Over the past two years, OPPO, a Chinese mobile giant, has reportedly developed its high-end chips for flagship mobile phones. In late 2021, reports confirmed the development and pointed out that OPPO’s self-develop chips will likely arrive soon.

Two sources also affirmed that OPPO plans to release custom SoCs in 2023 or 2024, depending on the development speed.

However, as we just discovered today, a new leak has revealed that OPPO’s self-develop chips are on their way. According to the tipster, OPPO has a chip development team of thousands of people who are optimistic about developing OPPO chips. With the number of these teams, the OPPO chip’s processor is guaranteed as the team is very confident of its coming to the mobile sphere.

OPPO has used chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek, like all other Chinese smartphone vendors, since the crackdown on Huawei. For its low-cost Mi 5C phone, Xiaomi created and introduced a low-end SoC dubbed the Surge S1 in 2017. Still, ever subsequently, its chip design efforts have been restricted to auxiliary parts like image signal processors.

According to reports, OPPO is interested in using the 3-nanometer chip manufacturing technology made available by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the largest contract chipmaker in the world. It would join the second group of TSMC customers to utilize cutting-edge technology after Apple and Intel.

It is a known fact that the in-house creation of essential chips might help improve supply chain management and mitigate major shortages and disruptions. Therefore, this demonstrates OPPO’s dedication to creating premium mobile processors that can compete with the world’s top semiconductor manufacturers.

Upon being officially announced, OPPO will join the likes of Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi, who have their chips. At the same time, the Chinese smartphone makers will also be competing with Google, which recently unveiled the Pixel 6 with its self-developed chips. Given the latest developments, OPPO chips are expected to be official soon, but no specific date yet. Thus, stay connected with TechGenyz for more updates.
