OPPO has unveiled significant advances in on-device artificial intelligence at the Snapdragon Summit 2025 in Beijing, marking a new milestone in mobile AI performance. The company worked closely with Qualcomm Technologies to optimise the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, achieving processing speeds and contextual understanding that could reshape how users interact with their devices.
At the event, OPPO demonstrated on-device AI inference speeds exceeding 200 tokens per second, setting what it claims is the fastest announced performance in the industry so far. This capability allows a full page of text to be generated in less than two seconds, supporting tasks such as real-time multi-paragraph translation and content creation. OPPO said the improvements stem from a combination of parallel decoding architecture and extensive platform optimisation, resulting in an eightfold acceleration compared with the previous generation. These advancements bring latency close to that of cloud-based services while maintaining security and efficiency on the device.
Handling long documents securely on-device
Another major highlight was OPPO’s work on long-context AI processing. The company revealed that its latest technology can handle a context length of up to 128,000 tokens — equivalent to about 200,000 words or 300 pages of text — entirely on the device. This long-context acceleration supports professionals who need to analyse large volumes of sensitive material, such as legal or medical documents, without relying on cloud processing. By keeping the data on the device, OPPO aims to deliver both powerful AI tools and stronger privacy protection.
Hybrid AI strategy and personalised experiences
These innovations support OPPO’s broader hybrid AI strategy, which combines on-device speed and privacy with the scale and flexibility of cloud-based systems. The approach synchronises improvements in on-device AI with operating system updates, ensuring continued enhancements in performance and security.
OPPO is also developing personalised AI capabilities designed to reduce information fragmentation and provide more intuitive user experiences. This includes a user-knowledge system built with privacy safeguards such as its Private Computing Cloud. The company expects these advancements to help bring AI-driven features to nearly 100 million users by the end of 2025.
By partnering with Qualcomm and other key industry players, OPPO aims to accelerate the mainstream adoption of AI across its devices, blending smart, secure technology with everyday applications.
