OPPO and Manus announce a new AI agent for the Find X10 series
OPPO and Manus have announced a new AI agent for the Find X10 series, according to Gizchina. The move shows agentic AI sinking further into the phone itself, with vendors treating agents as part of flagship differentiation.
OPPO and Manus have announced a new AI agent for the Find X10 series, according to Gizchina.
The two parties play different roles: OPPO is a high-volume smartphone maker, while Manus is known for its AI agent products. Together they point to agentic AI built directly into the phone.
The phone is the most widely distributed personal computing device. Running an agent at the system level could shift the user's entry point away from individual apps toward an assistant that acts across them.
For OPPO, an AI agent is becoming part of high-end differentiation; for Manus, tying up with a hardware maker is a route to moving agent capability out of the browser and cloud and onto everyday devices.
The report does not detail the agent's specific capabilities, availability timeline or which models will carry it, so what is confirmed is a joint announcement for the Find X10 series.
What to watch: how the agent accesses phone permissions and data, which apps it connects to, and whether phone maker plus agent company pairings become a standard industry arrangement.
Why it matters
The tie-up shows phone makers treating AI agents as a standard feature for flagship devices. If the agent can act across apps, the phone could become the most mainstream entry point for agentic AI.
