Ever since its first introduction, Livephoto has polarized smartphone users and critics alike. Some dismiss it as a memory-wasting gimmick, adding nothing more than a few seconds of seemingly insignificant video to a photo. Others, however, embrace it as a magical tool that breathes life into otherwise still moments, allowing them to relive memories with greater emotion and depth. For its supporters, Livephoto is more than a feature—it's an experience.

OPPO sits squarely in the latter camp, seeing Livephoto as the latest frontier in photography, filled with even more untapped potential to be explored. As AI begins to revolutionize smartphone photography, OPPO believes that now is a better time than ever to reimagine Livephoto and elevate it to the next level. More than just a rehash of an old feature with a novelty upgrade, this brand-new AI Livephoto leverages the power of AI to capture something meaningful, empowering users to document the beauty of their lives more effortlessly than ever before.

A Stress-Free Way to Capture Your Life

Have you ever missed that perfect photo moment because you blinked at the wrong time? Or maybe you've just not been sure how to capture a scene that you wish could be etched into your mind forever? These are the types of real-life challenges that drive OPPO's innovations in imaging technology.

For these two issues in particular, Livephoto just so happens to offer an excellent solution. But it's also so much more than a second chance to capture those moments you might otherwise regret missing; it can be a steppingstone for users venturing into video creation. By bridging the gap between static photos and dynamic videos, Livephoto makes it easier for you to create and capture your own beautiful memories.

Now, with OPPO AI Livephoto, capturing that perfect moment couldn't be easier. The new feature automatically records a 1.5-second time capsule before and after you press the shutter, adding a new dimension to your photo memories. It also pulls out all the stops to make sure these memories are captured with the quality they deserve. To counter smaller hand movements, industry-leading AI de-blurring and EIS technology work seamlessly to stabilize your shots. For bigger movements, OPPO's exclusive visual recognition algorithm removes all unwanted motion, leaving you with smoother, steadier moments every time you record.

In the same way that AI is currently revolutionizing all aspects of the smart experience, its introduction to Livephoto recording is also re-invigorating an outdated format. Thanks to advanced intelligence, AI Livephoto makes capturing life's moments truly stress-free, no matter how big or small. Whether it's the sound of a child's laughter, the beauty of a romantic sunset, or the fun of a spontaneous celebration, AI Livephoto helps make sure no precious memory slips away.

Photo-Perfect Livephotos, Frame by Frame

Creating the professional-yet-simple experience of AI Livephoto involves far more than simply adding a video snippet to the photo.

While photo and video may seem similar to the end user, the way they are recorded and processed couldn't be more different. Have you ever noticed how the image you see on your phone while recording doesn't always match the final video? That's because real-time video processing using advanced algorithms requires a vast amount of computing power. As a result, much of the processing is typically applied after the recording is complete.

But now, thanks to the latest MediaTek Dimensity 8350 mobile platform customized by OPPO and MediaTek, AI Livephoto on the new Reno13 Pro delivers a true "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" experience. Every frame of the 3-second video is processed in real time with the same algorithms used for still photography. This guarantees that each frame looks just as professional and visually stunning as the main photo or key frame.

Compare OPPO Livephotos side by side with any other and it's easy to see that no other smartphone captures each frame with such sharpness and depth.

This advanced processing also opens up all-new creative possibilities. Users can apply the same editing features to AI Livephotos as they do to regular photos—features like the OPPO exclusive Soft Light Portrait, ProXDR, retouching effects and more. Together, they make OPPO's AI Livephoto editing capabilities unmatched in the Android ecosystem.

Saving and Sharing Your Memories Has Never Been Easier

Creating visually stunning AI Livephotos is only part of the equation. Making sure they are easy to store and share is equally critical. Here, the challenges revolve around another common issue—the file format.

Technically, AI Livephotos are videos at heart, which naturally take up more space than static images. This leads to the question: how can we reduce the size of these videos while maintaining quality and ensuring maximum compatibility so that they can be shared with all friends and family, everywhere?

To address both of these issues, OPPO has developed a custom compression and decompression method that ensures each AI Livephoto is no bigger than around 10MB, while also balancing quality and compatibility. This breakthrough enables seamless sharing, not just between OPPO devices but also between iOS devices for the first time.

Now, sharing Livephotos with friends on iOS has never been easier. Simply download and install the O+ Connect app on the iOS device, open the Livephoto you want to share on your OPPO device, tap the share button in the bottom-right corner, select ‘Transfer to iPhone,' and place the tops of the two devices together¹. Just like that, you can relive and share your unforgettable memories in seconds.

With AI Livephoto, OPPO is determined to change the perception of Livephotos as "just another feature". More than a throwaway novelty, they're a powerful tool for reliving, sharing, and preserving memories.

On the Reno13 Series, every moment is transformed into a living, lasting memory through AI Livephoto. Whether it's a momentary smile, a breathtaking view, or a fun-filled celebration—no memory is out of reach, and no moment is too small to cherish.
