Often, the latest OPPO phone is a preview of things to come from its sister company here in the States. That’s what makes the OPPO Find X8 Pro very compelling.

That’s where the FlowBeams BoldJet comes in; it channels Star Trek with its new needle-free injection device. If you’re wondering how a needle-free injection works, the answer is lasers.
