Three Pillars of Quality Excellence
Beyond Everyday Use: Apex Guard protects against water exposure and accidental drops through pioneering materials research. Ultra-High-Strength Steel and AM04 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy withstand daily wear, while Armour Shield structural solutions deliver protection exceeding everyday expectations.
Beyond Product Lifespan: The OPPO Silicon-Carbon Battery uses customized spherical silicon-carbon material, extending battery cell lifespan by an additional 400 cycles while maintaining long-lasting safety. This ensures devices continue performing like new for years longer than conventional smartphones.
Beyond Existing Standards: OPPO collaborates with TÜV Rheinland, TÜV SÜD, and SGS—conducting over 180 device tests from pre-R&D through product lifecycle. Multiple rounds of quality assessments for new materials ensure exceptional quality from the outset, surpassing industry norms.
Software Smoothness Revolution
Recognizing software smoothness as the most direct quality perception, OPPO embedded innovations into ColorOS 16. The All-New Luminous Rendering Engine introduces Android’s first Unified Animation Architecture, delivering seamless app launches and smooth transitions system-wide.
Chip-Level Dynamic Frame Sync Technology within the Trinity Engine enables real-time frame rendering responses during multitasking. Sensor-Offload technology leverages powerful SoCs for critical sensor tasks, significantly reducing power consumption during 4K 60fps video recording.
For entry-level devices, Instant Refresh allows users to reduce data fragmentation and optimize app permissions with one tap. OPPO simulates 48-, 60-, and 72-month aging tests, ensuring long-term responsiveness.
Measurable Quality Standards
OPPO developed evaluation systems quantifying smoothness through measurable data. The Smoothness Baseline Test measures software performance across hundreds of real-world scenarios, while the industry-first Parallel Animation Standard 6 Zero focuses on home-screen app launches with zero lag, latency, flicker, crash, mislaunch, or freeze.
“Quality is the foundation of everything,” said Grus Shan, Director of Manufacturing at OPPO. “Through continuous breakthroughs, OPPO is committed to protecting the freedom of every user on their journey in life.”
