Oppo has also included an Omoji feature, which much like Apple’s Memoji creates a stylised render of your face that can reflect your movements and expressions in real time. Oppo says their new face capture algorithm uses 77 pinpoints and 200+ stylistic elements to reflect your face accurately.

The new PC Connect feature was also shown off, which is a software for Windows which let users keep their devices in sync. Users can keep a shared clipboard between their phone and PC, or even mirror notifications. File transfer between phone and PC can be done wirelessly with a simple drag and drop.
