Here, the device is might be using Nokia’s OZO Audio Focus technology.

While there is no word of OZO branding in the device listing on the OPPO’s official website, Nokia’s latest earnings report clearly mentioned these smartphones to use the OZO audio technology. The OPPO Reno smartphones with three microphones to support this technology. According to Nokia, it requires at least 2 mics for spatial capture and 4 mics for full 360-degree spatial audio capture. Even the flagship Nokia smartphones from HMD Global also feature the proprietary 3D spatial audio recording technology.

Recently, HMD Global also started offering the OZO Audio even on the budget smartphones like 2019 Nokia 6 (a.k.a Nokia 6.1) which sport dual microphones.
