The Realme X2 Pro was first announced in October of 2019 and features a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED 1080 x 2400 pixel display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ SoC, and a price starting at around $330 USD. They key to understanding how a device of this combination of prices and features could exist lies in the aim of the company and the range of prices at which the device is offered. For its base price, this phone is surprisingly great.

The smartphone called Realme 5i was revealed today with a 6.5-inch display and a 5000mAh battery. If you're the sort of person that wants a very large display, but doesn't mind if that display has relatively low resolution, AND you want a massive battery, this might be a phone in which you should be interested. The only real hurdle you'll be dealing with is access - for example, this phone might never be released inside the USA.

It is both ironic and comical that, despite all the advancements in mobile technology, sharing a simple photo between two phones can still be a hassle. Unless you're talking about AirDrop, but that only works between Apple devices. Despite using a single base platform, sharing between Android smartphones from different manufacturers is no easy task. That is why three of China's biggest smartphone makers have agreed to make it easy to share files with just three taps, at least when sharing between Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo phones.

The top-selling phones for the third quarter of the year, 2019, includes a short list of top brands. A couple of these brands you'll expect - Apple and Samsung have been the biggest smartphone brands for unit sales for quite a few years. But after Apple's iPhone XR, and a couple of Samsung Galaxy A models, the brand up next is one about which you might not've heard a whole lot: OPPO!

Both the OPPO Reno3 and the OPPO Reno3 Pro were revealed on the 26th of December, 2019. Both of these masterpieces have the look and the feel of a transitioning collection of top-end smartphones from a company that sells top-end smartphones for prices well below their competition.

OPPO made a big splash in the mobile industry during its OPPO INNO WEEK 2019 earlier this month, most of it focusing the company's ambitions to grow beyond smartphones. It did, of course, also tease its upcoming premium phone, the OPPO Reno 3 that's scheduled to debut next week. While OPPO did drop that the Reno 3 Pro would be running on Qualcomm's shiny new Snapdragon 765, it now seems that the non-Pro Reno 3 will be different from its sibling inside.

In the year 2010, the brand OPPO created a sub-brand of smartphones called OPPO Real. In the year 2018, the brand was spun off into its own separate brand Realme - still under the China-based multinational firm BBK Electronics, just like OPPO. Realme was established as an "independent brand" by former OPPO overseas business department head and vice president of OPPO, Sky Li.

It may be talking a lot about its vision to expand to new frontiers like networking, AR, and IoT but it's hard to deny that, at least for now, OPPO's main breadwinner is its smartphone business. 5G may be at the center of the company's plans but, until it becomes truly ubiquitous, consumers will experience the next-gen network standard primarily through smartphones. That's why at its inaugural INNO DAY 2019 event, OPPO not only reminded media about the things it has already done for the mobile industry, it also showed off the innovations that will be coming to its smartphones starting as early as this month.

The OPPO Find X was the subject of headlines in the mobile world when it introduced one of the world's first phones to implement a popup camera, coming close to the Vivo NEX S. While OPPO continues to embrace that mechanism on its other phones, it is moving on to the next innovation for its next Find X flagship. It won't be innovation for innovation's sake, of course, and OPPO will be putting an emphasis on innovation that will delight most if not all people. For the OPPO Find X2, that will primarily mean an innovative new camera that it has developed some help from Sony.

At OPPO's INNO DAY conference, it revealed its grand vision for growing its business beyond smartphones and, as expected, 5G was one of the core focus of its expansion. This was also unsurprisingly tied to the technologies it enabled and improved, like augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and IoT. What was completely unexpected, however, was that OPPO had been silently working on its own AR glasses for that very purpose. We were able to spend some time with the device to try it out get an early peek at OPPO's vision of its future.

OPPO is a brand that is best known for its smartphones and it's going to be known for that for quite a while. That, however, isn't where the company sees itself in the next few years, or at least not the only things it wants to be known for. Just like any successful company, OPPO has big ambitions to grow its business beyond the very competitive and very congested smartphone market. It has a broader vision in mind and, like many new technologies, it will be enabled and empowered by 5G.
