OPPO has launched a self-developed industry-leading high-precision positioning algorithm. The technology will enable the mobile phone navigation system to provide accurate location within a one-meter radius.
Levin Liu, OPPO Vice President and Head of OPPO Research Institute, said, “In this 5G era, where connectivity is fundamental, various applications require an improved navigation system for both indoor and outdoor uses. In response to this growing market demand, OPPO is implementing its high-precision RTK positioning technology to smartphones and we believe this technology will benefit a wide range of uses.”
To improve user experience in mobile navigation, OPPO brought in RTK technology to smartphones to complement current positioning algorithm. RTK positioning technology is based on carrier phase measurement. It processes the data obtained between measuring stations in real-time to deliver precise positioning.
In the past, this technology’s application was for industrial measuring, which utilizes large complex systems, thereby not suitable for smartphones. OPPO also developed an algorithm that uses information from existing mobile phone sensors. It includes accelerometers and gyroscopes to improve positioning accuracy and reduce the effect of signal interference.
Currently, OPPO continues to work on perfecting and commercializing its technology. The company also targets the tech to commercially roll out in 2021.

Moreover, the Find X2 Pro arrives with 12GB RAM and 512GB ROM.
“With the continuous roll out of 5G in the Philippines, 5G will soon become the new norm on internet connectivity for Filipinos. It is definitely an exciting time for OPPO as we also help spearhead globally this technological advancement so we can continuously offer the best digital experience for our consumers. On a local level, OPPO is working closely with network operators in bringing in the best 5G enabled OPPO smartphones that will address their specific needs and their lifestyle,” said OPPO Philippines Marketing Director Raymond Xia.
