Chinese tech companies are shining at the ongoing Mobile World Congress 2022, a major telecom industry event in Barcelona, Spain, as they showcase their latest technologies to seek a wider presence in Europe and beyond.
The three-day event attracted more than 50 Chinese companies including Huawei Technologies Co, Oppo, Lenovo Group Ltd, and Honor Device Co Ltd, which are displaying their latest offerings such as premium smartphones, flash-charging technologies and upgraded 5G portfolios.
Oppo, for instance, showcased its 240-watt flash charging technology that can charge 4,500 milliampere-hour batteries in nine minutes, which is the world's fastest phone charging.
Despite the very high power output of 240 watts, Oppo said it conforms to standards for heat dissipation. By taking a holistic approach to the safety of the adapter, charging cable and the handset, Oppo said it minimizes potential safety hazards and risks, providing efficient and secure charging solutions.
Billy Zhang, vice-president of overseas sales and service at Oppo, said the company wants to use innovation and collaboration to collectively overcome challenges with its partners.
Oppo saw fast growth in overseas markets such as Europe last year, according to market research company Canalys. And as a pioneer in 5G, Oppo has ranked as the world's second-largest Android 5G smartphone brand for two consecutive years.
On the sidelines of the MWC, Honor also unveiled its latest premium smartphone, the Honor Magic 4 series, as it showcased its ambition to make a big splash in the global high-end smartphone market this year.
Zhao Ming, CEO of Honor, said the company has more than 11,000 employees, and half of them are in research and development. And it now has six R&D centers outside China with two of them located in France and Japan.
