Oppo uses record-breaking UEFA Champions League final to flex AI and camera muscle
The UEFA Champions League Final ended on Saturday with a dominating 5-0 win for PSG over Inter - a record victory in the competition's finals. The match took place in Munich, and since Oppo is one of the competition's main sponsors it took to the packed 75,000 arena to promote its latest smartphones and tech.

The Official Smartphone Partner, as Oppo is called in this relationship, had demo booths for AI selfies and held a charity football game with football legends Kaka, Cafu, and Micah Richards.

The company also flexed the camera muscle of its Oppo Find X8 Pro at the final. Yes, the Find X8 Ultra is the series' flagship, but only the Pro is available in Europe, so understandably, Oppo focused on the Dimensity 9400-powered device instead.
There was also a big focus on the Oppo AI features. The company set up multiple booths and experience zones where fans could take AI-powered photos with Kaka and Yamine Lamal, both company brand ambassadors. Some fans were also in for a treat, with a surprise appearance from Marco Materazzi, Inter legend and Champions League winner in 2010.

Apple could drop features like AirDrop in the EU
Apple was hit with a €500 million fine by the European Commission (EC) back in April over breaches to the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Cupertino has since appealed the decision. John Gruber from Daring Fireball shared Apple's full official statement, which could signal a potential turning point for Apple users in the EU. At Apple, we design our technology to work seamlessly together, so it can deliver the unique experience our users love and expect from our products. The EU's interoperability requirements threaten that foundation, while creating a process that is unreasonable, costly, and stifles innovation. These requirements will also hand data-hungry companies sensitive information, which poses massive privacy and security risks to our EU users. Companies have already requested our users' most sensitive data — from the content of their notifications, to a full history of every stored WiFi network on their device — giving them the ability to access personal information that even Apple doesn't see. In the end, these deeply flawed rules that only target Apple — and no other company — will severely limit our ability to deliver innovative products and features to Europe, leading to an inferior user experience for our European customers. We are appealing these decisions on their behalf, and in order to preserve the high-quality experience our European customers expect. The last paragraph in particular is the one with the most significance for Apple users in the EU. The fact that Apple may 'severely limit its ability to deliver innovative products and features to Europe' which would lead to 'an inferior user experience for our European customers' could be interpreted in several ways. For one, Apple could simply comply with the EC's interoperability requirements, which include granting full access to iOS notifications, background execution privileges and system feature access to third-party competitors. Apple would also have to allow AirDrop to be replaced as the default wireless file sharing utility on Apple devices. This approach would naturally raise privacy concerns as third parties would be granted system-level privileges, which goes against Apple's ethos. According to Jon Gruber, a more realistic scenario would see Apple dropping AirDrop support for its users in the EU. He also goes on to mention that Apple could stop offering its Apple Watch and AirPods in EU markets due to the EU's interoperability demands. This situation seems less likely as wearables are a big profit maker for Cupertino. As it stands, we'll just have to wait and see how this legal battle unfolds. Source

International Oppo Reno14 Pro shows up on Geekbench
Oppo launched the Reno14 and Reno14 Pro in China in mid-May, and the devices are soon headed for a global launch - this has been indirectly revealed by the company itself last month when it advertised their integration with Google's Gemini AI. Now, the global Reno14 Pro has been spotted in the Geekbench database, with the model number CPH2739. This model number confirms the fact that it's not the Chinese variant - in Oppo's naming scheme, the international devices always start with "CPH" while the Chinese ones don't. Oppo Reno 14 Pro CPH2739 Global/Indian variant runs on geekbench with MediaTek Dimensity 8450 Chipset. Specifications 🔳 MediaTek Dimensity 8450 1 Core @ 3.25 GHz Cortex A725 3 Cores @ 3.00 GHz Cortex A725 4 Cores @ 2.10 GHz Cortex A725 🎮 Mali-G720 MC7 GPU 🍭 Android 15 - 12GB… — Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) June 3, 2025 The Reno14 Pro that ran Geekbench is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 8450 SoC, just like its Chinese counterpart, which is good to see because sometimes Chinese companies like Oppo downgrade the chipset for their global models. Not in this case, however. The phone has 12GB of RAM, but of course more options could be offered here. It runs Android 15, which is most likely the version of the OS it will launch with, even though its timing could be better - Google plans to release Android 16 this month and the international Renos are now said to be coming in July. Hopefully Oppo can be quick about updating them to Android 16 once they're out. If the global Reno14 Pro turns out to be identical to its Chinese relative, then it will come with a 6.83-inch 1272x2800 AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and 1,200-nit peak brightness, 256GB/512GB/1TB of storage, a triple rear camera system (50 MP main with OIS, 50 MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom and OIS, 50 MP ultrawide with 116-degree field-of-view), a 50 MP selfie camera, and a 6,200 mAh battery with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Our Honor 400 Pro battery life and charging speed test results are out
We've finished testing the battery life endurance and charging speed of the Honor 400 Pro. Honor 400 Pro 5G The phone packs a 5,300mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. That's 100mAh more than the Honor 200 Pro, but also 700 mAh less than the version sold outside Europe. The wired charging speed is the same, however, the wireless speed is reduced from 66W. The Honor 400 Pro achieved a better Active Use score compared to its predecessor, close to 3 hours more overall. The 400 Pro outdid the 200 Pro in all categories, with around 8 hours more in calling, nearly 4 hours more in the browsing test, around 3 and a half hours more in video playback, and nearly 40 minutes of gaming more. Measuring the Honor 400 Pro against some of its peers outside of Honor's lineup, and it's a solid performer, however far from the best, which is the Xiaomi 15. bigpic/ data-battery2=35:50_13:00_16:27_7:59> Moving on to charging performance, the Honor 400 Pro is a standout phone. It kept the second place in all three of our tests - the 15-minute test, the 30-minute one, and the time to full charge, which took just 38 minutes in total. You'll get from empty to 53% in a quarter of an hour, and up to 93% at the half-hour mark. The Xiaomi 14T Pro was the only phone here to outdo the Honor 400 Pro, thanks to its 120W HyperCharge tech.
