Tweet

More to expect from OPPO in imaging and network technologies in this year’s MWC

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 is coming this February 25 in Barcelona, Spain. Tech giants and fanatics alike are getting their tickets booked for the largest mobile event of the year.

Just like other technology brands, OPPO will be attending the annual trade show to showcase its latest contribution to the industry. But before that, here’s a look back at OPPO’s previous reveals:

SuperVOOC Flash Charge Technology

In MWC 2016, OPPO unveiled its incredible SuperVOOC Flash Charge with a never-before-seen speed to address slow charging and displeasing battery life. Unlike the Original VOOC Flash Charge that gave users 2 hours talk time with just 5 minutes of charging, SuperVOOC steps it up by offering 10 hours of talk time with only 5 minutes of charging, and filling 2500mAh battery in only 15 minutes. The SuperVOOC Flash Charge is the safest charging technology in the industry as certified by TUV Rhineland. Now the leading technology is already carried with OPPO R17 Pro and Lamborghini Version of Find X.

SmartSensor Image Stabilization

OPPO also successfully developed SmartSensor Image Stabilization that allows its users to “take great photos anytime and anywhere”. This is the first ever sensor-based solution for smartphones with the smallest optical image stabilizer in the world. In collaboration with MEMS Drive, a company specializing in this technology, the SmartSensor took form with MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) that makes it comparable to SLR cameras.

OPPO smartphones can now capture life’s beautiful moments in astounding detail. Even when lighting conditions aren’t the best, SmartSensor allows longer exposure time for bright and clear images.

5x Dual Camera Zoom

In MWC 2017, OPPO gave the audience an exclusive look at the game-changing “5x Dual Camera Zoom” technology, the world’s first periscope-style dual camera for a smartphone. The technology provides a revolutionary innovation of 5x lossless zoom capability unlike the common 2x zoom found in the market. In addition, users can utilize the image stabilization capability while enjoying the thin and sleek design.

Optical Image Stabilization

Through Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) Solution, mobile photography can now achieve results closer to that of digital cameras. When increasing the zoom factor in capturing an image, even the slightest movement normally affects the clarity of an image but OPPO’s OIS solution improves performance of previous generations by 40 percent. This technology allows images to be captured clearly and stably even at full 5x zoom

The future in imaging and communications with 10x Lossless Zoom and 5G

This year, OPPO invested USD 1.43 Billion in research and development. One of the biggest agenda is embracing the 5G trend, striving to become the first manufacturer to launch 5G smartphones. Earlier last year, OPPO made the world's first multiparty video call on a smartphone via 5G network. In building a 5G ecosystem, OPPO will continue deepening its collaboration with Qualcomm, network infrastructure manufacturers, telecom service providers and other supply chain partners.

Such contributions in the industry are already notable but OPPO is unceasing with its innovation. The company started its year with the forthcoming 10x lossless zoom technology. To employ the new technology, OPPO has developed a triple-camera solution consisting of “Ultra Wide Angle + Ultra Clear Master + Telephoto”. OIS optical image stabilization will help maintain image quality at all ranges on both standard and telephoto cameras. 

More details will be unveiled in MWC 2019.

Bridging the gap between seed companies and smallholder farmers

Improving smallholder farmers' access to quality seeds is a crucial first step to achieve the goal of feeding the world sustainably.

East-West Seed, a tropical vegetable seed company with both Filipino and Dutch roots, has maintained its top position in the recently launched Access to Seeds Index.

Access to Seeds, an independent organization funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Dutch government, yesterday announced the results of its Global Seed Index from its Amsterdam headquarters.

The Index placed East-West Seed in the top rank, besting 13 other global seed companies on their commitment and performance in providing the world’s smallholder farmers access to quality seeds. 

In November last year, the South and Southeast Asia Index was launched which also placed East-West Seed at number 1 among 24 companies surveyed. This brings four straight #1 rankings for the Asia-based company, sustaining its good performance in 2016 when the first Seed Index was released and where East-West Seed led the pack in the Global Vegetable and East Africa indices.

Looking at the measurement areas of the Index, East-West Seed earns the highest score in Research and Development due to its broad breeding programs that include a large number of local crops. It also leads in Marketing and Sales because of its extensive distribution channels and the availability of seeds in small packaging, which are accessible and affordable to smallholders.

Further, it scores high in the Seed Production measurement area because of its collaboration with smallholder farmers, who account for 95% of its production. Read the inspiring story of a young seed grower here.

Access to Seeds aims to shine a light on how seed companies can step up efforts to improve access to quality seeds of improved varieties for smallholder farmers. It believes that seed companies are a crucial partner in efforts to raise smallholder farmer productivity and achieve food and nutrition security.

East-West Seed tops the 2019 Global Seed Index, outperforming 13 other global seed companies on their commitment and actions to provide the world’s smallholder farmers access to quality seeds.

East-West Seed breeds tropical vegetable crops that are adapted to local markets and growing conditions.
