campaign rewarding those who collect them all! With Reno4 Pro 5G, OPPO has opened up new possibilities for smartphone video recording, allowing the users to produce ideal videos in less-than-ideal conditions. OPPO have tackled a number of technical challenges to bring you great selfies, amazing beautification effects, incredible zoom, and exceptional night photography. After a long day of working or learning, many of us love taking photos and videos to record and capture our life after night falls, when the glittering city lights are on and we are relaxing with family or friends. But whether a night video will turn out well or appear too blurry or too dark, often depends a lot on the lighting. Reno4 Pro 5G's camera engineering team set out to tackle these challenges at an early stage.
Thanks to their painstaking work, so that I could present to you today the exciting Ultra Night Wide-angle Video. Well, you may ask: "What's so special about Ultra Night Wide-angle Video?" Does it make night videos brighter? Does it put subjects in sharper focus? Does it make night scenes look more natural and beautiful? Does it reduce the level of image noise in videos? Actually, Ultra Night Wide-angle Video does them all. Each of them is a complex task in itself, but Ultra Night Wide-angle Video is designed to deliver all of these improvements making it easier for EVERYONE to take stunning videos at night. Let me start with the hardware. In order, to ensure sufficient light exposure, Reno4 Pro 5G is equipped with a customized, ultra-wide, ultra-powerful Sony IMX708 image sensor.
At 1/2.3 inches, the larger sensor gathers more light making it ideal for brighter night videos or photos. It supports the 16:9 format video, rather than the 4:3 format commonly found on other smartphone sensors, giving you a wider perspective than what you would get with a standard sensor. The 4-in-1 pixel binning algorithm has also been incorporated into video recording, which increases the overall pixel size, resulting in brighter and clearer images with greater light sensitivity for clearer and sharper videos in even extremely low light conditions. You may have noticed that low light conditions often render a camera’s auto-focus system useless on a lot of phones. Not on Reno4 Pro 5G! We equipped this phone with a flagship feature: laser detection auto-focus (LDAF), so that it can still auto focus in low light conditions in a much shorter amount of time.
In fact,142% faster. In addition to the powerful hardware specs, OPPO’s camera research team in Japan spent more than a year developing, iterating and refining an Ultra Night Video Algorithm. It provides dynamic enhancements so that colors are more vibrant, noise is reduced, and videos appear 74.4% brighter and 33.7% clearer. Let's take a look at a few examples. Without being told, you probably wouldn't think that these videos were taken with a smartphone.
You can see for yourself the stunning wide perspective, the brightly lit night scene, and the colors of the building that appear vivid even when reflected in the water. The image quality is superb even in dark areas, as you can see in the night sky here. Let's look at another set of videos. A lot of the times when we take videos at a party like this, we have to deal with dim lighting. Notice the brighter and more lively colors on the video shot on Reno4 Pro 5G.
Most of us are passionate about capturing our lives and memories by filming or photographing the world around us, or even ourselves, to be able to express our creativity. And Reno4 Pro 5G makes it easier than ever to access and use powerful photography functions, all from the palm of your hands. A common hurdle we have all faced while capturing special moments is background light that causes already dim areas to look dimmer and subjects almost unrecognizable. Given that, OPPO applied their Live HDR video algorithm on Reno4 Pro 5G, which helps soften the highlights in videos while retaining the backlight effect. This also makes subjects in your videos look clear and naturally beautiful.
If you’re into action shots and don’t have a gimbal on hand, Reno4 Pro 5G has the perfect solution that lets you control the speed of the moment with three different stabilization modes offered in Ultra Steady Video 3.0. And it is now available for the first time on the front camera with Front Steady Video. This stabilization capability also ensures high-quality time-lapse photography without tripods or other fixtures. With Hyperlapse on Reno4 Pro 5G, fresh and unique special effects make videos more interesting, while a steady and clear slow rhythm gives room to the imagination. But that's not the end.
This time, OPPO makes videos even better. A video is a combination of light, shadow, sounds, colors, and more. Video creators can leverage the interplay of these elements to take truly stunning videos. But for beginners, this might be a bit more difficult to grasp. Reno4 Pro 5G directly addresses this issue.
It comes equipped with fun new editing tools so that anyone can feel like a Hollywood director without needing a blockbuster budget. Reno4 Pro 5G introduces the new Cinematic Mode. Its 21:9 aspect ratio will give your videos a more "cinematic" look. But it doesn't stop there. Cinematic Mode also allows you to adjust different settings, including exposure and shutter speed.
In Soloop, the widely-praised video editing app, you will find 10 new movie filters adapted from classic movies. In addition, unique movie templates are provided to make your videos look more authentically Hollywood. Using all of these features, you can turn a plain life video into a work of art. What’s more, Soloop can easily trim videos, add custom filters and adjust the background music with two taps! Now you’ll have more time to spend doing the things you love, and less time on editing your footage. OPPO really made it that easy.
If the device can make it easy for you to take high-quality nighttime videos, then still photography should be a breeze. OPPO phones have been consistently good at taking photos and Reno4 Pro 5G does not disappoint. In addition to the 12MP Ultra Night Wide-angle Video Lens (IMX708), this amazing device has a 48MP main camera; a 32MP front camera, and a 13MP telephoto camera that supports 5x hybrid optical zoom and up to 20x digital zoom. With such excellent specs, you can shoot an incredible range of photos, from 30 mm macro photos all the way up to ultra wide-angle photos. The AI Portrait and the OPPO-exclusive face touch-up algorithm can accurately recognize facial characteristics and bring out rich facial details in your photos.
Just tap to frame every smiling face. To summarize briefly, the Reno4 Pro 5G is a great device to get the most out of your photography creativity. Through Sony's customized IMX708 Ultra Wide-Angle Camera for Night Videos plus the OPPO-developed Ultra Night Video Algorithm, Reno4 Pro 5G is superb for taking videos at night. There are also Live HDR, Ultra Steady Video 3.0, from ultra wide-angle to telephoto cameras, Ultra Night Mode/Ultra Dark Mode, AI Portrait, and more. With all these features working together, you can create a masterpiece with every shot you take.
By now, I'm sure we all know how great the Reno4 Pro 5G is at shooting video. But let’s not forget that video recording is a power-hungry activity. To refuel your phone quickly, we have now the 65W SuperVOOC 2.0. Picture this. You wake up in the morning and you forgot to charge your phone last night.
Imagine if you could plug it in and while you get ready for work or school, your phone charges to full battery. Even for the super fast dressers, the Reno4 Pro 5G goes from 0% to 60% in just 15 minutes, and to a full charge in 36 minutes flat. Trust me! Once you have this lightning fast charging speed, you won't want to switch back to the way things were. Reno4 Pro 5G is packed with a 4,000 mAh super-large- capacity battery. So if you ask me what is the Reno4 Pro capable of with a "five-minute charge" ? And I'll tell you: "5 minutes of charging time for up to 4 hours of video playback.
". What’s more, the ColorOS operating system learns your sleep patterns to optimize power-saving measures at night time. With this feature, only 2% of the battery is consumed at night, reducing the phone's overnight standby power consumption to an impressively low level. But despite all this, what if…Have you ever run into this awkward situation? Your phone's battery is running low and there is no power source nearby for charging! With Super Power Saving Mode, your phone’s processor frequency will automatically be adjusted and the backlight regulated so you can extend your battery life without sacrificing its performance dramatically. Combining the powerful 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 and fine-tuned power saving mode, Reno4 Pro 5G is here to support a truly connected lifestyle for more and more people. Power and speed are not what we WANT.
It’s what we NEED. Let’s see how many surprises you can collect from the next one… Now that you have a taste of the camera and battery, let’s take a look at the design aesthetics of Reno4 Pro 5G. Just as OPPO’s engineers have carefully considered how they laid out the interior of the device, the exterior gets equal attention. In fact, when you look at Reno Series phones from Reno to Reno3, you can instantly see that OPPO never stops the pursuit of achieving a stunning visual experience with each phone. Thanks to the legacy they’ve built with their previous products, Reno Series means exquisite design, and Reno4 is no different.
With its ultra slim body, one could say that it's light in weight, but big in power. Making the device slim and lightweight may have been one of the most brain-racking challenges for the engineers. To begin with, 5G smartphones have more complicated components than their 4G counterparts. Moreover, packing such a powerful camera and battery into less than 8mm was no easy feat. OPPO engineers took up the challenge.
They experimented with a slimmer display, which reduced the depth by 0.44 mm; an ultra slim fingerprint sensor, which reduced the depth by 2.687; an optimized battery layout to reduce another 0.43 mm. Just when I thought there was nothing more that could be done, the engineers optimized the phone's internal structure, so that the depth could be further reduced by 0.12 mm. And finally, the OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G you see today is a slim 7.6 mm and weighs a mere 172 grams. The dual-curved screen was implemented for a better grip so that you can hold it for a long time without feeling tired. It can easily be slipped into your pocket or bag without making it look stuffed.
Having talked about its lightweight structure, now I want to say something about the appearance. OPPO is a company that has been constantly pursuing beauty and has developed a lot of technologies to make smartphones look better. Packed with innovative features inside and out, Reno4 Pro 5G pushes the boundaries of design that strikes a balance between its slim industrial design and stunning back case. In fact, in its dedicated pursuit of innovation on design, OPPO introduces a brand new design technique called “Reno Glow. ” 7 patents have been applied for this technique.
‘Reno Glow ‘achieves both a matte finish with a subtle glittery detail, almost like tiny diamonds are embedded on the back cover, which offers a more premium look. Compared to ordinary anti-glare glass, Reno Glow has a warmer and more delicate texture, and is more resistant to fingerprints and scratches. And it reflects gradient colors in the light. Starting with a vibrant Galactic Blue, more Reno Glow colours are coming soon. Reno4 Pro 5G will also come in a Space Black color.
And through one of the layers of the Diaphragm, when you hold it at the right angle, you’ll also notice that it exposes a unique OPPO monogram logo that adds a hit of mystery to the design that’s fashionable but not too boastful. Seeing is believing, my friends. I hope you will go to stores, pick up the product, and feel the finish. Only then will you sense the craftsmanship of the product I'm introducing today. It's certainly unforgettable.
It’s bound to turn heads. When you hold this phone in your hand, there will be something else you won't be able to ignore — the screen. By consistently following OPPO’s strict standards for screen display effects, Reno4 Pro 5G boasts a flexible AMOLED screen that ranks among the best in the industry. It supports a 90 Hz refresh rate and a 180 Hz touch sampling rate, with a maximum contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 and a peak brightness of 1100 nits, and is also HDR10+ certified. Moreover, to protect your eyes from eye strain, headaches or blurred vision, especially considering we spend most of our days glued to our smartphone screens.
Reno4 Pro 5G has passed the low blue light certification by TÜV Rheinland, which means you will feel less eye strain under low light conditions. To give you the best audio and video experience, it is equipped with two ultra-linear stereo speakers that support Dolby Atmos. After a few technical tweaks, it is now able to deliver a more impressive bass effect and a more realistic speaker stereo effect. Reno4 Pro 5G comes equipped with a built-in integrated 5G chip -- the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. This powerful processor that supports both 5G SA and 5G NSA modes and is adaptive to the mainstream frequency bands.
What does this mean for you? Think... zero lag while gaming; Think... loading last-minute music and movies just before switching to airplane mode…Because it takes just 10 seconds to download a movie. Don’t be left out of a game. Just download instantly and join your friends.
To deliver a better network experience, this product adopts the 360° surround antenna 2.0 design. Its 5G upload and download rates are 20% faster than the 360° surround antenna 1.0, and 30% faster than Wi-Fi. Also under the hood, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of ROM, keeps up with your ever-growing creativity. Never short of choices the Reno4 Series also offers 4G options. The Reno4 Pro is around 7.7mm and 161 grams, and Reno4 is around 7.7mm 165grams, which is still the top-level slimness in the industry. The Reno4 Pro comes with Galactic Blue and Starry Night, and the Reno4 comes with Galactic Blue and Space Black.
Both of them feature a Quadcam matrix, including a 48MP primary camera, 8MP Ultra Wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP mono lens, in addition to a 32MP front camera. In terms of camera features, Ultra Night mode, Ultra Steady Video 3.0, Soloop smart editing and so forth, they have them all. In addition, they’re coming with several exciting features for portrait, such as AI Color Portrait, 960fps smart slow motion and Night Flare Portrait, giving you tools to confidently express ‘clearly the best you’. The AI Color Portrait effect on both the front and rear cameras allows you to shoot a fashionable video and image in a trendy way. For example, "The world is black and white, my uniqueness shines with color" with one tap.
In order to make sure that you won’t be missing any wonderful details, the number of moments are quadrupled to a level of 960 frames per second. So moments like a bubble bursting, or the very moment that the flame is blown out during your friend’s birthday can be captured easily. And with Night Flare Portrait, you can also add a film-quality beautiful bokeh background effect to make your night time shots a lot more dynamic with a neon-like effect, while automatically brightening your face. What’s more, they’re also introducing innovative features with an AI-enhanced sensor on Reno4, that simplifies your lifestyle just a touch more. The AI-enhanced Smart Sensor with an AI recognition algorithm to enable Reno4 to recognize people, gestures and poses.
It can help our users to realize the future in a variety of scenarios that’s able to truly keep up with the personality and style of young trendsetters, but also introduces convenient lifestyle features that you’ll find are hard to live without. With Reno4 you’ll get both a “Smarter Phone, Smarter Life”. In terms of performance, the Reno4 Pro comes with 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 and a 4,000mAh battery, and the Reno4 comes with 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 and a 4,015mAh battery, both equipped with Qualcomm's 720G SoC and ColorOS 7.2 that supports Super Power Saving Mode. In addition, ColorOS 7.2, offering upgraded design and upgraded fun feature, will be debuting on Reno4 Series. Here’s just a few cool and smart features I'd like to share with everyone.
OPPO Lab, a treasure box with new and innovative features. You can experience all the new features inside OPPO LAB and also score your satisfaction to let the product manager know your thoughts. Today, we’re lifting the curtain on two new features, including “Decision Spinner” and “Lab Ringtone” with more on the way. Decision Spinner is an app for the indecisive. You can customize your own roulette of decisions and have the app randomly make a decision for you.
For instance, Decision Spinner can help you to decide what to eat today. And the Lab Ringtone enables you to customize up to ten unique ringtones to reflect your personality. With the icon pull-down gesture, it now becomes more convenient to navigate your phone with one hand. Simply swiping up on either the left or right edge of your home screen, the icons sink down and bundle up within the reach of your thumb so that you can get fast and easy access to the apps on your home screen with just one hand. The Artist Wallpaper Project, an ongoing project through which OPPO partners with artists around the world to bring high-quality artsy wallpaper to you, for you to address your attitude and style.
And if you want to have some dynamics, Gravity Wallpaper can cleverly change its orientation on your screen according to the direction of gravitational forces. These are just a taste of the out-of-the-box features OPPO have in store for you. Reno4 Series is a smartphone that connects with the stylistic side of our personalities, whether it’s the ground-breaking video and camera features, the color and texture that “Reno Glow” has to offer, or the lifestyle conveniences thanks to ColorOS 7.2. To top it off, Reno4 series is attractive to the creatives among us who may be hoping to release imaginative blockbuster-like videos with a single tap. By the way, I’ve got news that the next generation ColorOS11 based on the newly launched Android11, is coming soon.
Stay tuned. Today, I’m also happy to introduce a new member from OPPO IoT products, the OPPO Enco W51 True Wireless Headphones. The W51 is newly upgraded with Dual-mic for feed-forward and feed-back noise cancellation, and it’s also paired with an expensive dual-core chip with hybrid Active Noise Cancellation. Both these have yielded a noticeable improvement in noise cancellation. What’s more, aside from the hardware enhancements, OPPO’s acoustic engineers targeted the most sensitive noise bands to the human ear and tweaked the chip algorithms to achieve a noise cancellation depth up to 35db that the industry is amazed at.
Even if you are in a bus where the noise can be up to 60 decibels, the W51 still gets you covered on enjoying your favourite music, noise-free. Every 1dB of noise cancellation has gone through nearly a hundred engineering adjustments. Even if it appears only a small difference of a few dB, the noise eliminated by the 35dB noise cancellation depth is twice as much as 32dB. And it is likely to be one of the industry’s deepest noise cancellation from a true wireless headphone. Having equipped the W51, the surging noise, suddenly can return to the original purity---noise off, world on.
In addition, the W51 is equipped with triple microphone noise reduction technology to reduce noise during calls. Compared to a regular dual-mic wireless headphone, the triple-mic beamforming technology collects your voice from wider frequencies. Together with the wind ducts, you can relax knowing your calls sound clearly as chatting face-to-face even on the subway, busy street, or cycling along the seaside. The W51 also features Binaural Low-Latency Bluetooth Transmission, making it ideal for those who love to play games or watch videos. And OPPO Enco W51 supports wireless charging for the first time, allowing you to wirelessly charge the earphone box by simply putting it on a charging mat and let the music flow.
To sum up, the W51 has the hybrid ANC for music and calls, wireless charging, up to 24 hours of battery life, integrated smart control and IP54 dust and water resistance and so forth, I believe it could be your favorite wireless headphone that you can’t live without in your dynamic lifestyles. How many surprises you’re collecting so far? Last call now. Now, it’s the moment you all have been waiting for and glued to your screens…. trust me I am also equally excited!
