The mobile photography-focused OPPO F7, which sold 37,000 units on its first day of sale alone, is powered by the MediaTek Helio P60, the world’s first smartphone processor with 2 dedicated NeuroPilot APU (Artificial Intelligence Processing Units). The Helio P60 is designed to deliver 80% faster performance vis-a-vis previous generation chips. This not only means flagship performance on a midrange smartphone (not a small achievement by itself), but that more people can enjoy AI technology on the OPPO F7: Beauty Technology 2.0 for improved selfies, AI Scene Recognition for scene-optimized photos, AI Album for smart photo organizing, and AI Battery Management for longer battery life.
OPPO’s A.I. Technology 2.0
The highest megapixel count, as of this writing, on a selfie camera belongs to the 25MP Sony IMX576 sensor on the OPPO F7. This level of detail in selfies is paired with OPPO’s AI Technology 2.0 which scans up to 296 facial recognition points, allowing it to enhance (without looking overdone or artificial) different parts of the the face by identifying age, gender, skin type, and skin tone. Resulting selfies are therefore improved, imperfections tone down, while maintaining definition (you still look like you) and keeping details for natural-looking selfies.
“Equipped with power and performance, the MediaTek Helio P60 brings consumer flagship features such as AI functions, fluid gaming experience, and smart camera functionality,” said TL Lee, General Manager of MediaTek’s Wirless Communication Business Unit. “The OPPO F7 gives consumers access to an incredible device with brand new user experience at a very competitive price.”
Thermal Management – keeping the heat down under heavy loads
We love to binge on videos and play games on our phones, for hours and hours. OPPO knows that and has relied on the superior thermal management of the Helio P60, which dissipates heat when the processor is under heavy loads, such as when one watches 4K videos or plays graphically-demanding games. Also, the Helio P60 allows the OPPO F& to detect and identify objects as fast as 30ms, allowing up to 2,000 items to be recognized per minute, which contributes to real-time A.I. functionality.
