How OPPO band can help you improve your heart health

 

We all know that exercise is good for your health, but do you know how much exercise you should do? Maybe you are active, but are you sure if you are getting enough exercise? Or are you overtraining? How does a person know all this? This is where a fitness tracker comes into the picture. 

A good fitness tracker is a great tool to track your heart health. It enables you to check on several things like heart rate, steps, and calories burnt. 





Recently, a newly launched fitness band called OPPO Smart Band is creating quite a buzz in the wearable industry because of its exceptional features. In my opinion, it can really help you to improve your heart's health. Here's how:

 

Heart Rate Monitoring: You can't understand if the new workout is getting too much for you? OPPO Band can help you keep your heart rate in check. It has real-time heart rate monitoring, which alerts you when the rate is too high or too low. When you've been sitting idle for more than an hour, it will send you a notification to get up and move your body a little. Using OPPO Band, you can easily ensure that your heart rate is within the normal range by tweaking your daily activities accordingly.

 

Continuous SpO2 Monitoring: The newly launched OPPO Fitness Band is equipped with continuous SpO2 monitoring that checks whether a user's blood has a sufficient amount of oxygen or not even while he's asleep. It also helps in detecting whether a user has sleeping problems. The basic purpose of a SpO2 monitor is to check whether your heart is pumping enough oxygen in your body or not. With OPPO Fitness Band, which provides continuous SpO2 monitoring, you'll be able to keep a check on how well your heart is functioning. 

 

12 Workout Modes: Running and HIIT workouts are easy to track, but when you're playing badminton, how will you track your activity? OPPO Band has brought a solution. It has 12 active workout modes, from running to swimming to walking. I'd like to talk a bit about its fat burn run mode that provides guidance based on your heart rate. You can improve your heart health with some cardio and track your activity easily on the band.

 

Pedometer: It's not just these physical activity focused features that the OPPO Band has, but, it also has a standard pedometer that counts the steps you take in your day-to-day life. 

 

Other notable features: The band has a 1.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a mental-buckle style strap. The fitness band is available in two colour options - Vanilla and Black. It also has 100 fashionable dials. It supports Bluetooth v5 and is compatible with Android and iOS devices. Among other features, it's water-resistant and takes about 1.5 hours to charge fully. Also, the brand promises that the battery can last up to 12 days. 

 

So what are you waiting for? Improve your health with OPPO Band. Use the tracker daily. Set goals. Find activities you love to do. Check results instantly to stay motivated.

OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G helps you flaunt your videography skills at night

 

OPPO has been making great strides in terms of offering new-age mobile phones that tick all the right boxes. This March, we witnessed another fantastic launch by the brand- the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G. This follows the OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G closely in heels, which forayed into the market in January.

 


The OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G caters to a slightly more affordable price segment, as its variants are available at price tags of Rs 21490, Rs 23490, and Rs 25990. I have gone through its features in a detailed manner, and I think it’s a promising mid-range smartphone, as it offers premium features. 

 

Besides its other technical specifications, the phone is equipped with some cool videography features! Let’s look at some of those features in detail:

 

 

Ultra-Night Video: Be it a family wedding, a birthday party, or simply the night-view from a fancy rooftop restaurant, who doesn’t like to shoot clear and sharp videos at night-time? However, not many phones deliver satisfactory results in this department. The OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G is an exception. It has a large ½ inch 48MP sensor, along with OPPO’s proprietary Ultra Night Video algorithm. This feature automatically detects and applies night-time graphics algorithms to dramatically improve night-time video performance. 

 

When it comes to night-time videos, the most challenging part is to retain the details and quality while enhancing the overall brightness. Industry insiders believe that the Ultra Night Video algorithm will help make the most of the camera hardware. This, in turn, will help in enriching the video quality with better dynamic ranges, richer colour details and increased brightness. What’s more, the phone has this algorithm both for the rear and the front camera. 

 

HDR Video: This feature of the phone automatically recognizes optimizable HDR scenes and uses HDR video technology to make videos look richer, more vibrant, and more natural. This feature helps in improving the dynamic ranges of videos that help in creating richer, more vibrant, and more natural videos. 

 

As far as dimly lit scenarios such as night-time videography are concerned, the HDR Video feature helps expose the image properly so that both the subject and the background are clearly and evenly lit. You can also opt for the Night HDR Video that combines Ultra Night Video and HDR Video functionalities to deliver a high-quality HDR Night Video experience. This feature is also available for both the rear and the front camera. The combination of Ultra-Night Video and HDR Video is called AI-Highlight Video Feature, which allows users to shoot clear videos regardless of the light conditions.

 

Focus Lock: This feature will help users to track any subject in focus, even when moving. This is highly suitable for shooting sports scenes, running pets/children, etc. It goes without saying that we often have moments when we feel like shooting something in motion during night-time. This feature will really come in handy in such situations.

 

It’s clear that the just-launched phone is a stunner. I think it’s going to be an ideal

smartphone for videography.

The popular Bollywood actor, Varun Dhawan, is the ambassador of the OPPO F Series

 


It is undoubtedly a great smartphone in the mid-level for the younger college-going crowd, who don’t want to burn a hole in their pocket but prefer having a mobile phone as a status symbol. The younger generation usually has a great desire to express themselves through their smartphones.

 

If you are one of them, the OPPO F19 Pro + 5G will appeal to you with its exceptional camera features, 5G connectivity, and immersive gaming experience.

Beyond Speed

 

Equipped with a 5G modem, this phone has 8 Antennas in a new 360° wrap-around design for better signal performance. It also offers dual-network channels, which allows a 4G/5G connection to achieve smoother and faster network access. 

 

The OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G is powered by the MediaTek 5G Dimensity 800U. This supports dual-mode (NSA and SA) 5G SIM and is super-fast with eight powerful cores of up to 2.4 GHz and fast memory.

 

This feature-rich smartphone is equipped with a non-removable Li-po 4310 mAh battery + 50W Flash charge. At a time when most manufacturers are selling mobile phones with average charging technologies, the fact that OPPO is providing a 65W VOOC charger in the F19 Pro+ 5G is impressive indeed, since this means the mobile phone will take hardly an hour to fully charge. Isn’t it amazing?

Moreover, you won’t have to wait for game introductions and also for the videos to get loaded. Another one is the Game Floating feature, which keeps a game running in a floating window, ready to be re-accessed anytime.

This is a profile image of the OPPO Band showing the display screen as well as the strap.

Wearing a fitness band on your wrist will help you track your physical activity every day. It can play a key role in your fitness journey by letting you set regular reminders, recording your workout statistics, suggesting different exercise tips, monitoring your health, and so on.

This tool helps in keeping a check on your health during your workout sessions as well as when you’re at rest or sleeping. With prolonged use, you will get into the habit of constantly being in action, which is very crucial, given that we lead a sedentary lifestyle these days.

The best part is, you can flaunt this band not only for your sports activities, but also to match your outfits. Thus, it serves a highly functional purpose while also being a great looker.

a.      The OPPO Fitness Band is expected to have all the features you would expect from a premium fitness band. For example, it monitors your blood oxygen level (SpO2 monitoring), for up to 480 minutes/28,800 times and tracks your sleeping patterns, heart rate, and so on.

 

This image shows the OPPO Band with two strap options/colours.

The continuous SpO2 monitoring, which will be active even when the wearer is asleep, is being touted as the chief highlight of this fitness band. Going by the buzz in the market, the fitness band will be accompanied by a built-in optical blood oxygen sensor.

OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G is expected to be launched in India in early March

 

OPPO indeed seems to be on a roll this year, announcing one brilliant launch after another. On January 18th, it launched the much-talked-about mobile phone called Reno5 Pro 5G, and in less than a couple of months, it is gearing up for yet another major launch- the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G. 

Offered at a price range of around Rs. 25,000, this smartphone is likely to cater to the expectations of buyers looking for a mid-range smartphone. Let’s look at some of the highlights of the phone that are expected to make it stand apart in this segment:

5G technology and other features that make it a futuristic phone!

The phone is likely to run on the MediaTek 5G Dimensity 800U chip that supports a dual-mode 5G sim. Going by industry rumours, it boasts a super-fast memory, thanks to the eight powerful cores of up to 2.4GHz. 

This photo represents MediaTek 5G Dimensity 800U chipset that will help OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G deliver a superfast performance.


The phone, in all likelihood, will come in an all-new 360-degree wrap-around avatar featuring 8 antennas. In terms of connectivity, you can use 4G Internet speed by default, and 5G needs to be manually enabled. In fact, the phone will offer Smart 5G 3.0 technology, wherein it switches between 4G and 5G networks seamlessly, depending on network availability.

However, you will have to turn on 5G for this since enabling 4G by default helps in battery optimisation. Talking about the battery, the buzz is that the 4310mAh battery is long-lasting and comes with Super Night-time Standby Feature. This feature, specially designed for night-time, ensures minimal power consumption overnight.

Unmatched camera features at this price point!

Coming to camera features which is one of the key considerations for buyers of today’s times, the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G is likely to offer four rear cameras designed into one piece. This is ideally in sync with the subtle and fuss-free design concept of the series. 


This photo shows how OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G will help users take clear videos even at night thanks to an AI-Highlight-Video feature.


If insider sources are to be believed, the quad-camera package will comprise a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP wide-angle macro camera, a 2MP Portrait Mono camera, and a 2MP Macro Mono camera. If insider sources are to be believed, the quad-camera package will comprise a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP wide-angle macro camera, a 2MP Portrait Mono camera, and a 2MP Macro Mono camera.

This camera smartphone is going to be ideal for videography. You can expect to make the most of the large 1/2inch 48MP sensor, coupled with OPPO’s proprietary Ultra Night Video algorithm. This algorithm is capable of improving night-time video performance by detecting and automatically applying night-time graphics algorithms. If this turns out to be true, you will get brighter videos during the night with a better dynamic range and richer colours.

This is expected to be further complemented by the HDR video technology, which comes in very handy to capture overexposed or dimly-lit situations. Additionally, we might also get the Focus Lock feature to track any subject in focus, even if it is in motion. The market is rife with speculations that the camera will also offer other attractive features such as Dual View Video, AI Scene Enhancement 2.0, Dynamic Bokeh, and so on.

Minimalist design that attracts attention

The OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G is expected to flaunt a 6.43-inch Super AMOLED type display with an aspect ratio of 20:9 and a screen resolution of 1080x2400 pixels. Likely to exhibit a bezel-less display, the phone, I believe, will strike a chord with new-age smartphone buyers, thanks to its minimalistic, sleek design.

If the brand manages to pack in such premium features on this phone, I think it will be commendable, given that the pocket pinch is not too high. Going by the buzz in the market, it will get many takers who don’t want to overspend, and yet expect a fairly feature-rich phone. Personally speaking, I’m eagerly awaiting the launch of this smartphone and see how it fares in the Indian market!
