Chinese smartphone company Oppo is ranked second in mainland China and fourth worldwide according to Canalys. The company is focusing on artificial intelligence, collaborating with Google and Microsoft to develop AI applications. Oppo’s upcoming flagship phone will utilize AI tools from Google and Microsoft, with a focus on consumer needs.
