Almost everything is going wireless these days on mobile, from wireless earphones to wireless charging. One thing that has been around for so long but has remained quite inconvenient is wireless file transfer. Especially these days when people need to keep their distance, transferring files to a person standing next to you needs to be fast and reliable. Some Chinese manufacturers have banded together to make that a standard among their phones and now OnePlus has joined that club.

Smartphones have become so powerful these days that you can use it for almost everything. You can even use a desktop on it, either through remote access or some Linux-based magic. Smartphones, however, will always be limited not just by the hardware they have inside but also their size. You can, of course, always attach a peripheral like a keyboard but one of OPPO's latest patents means you won't have to carry around a separate one with you. Presuming, of course, you're willing to bulk up your phone with a case.

Today, OPPO announced the Ace 2, a follow-up to the Reno Ace that drops the "Reno" branding from its name. While the Ace 2 has some solid internal specifications, it certainly seems like the main draw of this phone will be wireless charging; not only is this the first phone from OPPO to offer wireless charging, but it's also serving up 40W AirVOOC wireless charging that should be pretty fast.

In a span of just a few years, OPPO has quickly risen from being just another Chinese brand to one of the more prolific upstarts in the Android market. It quickly moved from boasting about new mobile technologies it has developed to boasting about the new smartphones that showcased those technologies. It's definitely easy enough to give OPPO a pass since it isn't Samsung, but you'd be missing out on what could possibly be the most competitive Android phone this year.

OPPO has recently become more aggressive in demonstrating its innovation in the mobile camera arena and its hard work may finally be paying off. The OPPO Reno 10x Zoom may not have been at the top of its class but it was enough for people to take notice. The OPPO Find X2, on the other hand, just skyrocketed to the top of DxOMark's score, putting other manufacturers, especially Huawei, on notice.

OPPO has been flooding the smartphone market with one model after another, and that's not even counting its sub-brand like Realme. It's not that hard to get lost in a sea of similar-sounding names but attaching a "Pro" to it does get you to at least take a second look. Of course, the OPPO Reno 3 Pro, which was "relaunched" just this week for the global market, will need more than that to generate not just attention but also sales. We take OPPO mid-range contender for a spin to see if it has more than enough to stand out in an already congested market.

OPPO has revealed its first smartwatch, the OPPO Watch, complete with integrated cellular and a trick screen - and a design that looks very familiar. Announced alongside the OPPO Find X2 Pro - you can see our detailed first-impressions of the new smartphone here - the OPPO Watch isn't short on power and features, but we suspect it'll be its Apple Watch-like style that gets talked about the most.

For the past years, OPPO's name has regularly popped up when talking about innovations in the mobile space, from popup cameras to periscope-style lenses to insanely fast charging. There was a time when OPPO would announce such new technologies that would curiously be absent from its premium phones. That has changed recently and OPPO's flagships have become showcases of its best ideas and implementations and the OPPO Find X2 is that latest smorgasbord of mobile innovation.

Huawei may be in hot water because of a US embargo but it's business as usual for other Chinese smartphone makers. In fact, OPPO has just announced the international availability of a phone it already launched in China last December. The OPPO Reno 3 Pro continues the line's impressive battery and charging and adds a few photography tricks on top for consumers in India and the rest of the world. Except in the US and Western Europe, that is.

The OPPO Watch we've been hearing rumors about for weeks will be officially unveiled in early March, the company has announced. The unveiling will take place during the same event when OPPO reveals its Find X2 smartphone model. The company shared two official images of its wearable to go alongside the announcement, but the watch hasn't been officially detailed yet.

In this day and age of the Internet and social media, there are products that get leaked so much that their creators barely have anything more to say when they get officially announced. Some of these companies frantically try to keep a tighter lid but OPPO is doing the complete opposite. More than just put out cryptic teasers, it is, slowly and massively, revealing the phone and its features in the hopes of still getting the public excited to have the phones in their hands.

Today new imagery leaked of the unreleased (and still largely unrevealed) OPPO Watch. This watch was first leaked with imagery that looked a whole lot like an Apple Watch. Then we saw a slightly different angle - courtesy of Brian Shen, Vice President and President of Global Marketing for OPPO - and the term "game changer." He referred then to the "curved screen and 3D glass" that was, with the watch, forthcoming. Today we get another view.
