Leading global smart device brand OPPO and mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) tested the all-new AI LinkBoost 2.0 technology in the OPPO Reno13 Series 5G across Metro Manila.

In an attempt to check the strengths of the AI LinkBoost 2.0, OPPO and Smart teamed up again to conduct a series of rigid tests. The OPPO Reno13 Series 5G, which was awarded the prestigious TÜV Rheinland High Network-Performance Certificate, topped competing smartphones in maintaining and recovering connectivity and speed.

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.

Powered by the much-improved AI LinkBoost 2.0, the OPPO Reno13 Series 5G showed superior performance in terms of connecting to the internet or making calls and smoothly switching between different network types. The newest OPPO AI Phones were also faster in sending files such as photos and videos in busy locations, playing videos on subways and recovering signals in places such as elevators where network interference usually occurs.

First introduced in the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G last year, the AI LinkBoost 2.0 now has 11 individual antennas. This innovation seamlessly goes along with the 360º Surround Antenna solution that enhances signal strength, giving its users reliable connection all the time.

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 subway 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.
