    Oppo’s got the Mind Space to make AI more personal with Google

    MUMBAI: Oppo is giving artificial intelligence a human touch and a safe space to think. The smartphone maker has joined forces with Google to take mobile AI beyond the buzzword, with a partnership designed to make smart devices not just intuitive, but also private, personal, and powerful.

    The collaboration centres on creating what Oppo calls “personalised and secure mobile AI”, blending the company’s software finesse with Google’s Gemini ecosystem. The goal? To deliver next-gen AI experiences that understand users better while keeping their data off-limits to everyone else.

    “Working closely with partners like Google allows us to integrate next-generation AI experiences that are not only powerful but also highly personalised and secure,” said Oppo president of software engineering Kai Tang. “Our goal is to provide users with an AI assistant that truly understands their needs and is worthy of their trust.”

    At the heart of this collaboration lies Mind Space, a smart productivity app debuting on the upcoming Find X9 Series. Think of it as a digital diary that remembers everything for you. With a simple three-finger swipe, users can save text, images, or web pages into one unified hub. Mind Space then auto-categorises and stores the content, so your ideas, plans, and to-dos live in one tidy corner of your phone.

    But the real power play begins when Mind Space meets Gemini. The integration allows Gemini to draw from saved information with the user’s permission and help take action. Planning a vacation? Just stash your notes and articles in Mind Space and ask Gemini to whip up an itinerary. Need a reminder for tomorrow’s meeting or a follow-up email draft? Gemini’s got it covered.

    The collaboration doesn’t stop there. Users can now chat with Gemini across Oppo’s suite of apps, use Gemini Live to ask questions about what’s on their screen or camera, and even edit photos using Gemini’s new AI model, Nano Banana. With a simple prompt, Nano Banana can retouch, enhance, or creatively transform images, turning quick snaps into scroll-stopping visuals.

    And while Gemini is the brain of the operation, Oppo’s AI Private Computing Cloud (PCC) ensures it all runs in a locked vault. Built on Google Cloud’s confidential computing technology, PCC encrypts and processes data in a secure environment invisible even to Oppo itself. Core AI features like AI Mind Space, AI Search, AI Recorder, AI Call Summary, AI VoiceScribe, and AI Writer all operate under this privacy-first architecture.

    This powerful blend of intelligence and integrity will first roll out with Oppo’s Find X9 Series and ColorOS 16 flagship devices. To sweeten the deal, buyers of the Find X9 or X9 Pro will receive a complimentary three-month subscription to Google AI Pro offering early access to premium Gemini features and 2TB of cloud storage.

    By combining Oppo’s design sensibilities with Google’s AI muscle, the partnership is setting the stage for smartphones that don’t just think fast, they think for you, with you, and about you. Because in Oppo’s world, the smartest AI is the one that minds your space.

  • Drawer to dollar Cashify unlocks India’s 219.7 billion dollar resale boom

    Drawer to dollar Cashify unlocks India’s 219.7 billion dollar resale boom

    MUMBAI: Phones that gather dust in drawers may soon gather dollars instead. With the refurbished smartphone market pegged to hit a staggering 219.7 billion dollars by 2033, India is powering up to become the world’s recycling and recommerce hub and Cashify’s Great Indian Upgrade 2025 whitepaper shows just how big this reboot really is.

    Drawing insights from 10,000 survey respondents, proprietary marketplace data, and reports from IDC, Counterpoint and Canalys, the study maps how resale culture has shifted from hush-hush grey channels to an increasingly mainstream movement. Yet, the so-called “Drawer Economy” remains a colossal untapped treasure chest 70 per cent of Indians admit to hoarding two to three unused phones at home, signalling billions of rupees in locked-up value.

    The shift in behaviour is undeniable: 33 per cent of consumers now sell old phones to fund upgrades, 40 per cent are lured by competitive buyback offers, and 63 per cent dispose of devices within six months of upgrading. But the grey market still dominates, with 77 per cent of resale happening informally, Cashify argues this highlights the urgent need for trusted, transparent platforms.

    India shipped 151 million smartphones in 2024, up 4 per cent year-on-year, with the average selling price climbing to Rs 22,100. While Apple’s shipments surged 35 per cent, making India its fourth-largest global market, the brand also dominates resale: it commanded 64.5 per cent of refurbished sales in 2024 and 62.9 per cent in the first half of 2025. Three in five refurbished buyers picked Iphones driven by steady demand for the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro in the premium Rs 60,000-plus bracket, which itself grew 33 per cent YoY.

    Following Apple are Oneplus (10.2 per cent), Xiaomi (9.7 per cent), Samsung (6.1 per cent) and Vivo, which is showing the fastest growth, rising from 2.1 per cent in 2024 to 3.2 per cent in H1 2025. Oppo and Realme follow at 2.4 per cent and 1.9 per cent respectively.

    While Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai remain the epicentres of trade-ins and refurbished sales, tier-2 and tier-3 cities are catching up fast, signalling that circular tech culture is spreading beyond metros.

    Cashify has also unveiled India’s first Repairability Index, ranking brands on spare-part availability and repair scores addressing one of the biggest barriers to longer device lifecycles. A solid 57.9 per cent of consumers say they prefer repair over replacement, though cost (53.2 per cent) and part shortages remain major hurdles.

    Backing this push is Cashify’s “repair-first, recycle-always” ecosystem, powered by 200 plus physical stores, a 10,000 plus retailer network, and an AI-driven 80,000 sq. ft. refurbishment facility.

    Awareness is on the rise: 76 per cent of respondents could correctly define “refurbished” as “like new tested and repaired by experts.” Of all refurbished buyers, 60 per cent chose Apple, with purchasing patterns shifting upwards: 32.4 per cent spent Rs 21,000–35,000, while 17.1 per cent spent over Rs 50,000. The top drivers? “Like new at lower cost” (50.8 per cent), “budget fit” (32.4 per cent) and sustainability (8 per cent).

    What builds trust? A 12-month warranty tops the list (52.5 per cent), followed by detailed device reports (16.9 per cent) and “try before you buy” options (16.9 per cent).

    “India’s 219B dollars resale revolution isn’t just a market opportunity, it’s a chance to redefine how technology is consumed,” said Cashify co-founder & CEO Mandeep Manocha. “Our findings clearly show consumers are embracing resale, yet the untapped ‘Drawer Economy’ highlights the urgent need for trusted platforms.”

    Cashify co-founder & CMO Nakul Kumar added: “For too long, old phones have been treated as clutter rather than capital. India’s upgrade culture is shifting from impulsive consumption to mindful circulation. Repairability is key when fixing devices becomes easier, sustainability becomes everyday action.”

    The whitepaper also calls for supportive policy frameworks, from easing customs on refurbished imports to tax incentives for sustainable recycling and digital traceability for e-waste.

    As India transitions from hoarding to habit, Cashify’s data-rich report positions recommerce not just as a market disruptor but as a mainstream economic force, one that puts forgotten phones back in play, turns drawers into goldmines, and powers India’s leap towards a greener digital future.

    Prime Video doubles the fun with Kajol and Twinkle in new talk show

    MUMBAI: Double the sparkle, double the sass Prime Video is bringing Kajol and Twinkle Khanna together as co-hosts for the very first time in its latest unscripted Original, Oppo presents Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, co-presented by Kohler and Kalyan Jewellers. The global premiere is set for 25 September, with new episodes dropping every Thursday.

    Backed by Banijay Asia, the series promises unfiltered conversations, candid confessions, and laughter-laced mischief with some of Indian cinema’s biggest names. The format thrives on the contrasting-yet-complementary styles of its hosts: Kajol’s effervescent charm meets Twinkle’s razor-sharp wit, making for conversations that veer well beyond the usual celebrity chatter.

    “A star-studded guest lineup and conversations that are fresh, spontaneous, and entertaining Two Much goes beyond the usual celebrity chatter,” said Prime Video India director and head of originals Nikhil Madhok adding that the duo’s “humour and candour” will keep audiences hooked.

    Banijay Asia and Endemol Shine India group chief development officer Mrinalini Jain called it a show about “what Kajol and Twinkle want to ask, what they care about, and how they choose to show up funny, unfiltered, and deeply honest.”

    The partners behind the show are equally upbeat. Oppo India head of PR and communications Goldee Patnaik linked the association to Oppo’s ethos of inspiring youth to “live in the moment,” while Kohler MD for K&B South Asia Ranjeet Oak highlighted its celebration of originality and bold voices. Kalyan Jewellers executive director Ramesh Kalyanaraman added that the show mirrors the brand’s values of “warmth, humour, and genuine conversation.”

    With Kajol’s infectious energy, Twinkle’s trademark sass, and a guest list primed for fireworks, Two Much sets itself up as a talk show with a difference, an entertainment cocktail that’s equal parts glamour, candour, and chaos.

    Oppo teams up with Croma to dial up Reno14 Series 5G launch across India

    MUMBAI: Oppo has joined forces with electronics retail giant Croma to launch the sleek new Reno14 Series 5G smartphones in India, starting at Rs 37,999. The co-branded rollout combines Oppo’s cutting-edge mobile tech with Croma’s 560+ store network across 200 cities, giving shoppers a rare hands-on peek before they hit “buy”.

    The phones, unveiled at a packed live event at Vegas Mall, Dwarka, come loaded with pro-grade features: a 50MP 3.5x telephoto lens, Ultra-Clear 4K HDR video at 60fps, and the all-new AI Editor 2.0, making it a content creator’s dream companion.

  • Oppo plays it smart with Gen Z in ‘Har Scene Ka Asli Partner’ blitz

    Oppo plays it smart with Gen Z in ‘Har Scene Ka Asli Partner’ blitz

    MUMBAI: When life gives Gen Z heartbreak, potholes, and 7 per cent battery anxiety, Oppo gives them the K13x and a campaign that quite literally meets them where they are. Launched in collaboration with Flipkart and led by SW Network, the ‘Har Scene Ka Asli Partner’ campaign turns everyday desi dilemmas into brand gold, making the Oppo K13x 5G a street-smart star.

    Armed with military-grade durability, superfast charging, and a long-lasting battery, the K13x is clearly built for life’s curveballs. But instead of singing specs in a sterile studio, the campaign took to the streets and memes with cultural insight and cleverness in equal measure.

    From quirky OOH billboards in college zones declaring “Bro, Kya Scene hai? vs Bro, Scene Ho Gya,” to live charging kiosks that saved the day (and your phone), every touchpoint served more than just copy, it offered context.

    And in a monsoon masterstroke, SW Network turned India’s dreaded potholes into real-world testimonials for toughness. Painted road signs and standees reminded passersby: this phone is pothole-proof.

    Print ads in Dainik Jagran and Navbharat Times added yet another punch, flipping familiar frustrations like slow charging and flimsy builds into moments of revelation. The core idea? “This wouldn’t happen if you had the Oppo K13x.”

    SW Network co-founder Raghav Bagai explained, “Instead of talking about durability in a lab, we showed it where people actually feel the pain on the road. This campaign proves creativity can come from chaos.”

    Meanwhile, digital got its own slice of the action. Meme content and skits by Gen Z creators flooded Instagram and Moj, racking up millions of impressions and cementing the K13x’s place in the cultural scrollscape.

    What began as a smartphone launch has now become a scene-stealer of its own literally. In a cluttered phone market, Oppo and Flipkart have cracked the code: sell the story, not just the specs. And in a world that runs on low battery and high emotion, the K13x might just be the asli partner for every scene.

  • “The democratisation of smartphone photography is incredibly exciting.”: SS Rajamouli

    “The democratisation of smartphone photography is incredibly exciting.”: SS Rajamouli

    Mumbai: Rajamouli’s remarkable works in the cinema industry have left an indelible mark, weaving captivating narratives through frames that evoke raw human emotion. Today, we witness a convergence between parallel and commercial cinema, driven by an audience thirst for diverse narratives.

    Initiatives like the ‘OPPO Imagine IF Photography Awards’ democratise photography, empowering emerging creators to share their unique perspectives. As AI advancements reshape the photography landscape, collaborations like Rajamouli’s with OPPO India promise to advance visual storytelling, technology, and creativity, amplifying voices and enriching global conversations around photography.

    Indiantelevision.com in conversation with director & screenwriter, OPPO ambassador SS Rajamouli discussed his collab with OPPO India, convergence between parallel and commercial cinema, fusion of technology and creativity in photography and much more…

     

    Edited Excerpts:

    On perceiving parallels between filmmaking and photography in conveying emotions and narratives; do you foresee a convergence between parallel and commercial cinema today, and advocate for more diverse cinema beyond mainstream narratives

    Filmmaking and photography capture a moment in time, a single frame that can ignite many emotions. In cinema, we weave narratives through sequences of these frames, but a powerful photograph can achieve the same effect. With a camera, just as in filmmaking, it’s all about capturing light, composition, and the raw power of human emotion – a single tear, a look of joy. It’s about storytelling without words. We are witnessing a beautiful convergence between parallel and commercial cinema in contemporary filmmaking. This convergence is driven by the audience’s increasing demand for diverse narratives and experiences. Parallel cinema brings unique perspectives and artistic depth, while commercial cinema offers grandeur and entertainment value.

    OPPO’s constant innovation excites me. Their commitment empowers everyone to be storytellers, especially through initiatives like the recent ‘OPPO Imagine IF Photography Awards.’ This platform provides a space for new and established talents to share their unique perspectives, enriching the cinematic landscape and fostering inclusivity.

     

    On smartphone camera advancements democratising photography for emerging creators; why is the fusion of technology and creativity in photography exciting for professionals and aspiring creators

    The democratisation of photography through smartphones is incredibly exciting. Brands like OPPO keep innovating, pushing advancements that empower emerging creators to effortlessly translate their vision into reality. This accessibility levels the playing field, allowing anyone to explore their creativity and share their unique perspective with the world.

    This fusion of technology and creativity is a win-win for everyone. Professionals can experiment and capture fleeting moments on the go, while aspiring creators have the tools to hone their craft and build a portfolio. Initiatives like the OPPO imagine IF Photography Awards further fuel this movement by encouraging people to push the boundaries of mobile photography. It’s a fantastic time to be a storyteller, and I can’t wait to see the incredible stories these advancements will help bring to life.

     

    On initiatives like the Imagine IF Photography Awards and platforms like OPPO contributing to fostering creativity and supporting content creators through access to efficient camera technology

    I believe initiatives like the Imagine IF Photography Awards by OPPO are game-changers for nurturing creativity and supporting aspiring photographers.

    These awards recognise and celebrate exceptional mobile photography, inspiring everyday people to push their creative boundaries. The fact that it’s open to all Indians over 18 and has diverse categories like landscape, portrait, and travel, judged by a panel of expert photographers like Joseph Radhik, Arzoo Khurana, Arjun Mark, and other global juries, makes it incredibly inclusive.

    OPPO’s commitment to cutting-edge camera technology empowers these creators to capture their vision without limitations. This fosters a thriving mobile photography community, taking the art form to exciting new heights.

     

    On the role of AI advancements in shaping the photography industry, and have they influenced your own creative process

    The world of filmmaking is constantly evolving, and AI is at the forefront of this change. It has brought incredible advancements to photography, from perfecting image quality to streamlining the editing process. It’s like having a highly skilled assistant by your side. It can take care of tedious tasks like noise reduction and color correction, freeing filmmakers like myself to focus on the bigger picture: the narrative, the emotions, and the composition of the scene. This allows us to spend more time crafting the story we want to tell. I believe AI is a powerful tool that can elevate the storytelling process.

    OPPO truly understands this. By integrating AI into their smartphone cameras, they have put this powerful technology into everyone’s hands. Now, anyone can capture stunning visuals with ease. It’s a game-changer, not just for professional filmmakers like myself, but for aspiring creators and anyone who wants to capture those special moments perfectly. AI in photography is here to empower us all to be storytellers.

     

    On your collaboration with OPPO India and how do you think it will advance photography, technology, and visual storytelling

    As a filmmaker, I value the power of visual storytelling. When OPPO India invited me to become the ambassador for their Imagine IF photography competition, I was intrigued. OPPO India has been at the forefront of innovation in smartphone photography, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in capturing moments with incredible clarity and detail.

    India is home to a rich tapestry of cultures, landscapes, and stories waiting to be told. By amplifying the voices of Indian photographers on the global stage, we can enrich the global conversation around photography and bring diverse perspectives to the forefront. As creators, we must embrace technological innovations to stay ahead of the curve and bring our creative visions to life. Hence, as an OPPO ambassador, I am always excited to see how their latest phones push the boundaries of mobile filmmaking/ photography.
