Oppo has introduced Apex Guard, a new initiative designed to set a new industry standard for smartphone durability and longevity. This plan combines cutting-edge hardware innovations, enhanced software solutions, and improved after-sales support to ensure Oppo phones not only last longer but also continue to perform optimally throughout their life cycle.
Revolutionary Hardware for Extended Lifespan
On the hardware front, Oppo has implemented several groundbreaking solutions to improve the resilience of its phones. Key innovations include the use of Ultra-High-Strength Steel and AM04 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. These materials, combined with the Armour Shield structural solution, make Oppo phones more durable against everyday wear and tear, such as falls, scratches, extreme temperatures, and frequent usage of buttons and USB ports.
In addition to these advancements, Oppo’s Silicon-Carbon battery technology has been introduced. Using a custom spherical silicon-carbon material, Oppo’s battery now lasts 400 more charge cycles, ensuring that the battery’s capacity remains intact for longer periods.
Comprehensive Testing and Collaborations
To ensure that these innovations meet the highest standards, Oppo has partnered with leading testing organizations, including TÜV Rheinland, TÜV SÜD, and SGS. These collaborations have resulted in over 180 device tests across all stages, from pre-research and development to end-of-life assessments, further assuring the company’s commitment to quality.
Oppo has also gone a step further by conducting aging tests that simulate 48, 60, and 72-month usage periods—a duration of up to 6 years—to ensure the longevity of its devices in real-world conditions.
Optimized Software for Seamless Experience
Just as hardware ages, software performance can degrade over time. To combat this, Oppo has introduced ColorOS 16 with the Unified Animation Architecture, ensuring smooth app launches and transitions even after years of use. This innovation guarantees that the user experience remains fast and snappy throughout the phone’s lifespan.
The Apex Guard Promise
Apex Guard is part of Oppo’s commitment to protecting its users’ freedom through durable devices. By providing hardware and software solutions designed for long-term performance, Oppo ensures that users can rely on their phones for years to come.
At Oppo’s Binhai Bay campus, which houses state-of-the-art laboratories like the Materials Lab, Intelligent Terminal Testing Lab, Power Consumption Intelligent Lab, and Communication Lab, Oppo’s quality breakthroughs are continuously tested and refined to deliver lasting results.
Grus Shan’s Commitment to Quality
“Quality is the foundation of everything,” said Grus Shan, Director of Manufacturing at Oppo. “Through continuous breakthroughs in quality, Oppo is committed to protecting the freedom of every user on their journey in life. Quality isn’t just a feature, it’s the freedom to Make Your Moment.”
