OPPO Demos Industry-Leading On-Device AI Performance at Snapdragon Summit 2025 - China

Global leading smart device brand OPPO today unveiled major breakthroughs in on-device artificial intelligence at the Snapdragon Summit 2025 - China in Beijing, establishing new industry benchmarks for mobile AI inference performance. In close collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., OPPO has further optimized the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform to achieve unprecedented processing speeds and contextual understanding, advancing its vision of enhancing daily life with AI.

Unmatched Speed: 200+ Tokens per Second On-Device AI Inference

At the Snapdragon Summit 2025 - China, OPPO demonstrated groundbreaking on-device AI performance on the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform. With a processing speed surpassing 200 tokens per second, it represents the fastest announced on-device inference performance to date in the industry. This achievement stems from the companies working together on parallel decoding 

architecture, combined with comprehensive optimization of the new Snapdragon mobile platform, which together deliver an 8x improvement from the previous generation in decoding acceleration. The technology can generate a full page of text in under two seconds, enabling real-time applications such as multi-paragraph translation and content creation, with latency that rivals cloud-based services, all while operating securely and efficiently on the device.

Extended Context: Analyzing 300-Page Documents Entirely On-Device

Equally transformative is OPPO's breakthrough in on-device context handling, a powerful capability that supports a context length of up to 128K—the equivalent of roughly 200,000 words or 300 pages of text—entirely on the device. Enabled by OPPO's self-developed long-context acceleration technology, this feature allows seamless interpretation of large documents without cloud dependency. It provides professionals in fields such as legal and healthcare with powerful offline tools for analyzing complex materials while ensuring complete data privacy and security by keeping all sensitive information on the device.

Hybrid AI Strategy Combines Device and Cloud Capabilities

These innovations form part of OPPO's broader hybrid AI approach, which strategically combines on-device efficiency and privacy with the expansive capacity of cloud-based services. By synchronizing on-device AI enhancements with OS updates, OPPO ensures continuous improvements in speed, capability and security, delivering a refined user experience that leverages the strengths of both local and cloud AI.

Your Personalized AI: The Future of Smart and Secure Experiences

Through these demonstrations, OPPO is collaborating with key companies like Qualcomm Technologies, to accelerate the development and adoption of AI technology, making mobile AI a daily experience. By building foundations for agentic AI and introducing the user-knowledge system that reduces information fragmentation, OPPO is delivering deeply personalized AI experiences. With privacy protection ensured by Private Computing Cloud (PCC) and supported by strong industry partnerships, OPPO aims to bring transformative AI experiences to nearly 100 million users by the end of 2025.
