A close look: Key design breakthroughs at OPPO

The power of design comes unnoticed to many, but when it comes to using a product, the design can in fact, make or break the experience. A well-thought-out design is beyond just a visually appealing product – it is about creating an overall positive and enriching user experience.  

Since the launch of OPPO’s first smartphone “Smiley Face” in 2008, OPPO has been on a relentless  pursuit to achieve the perfect synergy between ultimate aesthetics and innovative technology, with  unique designs at the core of OPPO’s competency. At heart, OPPO’s long-term commitment lies within  creating beautiful products and environments that not only look and feel extraordinary but have the  ability to elevate the user experience to a whole new level.  

With continued investment put into R&D and consumer research, OPPO has broken several grounds  when it comes to design. Below is a closer look into the top four key design breakthroughs at OPPO which users have come to know and love. 

1. OPPO X 2021 – The Rollable Concept Smartphone 

The OPPO X 2021 rollable concept smartphone is the latest achievement by OPPO, and proof of its R&D prowess in flexible display and structural stacking. Compared to the existing foldable displays that are currently in the market, the OPPO X 2021’s rollable display is easily adjustable between its  minimum and maximum sizes, opening up more possibilities for productivity, entertainment, and daily usage.

By incorporating a flexible OLED screen, the OPPO X 2021 concept smartphone introduces an  innovative retractable display that can be adjusted from 6.7 inches to 7.4 inches diagonally. In the process of achieving this feature, optimisations were also made to the design of the phone to support  its flexible and retractable screen. This was done through a set of proprietary technologies to solve the potential issues that may arise due to inclusion of the thin and flexible screen.

Additionally, the device is tested for up to 100,000 retractions and extensions. This means that on average, the smartphone will be able to last for slightly more than five years, and for more extensive usage of the phone, the rollable feature on the OPOP X 2021 is expected to operate flawlessly for between two and three years.

2. The impossible curve on the OPPO Find X3 Pro

As with the greatest examples of design and engineering, the OPPO Find X3 Pro is a smartphone that exudes a simple, understated beauty that belies the incredible work and complexity behind its  execution. Pushing design and engineering boundaries, the OPPO Find X3 Pro stands in a league of its  own with unique, robust finishes and that impossible curve, reassuring IP68 Water and Dust Resistance and an enhanced OS experience designed for OPPO users.

The OPPO Find X3 Pro is a streamlined masterpiece, crafted from a single piece of glass that flows  seamlessly into a continuous curve, giving it a space age design. The pinnacle of its design is seen  where the glass curves and flows around the dual-camera housing – the Gradient Arc. While its  minimalist beauty may seem simplistic in nature, the science behind it is far more complex, and one  that is truly unique to the smartphone brand.

To successfully design and create these precision curves in the rear glass, OPPO designers used a process called ‘UV point mapping’, projecting a 2D image onto a 3D surface. They then split the surface  of the curve into more than 2,000 individual dots, and tweaked each point individually to fine-tune and achieve the final perfect uninterrupted curve seen on the OPPO Find X3 Pro.

Beyond its physical design, the finishes on OPPO Find X3 Pro offer aesthetics that propel it far beyond  anything else achieved so far. A new anti-glare, frost matte finish not only leaves the flowing glass  feeling as smooth as silk, but it also provides incredibly robust fingerprint-resistance, ensuring that it  is kept pristine at all times. An improved ceramic glaze available in a Gloss Black finish delivers  incredible strength and a deep, rich beauty. The Blue option with a dual tone finish, on the other hand, transforms light reflections into mesmerising diffused waves and patterns of colour.

3. Reno series – The innovation pioneers

The Reno Series symbolises innovation through a well-balanced combination of technology and  fashion. First released in 2019, the Reno series made fashionable technology easily accessible to users. With a brand-new ethos of combining design philosophy with user communication, the Reno Series  aims to meet the evolving smartphone needs of trendsetting consumers around the globe.

The first few OPPO Reno series phones saw some of the most innovative pop-up front-facing cameras out there, as they rose from the top of the phone in a wedge. Thanks to the Shark Fin design with a swivel pop up camera, the Reno series had the largest screen-to-body ratio compared to other  smartphones during its time. On the back cover, the Reno Series smartphones fuse two different  textures made of up a glass-like polycarbonate resin engineered with a premium matte finish that feels great in the hand while being light and user friendly. 

The latest Reno5 series was also created using the brand-new Diamond Spectrum process, allowing the Galactic Silver colour variant to feature a new visual effect that showcases thousands of colours  from different angles and lighting. Galactic Silver is also finished with the Reno Glow process, a unique Anti-Glare (AG) glass process designed by OPPO, that makes it fingerprint-resistant while leaving a subtle glittery flush on the back cover, resembling a surface embedded by millions of diamonds.

4. OPPO Find X2 series – Vegan leather

The Green and Orange Vegan Leather editions of the OPPO Find X2 series are a continuation of OPPO’s exploration of new materials and design innovation. Taking inspiration from the concept of “healing”, the OPPO Find X2 Pro Green Vegan Leather takes centre stage by combining the flagship smartphone’s technical capabilities with a soothing and refreshing colour that exudes comfort. The elegant green shade was strategically selected to bring users a colour that was not only unique and aesthetically pleasing, but also soothing to the eyes. 

To create a holistic experience through sight and touch, the OPPO Find X2 Pro Green Vegan Leather  also includes a custom-made vegan leather built-in the middle frame. The OPPO Find X2 Pro combines environmentally friendly materials with a unique three-layer leather stitching technology to breathe tactile sensation into the product. Fully constructed in green matte metal, the middle frame of the OPPO Find X2 Pro relies on sandblasting technology to ensure a consistent colouring throughout the  product.

On top of a fresh slate of colours and materials, the OPPO Find X2 Pro Green Vegan Leather still retains the signature IP68-level splash proof, dust proof and waterproof protective performance standards from earlier editions, with the aim to provide the ultimate performance and elevated experience for  OPPO users. 

At OPPO, every single design element of its products is put through careful consideration, with the aim of pursuing perfection in design and innovative technology. OPPO will continue to invest in R&D  and push boundaries in technology and design to cement its position as the leading design-oriented  technology brand in the industry.
