OPPO Redefines Personalized Mobile AI Experiences with Google

[Spain – Oct 25, 2025] – OPPO, a leading global smart device brand, today announced a deeper collaboration with Google to redefine personalized and secure mobile AI, focusing on personalized AI capabilities, AI model deployment, and AI privacy. Through this technical cooperation, OPPO aims to deliver more intuitive, secure, and comprehensive mobile AI experiences to users worldwide.

"Working closely with partners like Google allows us to integrate next-generation AI experiences that are not only powerful but also highly personalized and secure," said Kai Tang, President of Software Engineering at OPPO. "Our goal is to provide users with an AI assistant that both truly understands their personal needs and is also worthy of being entrusted with their personal data."

Take action with Mind Space in Gemini

Central to this collaboration is our app Mind Space available on the upcoming Find X9 Series, designed to help users capture and organize information more intuitively.

With a simple three-finger swipe, content currently on screen—whether text, images, or web pages—can be saved directly into a unified hub. Mind Space automatically categorizes saved content, providing a single, organized location for users' ideas and information.

To unlock its full potential, OPPO has partnered with Google to connect the app Mind Space with Gemini. This allows Gemini to now pull information and help users take action with content from Mind Space. And you stay in control at all times by choosing what Gemini can see and pull from within Mind Space. For example, a user planning a trip can save articles and notes to their Mind Space, then ask Gemini to create a detailed itinerary using the content that has been saved.

When editing images, users can use Gemini to get access to Nano Banana -Gemini’s new image editing model. Nano Banana allows users to enhance their photos with creative edits using a simple prompt on generated or uploaded images.

A Foundation Built on Privacy and Trust

As AI becomes more integrated into daily life, OPPO and Google have engineered a solution with user privacy as a core principle. The collaboration utilizes the OPPO AI Private Computing Cloud (PCC), which leverages Google Cloud's confidential computing services.

This architecture ensures that sensitive data for AI processing is handled in a secure and encrypted environment, making it inaccessible to any third party, including OPPO. Key features such as AI Mind Space, AI Search, AI Call Summary, AI VoiceScribe, AI Recorder, and AI Writer all operate within this secure framework, allowing users to leverage intelligent services with the confidence that their personal data remains private.

Launching on OPPO Find X9 Series

The full suite of these advanced AI features will debut on the upcoming OPPO Find X9 Series and ColorOS 16 on OPPO flagship devices. Purchasers of Find X9 or Find X9 Pro will receive a complimentary three-month subscription to Google AI Pro, which includes higher access to new and powerful features in Gemini and 2TB of cloud storage.

Fang Fei, President of Products at HONOR, and Yang Dongsheng, Senior Vice President of BYD and President of the Automotive New Technology Research Institute, signed on behalf of their companies, marking the start of deeper cooperation in intelligent mobility.

 This strategic partnership is not only a deep collaboration in technology and ecosystem between two industry leaders, but also a forward-looking commitment to the future of intelligent mobility.

 The partnership will progress along three pillars:

• Core technology and features: Joint innovation in cross-device ecosystem integration, AI agent integration, and high-precision Bluetooth-based car key.
• Channel ecosystem and user benefits: establishing a collaborative channel model that leverages HONOR’s connected vehicle capabilities and BYD’s intelligent ecosystem to maximize interoperability between platforms.
• Joint communications and user engagement: Collaborative marketing, joint launches and user engagement around key launch milestones.

 HONOR and BYD first collaborated in 2023, introducing smartphone NFC car keys that let BYD owners lock and unlock vehicles with HONOR smartphones. In 2024, the partnership extended to in-vehicle fast charging. In 2025, building on phone-to-car connectivity, the partners deepened cooperation: DENZA became the first brand to adopt HONOR Car Connect, with coverage expanding across additional BYD brands to enable seamless cross-device interaction and service continuity.

 “At HONOR, we have always believed that the key to maximizing human potential lies in the combination of a human-centric focus and technology. Our partnership with BYD is a comprehensive collaboration for the AI era, with smart mobility as the key strategic focus at this stage. Together, we will advance joint technology development, complement each other’s strengths, and co-create an ecosystem of seamless and intelligent mobility experiences that enrich every journey and help usher in a new paradigm of smart living,” said James Li, CEO of HONOR.

 This strategic cooperation represents both a deep integration of technology and resources and a significant innovation in intelligent mobility. Looking ahead, both companies will continue to be user-centric and AI-driven, accelerating development and rollout of phone-to-car connectivity, digital keys, and other features while enhancing safety and convenience across smart mobility scenarios.

 The upcoming 2025 HONOR Global Developers Conference and AI Device Ecosystem Conference on October 23rd will also showcase the collaborative achievements of both parties. HONOR will also highlight the HONOR AI Connect platform and its role in building human-centric, scenario-based AI ecosystem solutions during the conference.

These High-Speed, Ultra-Portable Chargers are the Ultimate Everyday Companion for Your iPhone 17

MANILA, Philippines – Every year brings new smartphones that promise to do more: to capture, create, and connect faster and more efficiently than ever. With smartphones like the new iPhone 17 pushing performance to new heights, the need for quick, reliable charging is clear. In fact, its full fast-charge potential kicks in only with a 40W charger like Apple’s new Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max. 

With this in mind, Anker has released the Ultimate Portability Line, a collection of compact, high-speed chargers and power banks. It’s built to be compatible with the newest iPhone series, with products such as Anker Nano Power Bank (10,000mAh 45W) with Retractable Cables and Anker Nano Charger (45W) with USB-C to USB-C Cable delivering up to 45W output, for lightweight power for the strongest iPhone yet.

Using next-generation technology, these chargers stay cool and efficient even while delivering more power than ever, making them the ultimate everyday companions for your devices.

Power That Fits Anywhere

The Ultimate Portability Lineup from Anker focuses on one thing: maximum power in minimum size.

The new Anker Laptop Power Bank (25K, 165W) packs laptop-level charging into a body small enough to fit into your everyday tote bag or laptop pouch. It comes with the lightest retractable-cable power bank in its class, provides 165W total output and 100W single-port, and is powerful enough for laptops, tablets, and the iPhone 17’s new fast-charge system.

For those who need someone light and palm-sized for their commutes, meetings, or shoots and are constantly moving, Anker introduces the ultra-light 45W Anker Nano Power Bank at 235g — perfectly matching the thin and lightweight design of the new iPhone 17. The Anker Nano Power Bank (10K, 45W) with retractable cables is made exactly for that - keeping you powered through wherever your day takes you with fast charging up at 70W.

Even driving gets an upgrade with the Nano USB-C Car Charger (75W) with retractable cables, so even long drives or mobile work setups stay fully charged. Meanwhile, those who prefer a cleaner setup at home, the Anker Nano Charger (45W) lets three devices charge from a single, sleek plug, and it includes 1 USB-C port with up to 45W charging. Its size is 33 x 32x 36.5mm = 38544, redacted by 78% vs Apple’s 40W charger: 81.28 x 66.04 x 33.02mm = 177242.

Small in Size, Big in Performance

Anker’s Ultimate Portability Line proves that convenience doesn’t mean compromise. Powered by next-generation GaN technology, each charge delivers faster, efficient performance in a form that’s up to 50% smaller and lighter than traditional chargers. Some are even more compact than the iPhone 17 itself. 

Designed with clean lines and minimalist finishes, the collection is made for modern life - from your workspace at home to your set up when working remotely. More than accessories, these are tools that move with you: simple, reliable, and designed to ensure charging at maximum supported speed, maintain battery health, and eliminate the need for multiple bulky adapters. 

It’s the essence of Anker’s “Charge Faster, Travel Lighter” philosophy - meant to build tools for a world where work, play, and travel happen all at once.

Anker’s Ultimate Portability Line - includes the Nano 45W USB-C Charger, Nano Charger (3 Ports, 70W Wall Charger), Anker Laptop Power Bank (25K, 165W, Built-In and Retractable Cables), Anker Nano Power Bank (10,000mAh 45W), and Anker Nano 75W USB-C Car Charger.
