Oppo conducts first 5G-based voice, video calls in partnership with Ericsson and MediaTek

Oppo on Wednesday announced that it had successfully conducted voice and video calls solely based on the next-generation 5G network.

The Chinese smartphone brand had partnered with electronics giant Ericsson and MediaTek for this initiative.

Oppo had successfully conducted VoNR (Voice/Video on New Radio) calls. VoNR is a basic call service that entirely relies on a 5G network. Compared with call services on regular networks, VoNR provides “significantly lower latency, greatly improved sound quality and picture quality,” Oppo said in an official statement.
