AI Eraser and other AI-based features will be available for the Oppo Reno 11 series globally in Q2 2024.
The company announced on Wednesday that generative artificial intelligence (AI)-based features for the Oppo Reno 11 series will be available soon. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer additionally disclosed that it has set up an AI Center to foster innovation in the rapidly developing field of technology. The company’s priorities will be developing smartphones that are ready for AI and adding new features to its current lineup.

The Oppo AI Center will be the company’s specialized research and development division, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence and its applications, the company noted in its announcement. It will also give users worldwide access to a wider variety of AI features and products that are focused on them. This suggests that Oppo may introduce specialized AI hardware, akin to the AI Pin and Rabbit R1 from Humane.
