One of the main challenges smartphone users encounter is the need to switch between apps when capturing and editing photos, which was why Oppo “chose the imaging route”, Darren Chen, Oppo’s director of AI technology strategic planning, said on Monday at the annual MWC Barcelona mobile trade show.
In addition to enabling users to erase unwanted objects from photos, Oppo was also developing AI features that could enhance live images and correct common issues, such as closed eyes in group portraits, Chen said.
Chinese brands at MWC highlighted their collaborations with Google to use its Gemini model, showcasing features such as AI photo erasers and smart agents. However, analysts have cautioned that this could lead to a lack of differentiation among competitors.
