OPPO, renowned globally for its cutting-edge smart devices, is set to revolutionize the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem in 2024, with a specific focus on the vibrant South African market. For those unfamiliar, IoT refers to a network of interconnected physical objects that communicate and exchange data, ushering in smarter and more automated experiences for users. OPPO’s latest initiative aims to redefine connectivity and innovation, aligning with its vision of a seamlessly interconnected world.
In this ambitious venture, OPPO is getting ready to introduce a diverse range of smart products tailored to meet the evolving needs of consumers.

Crucially, OPPO’s IoT ecosystem will seamlessly integrate these products through a comprehensive platform, ensuring a cohesive and interconnected user experience.
Central to OPPO’s IoT strategy is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance device connectivity and intelligence. By leveraging AI across its product lineup, OPPO ensures that its devices can adapt and learn from users’ habits and preferences, delivering a personalized experience that anticipates their needs.
With a firm commitment to AI-driven innovation, OPPO recently established the OPPO AI Centre on February 20. This dedicated research facility underscores OPPO’s strategic focus on AI research and development, with a mission to democratize AI’s benefits and make them accessible to all users.
