SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach [2] – 8 April 2022 – O Relax, an app
offered for free along with ColorOS 12.1 on the latest launched flagship
OPPO Find X5 series, offers a peaceful sanctuary on mobile phone — a
private meditation space where users can take time out to enjoy relaxing
sounds and relieve stress.
The power of sound
There have been various studies that indicate sound is intrinsically
linked to people’s emotional wellbeing and can have a big impact on
releasing stress [3]. As an industry leader in sound technology, with a
rich history in audio production, OPPO knows the impact that sound can
have on users’ feelings and emotions, ever since it released its first
MP3 player in 2005. That’s what makes O Relax such an important feature,
and why it’s been built into ColorOS 12.1 in Find X5 series.
Through a combination of audio-visual-haptic feedback, O Relax provides
users with multi-sensory experience. This not only deepens the
connection to the audio they are hearing, but also offers things to see,
touch and feel, across all features of the app.
Explore the city through sound
One of O Relax’s key features is Sounds of the City, which offers users
something that can’t be found in any other app. So far, O Relax has
recorded sound samples of the day-to-day occurrences in six iconic
cities around the world. Whether it’s the sound of busy markets in
Bangkok or the breeze through the trees in Reykjavik, O Relax transports
its users to the heart of these cities with their own unique soundscape.
OPPO has also encouraged its users to share the sounds that reflect
their memories or favourite things about their city, to create
user-inspired soundtracks. The first of these was Chengdu in China.
Not just that, but with a digital map on screen that helps users to
visualise exactly where the sounds were captured, Sound of the City
helps users to deepen their connection and experience with the city
while listening to the sound.
Through a combination of sound, vision and innovation, Sounds of the
City aims to take people away from their current moment, and to feel
reinvigorated through the realm of discovery and exploration.
Personalized sound experience
Alongside Sounds of the City, O Relax also offers a variety of
comforting music tracks, and the sounds of white noise in nature, such
as the sound of rain or waves, to help deliver those moments of calm.
All of O Relax’s sounds and soundtracks are chosen and produced by
OPPO’s master tuner, who conducts experiments on the different
combinations of tone, rhythm and audible frequencies to find the perfect
balance. Additionally, O Relax offers multi-track mixing to create the
perfect personalized sound experience for its users.
This extensive ability for customisation and personalisation is
reflected in the design philosophy of ColorOS, which places a huge
emphasis on the importance of the user experience and personalising
their experience when using the phone.
Experience a deeper connection
Through the combination of audio and haptic feedback, O Relax’s deep
breathing exercises and relaxation games are designed for users to feel
calm. With the strongest haptic motor available on an Android device
today, Find X5 Pro provides with a better O Relax user experience than
ever before, generating natural, crisp and quiet feedback with every
touch and delivering a further dimension to the audio and visual
experience.
However, O Relax doesn’t stop there. With precise placement and movement
of individual sounds, the addition of Dolby Atmos panoramic audio helps
to place a listener at the heart of the sound for an even more powerful
and moving experience, offering breathtaking sound quality, with
impressive clarity, richness and detail like no other.
With O Relax, OPPO brings together this human-centric approach with its
passion for audio to create an experience that brings a much-needed
moment of calm back to busy lives.
