Smart helps OPPO test the Reno13 Series 5G’s AI Linkboost 2.0
With the AI Linkboost 2.0, the OPPO Reno13 Series 5G ensures you get the best network you possibly could.
When OPPO released their OPPO Reno13 Series 5G earlier this year, they did so with the intention to fully embed AI into every corner of the unit. While photography enjoys majority of OPPO’s robust suite of AI enhancements, there are other facets of the OPPO Reno13 Series 5G that also benefit from the brand’s AI optimization algorithm — one of which is ensuring that you always get the best connection you could possibly get with the OPPO AI Linkboost 2.0.
It starts with having a 360-degree surround antenna design system that’s further enhanced by placing 11 individual antennas all around the unit. The AI network system intelligently switches between networks depending on the environment you’re in, let’s say stepping in and out of an elevator and/or you’re going into a highly network congested area like a Kpop concert.
Instead of tooting their own horn, OPPO Philippines sought the help of another company that specializes in providing fast and reliable mobile and fixed internet network, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), to conduct a series of test to for the OPPO Reno13 Series 5G’s AI Linkboost 2.0.
The result? OPPO Reno13 Series 5G’s bested other devices when put in challenging environments, including areas with weak signals and weak WiFi coverage, heavily congested locations, subways and quickly recovering signals in areas with network interference.
According to a press release sent by the brand, the OPPO AI Linkboost 2.0 performed well in 5 key areas: Weak Signal Areas, Signal Recovery Speeds, WiFi Coverage, Rapid Network Selection & Connection, and File Transfer Speed in Congested Area Networks.
Weak Signal Areas: The OPPO Reno13 5G delivered impressive performance in areas with weak signals, achieving download speeds of 82.6 MBPS and upload speeds of 7.2 MBPS—significantly outperforming competitor devices. In comparison, other competitors recorded average download speeds ranging from 32.9 to 36.3 MBPS and upload speeds between 4.8 and 6.7 MBPS.
Signal Recovery Speeds: Elevators often cause significant signal loss, but the OPPO Reno 13 5G excels in rapid reconnection. During 10 trials, it restored signal in just 9.6 seconds on average, while some competitors took up to 40 seconds—making the Reno 13 5G 76% faster in terms of network recovery.
WiFi Coverage: OPPO’s Reno 13 5G, powered by AI LinkBoost 2.0, extends Wi-Fi connectivity 37.95% farther than competitors in recent trials. This innovation ensures stronger, more stable connections for seamless browsing, gaming, and streaming.
Rapid Network Selection & Connection: The OPPO Reno 13 5G with LinkBoost 2.0 has outperformed competitors in Manila Metro mobility tests, delivering 35.5 seconds of lag when streaming YouTube and TikTok videos, even in tunnels. Competitors experienced up to 100 seconds of lag. With faster network selection and seamless connection, the Reno 13 5G sets a new standard for real-world connectivity.
File Transfer in Congested Network Areas: The OPPO Reno 13 5G outperforms competitors with an average media transfer time of just 1.8 seconds in heavily congested areas—up to 90% faster than other devices, which took up to 21 seconds.
Do take note that these results, while real world, are based on certain conditions and replicating them may differ due to weather and other factors.
OPPO’s never-ending search for innovation is encapsulated in the successful trials of the AI LinkBoost 2.0 of the OPPO Reno13 Series 5G, further highlighting how AI can potentially improve connectivity among Filipinos even in the most challenging situations.
