Notably, the Oppo Carlink is an all scenario mobility solution that will be available for not just four wheel cars but even two wheeled vehicles like scooters. It will offer functions like digital car keys, vehicle management tools through a smartwatch, and even an in car smart screen solution as well.

The President further added that Carlink is a part of the brand’s efforts in the smart car segment, in which it aims on developing and even accelerating the arrival of automotive solutions. Henggang also said that the smartphone and car systems are two independent systems that usually have no means of interaction. But now, Oppo seeks to change this by partnering up with various brands in the automobile industry and have launched the Open Alliance for Intelligent Connected Vehicles to establish a unified industry standard. Other members include major names like Vivo, Xiaomi, SAIC, Changan Automobile, and Geely.
