Today at the OPPO AI Tech Summit during MWC2025, OPPO announced its enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) strategy, aiming to position itself as a leader in AI experiences by providing comprehensive, secure, and continuously evolving AI solutions. As AI applications progress, OPPO is advancing from functional-level to system-level AI, necessitating deeper AI integration and security on devices. By integrating Google AI experiences across its smartphones, OPPO is set to launch capabilities that allow Google Gemini to act within native OPPO apps like Notes, Calendar, and Clock. These advancements will complement existing support for Gemini 1.5 Pro and Gemini 1.5 Flash on OPPO AI Phones, unlocking unprecedented levels of performance and responsiveness. The collaboration aims to bring Gemini 2.0 to OPPO Phones soon, aligning with the UAE’s vision for technological advancement as outlined in the UAE Strategy for Artificial Intelligence.

“When it comes to AI, the user experience is ultimately all that matters,” said Billy Zhang, President of Overseas Marketing, Sales and Services at OPPO. “Smartphones are not just a vehicle for AI – they are the engines that power the best possible AI experiences. As a global leader in smartphones with a strong presence in the UAE, OPPO is driving in-house innovation and open collaboration with industry partners to bring our users these unparalleled AI experiences that reflect the multicultural and technologically advanced nature of the region.”

To ensure user security and privacy when accessing these AI features, OPPO will implement Private Computing Cloud (PCC) with Confidential Computing from Google Cloud. Starting with AI Recording Summary, features like AI Search, AI Studio, and AI Call Summary will be integrated with OPPO Private Computing Cloud this year, a framework particularly relevant for UAE consumers who prioritize data protection and privacy in digital interactions.

“We are excited to collaborate with OPPO to shape the future of mobile AI by bringing together Google technologies with OPPO’s exceptional hardware and software,” said Matt Waldbusser, Managing Director for Global Solution and Consumer AI, Google Cloud. “Through our extensive partnership spanning apps, AI models and cloud solutions, we are unlocking immense potential to redefine the mobile AI experience.”

Under its latest AI strategy, OPPO is focusing on AI Productivity, AI Creativity, and AI Imaging to offer meaningful features that will make AI indispensable in the UAE’s fast-paced environment. This strategy is underpinned by comprehensive AI R&D, covering the entire AI ecosystem from chips to devices to the cloud. OPPO is collaborating with MediaTek to optimize chips for high-efficiency, real-time AI processing, balancing powerful performance with energy efficiency.
