Oppo had previously announced that it intends to expand its product categories. In this case, the announcement of the AR glasses is not that big a surprise. However, there was some expectation that Oppo would focus on 5G technology. But VR and AR are some of the beneficiaries of the next-gen network standard, the company says

As fast and wide bandwidth rolls out, Oppo believes it would be easier for AR and VR headsets to communicate with connected devices, wirelessly.
