In terms of app performance, several popular applications (including WeChat, Taobao, and QQ Mobile) have been optimized. Oppo claims that WeChat (Chinese alternative to WhatsApp) has received optimization for 11 different high-frequency usage scenarios. The fluidity of incoming and outgoing WeChat messages has improved by 29.8 percent. Additionally, the smoothness of scrolling through the app has increased by 19.9 percent, while the fluidity of unread chats has been enhanced by 23.5 percent. GIFs also run 35.9 percent faster.
Oppo has announced that the Oppo R17 and R17 Pro will be the first two smartphones to receive the Hyper Boost technology. The company claims that it also plans to combine the AI (artificial intelligence) characteristics with Hyper Boost to make the process even more efficient.
