For most of us, everything we know about Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes from movies. Movies about humanoid robots who either help build a better society or destroy the world as we know it. In recent times, AI has been all over the news but not many people know how it actually works.

In simple terms, AI makes it possible for machines to learn from experience and perform human-like tasks. Most AI examples that you hear about today – from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars – are made possible by computers that are trained to accomplish specific tasks by processing large amounts of data and recognizing patterns in it.

AI hasn’t taken over the world (yet), but it seems to be gearing up to become a huge part of our lives. Look at any industry and you’ll see AI being used to achieve amazing things. Thanks to AI, we’ll soon have self-driving cars, robots that perform life-saving surgery, and some of the safest security surveillance systems ever made. But while all this is still on the horizon, there’s one surprising way AI is going to be part of your life right now. It’s going to make your selfies look perfect.

That’s right, AI is going to revolutionise the selfie game. Imagine you’re wearing your favourite outfit and feel like you’re looking great. So you whip out your phone to capture this moment forever in a perfect selfie. You smile, click and are totally disappointed to see that the selfie looks nowhere as awesome as you feel. Well, prepare to never ever feel like that ever again because OPPO’s new F5 phone is here to save the day and your selfies.

The OPPO F5 is the first phone to feature the all-new AI Beauty Recognition Technology that uses AI to scan over 200 recognition spots on your face to give you a flawless selfie. Every. Single. Time. It’s like having a personal photographer who knows how to make you look good 24/7.

According to OPPO, “the AI will recognize the subjects’ skin tone and type, gender and age, match them against its database and subsequently make beautification enhancements that are personalised.” F5’s mind-boggling 20 megapixel front camera focuses on and highlights facial features like eyes, nose, jawline and cheekbones in selfies. OPPO F5 also boasts of a fully immersive screen with minimal bezels, meaning not only does it take great selfies, they look even better on the F5 screen.

Given OPPO’s track record of giving us great features in each phone, we were expecting to be surprised but the F5 is just unbelievable.

Every selfie looks flawless, no matter what. We need to start a bad selfie challenge to see if it’s possible to take a horrible selfie with this phone (we don’t think it is). Seems like AI is taking over the world, one beautiful selfie at a time.
