Best OPPO smartphones of 2020

OPPO is one of the five largest mobile phone manufacturers from China, and also ranks eighth in terms of the number of devices sold worldwide. The brand's products covered more than twenty countries, including the United States of America, Great Britain, India, Vietnam and many others. OPPO is a subsidiary of the largest concern BBC Electronics.

OPPO history

The company's birthday falls on 2001, when this trademark was registered. The full-fledged production of goods began a little later - in 2004.

The company is geographically located in Dongguan, China. It is there that 20,000 workers work tirelessly for the benefit of the OPPO factory under the supervision of 1,400 engineers and are making great strides as they produce over four million devices every month!

The corporation's success did not start with mobile phones - the company began with the production of DVD players and Blu Ray players at its California headquarters. Having established itself well in this segment and subsequently starting to produce smartphones, the brand has gained a foothold in the market and has earned positive reviews from US citizens.

By focusing on quality and memorable design, the company has been able to successfully market its product both in China and abroad. The first MP3 players released looked really expensive and sounded like that.

The model with which the brand broke into the mobile market in 2008 was called the A103. It was a simple push-button monoblock.

But in 2011 there was a breakthrough - the first FIND X903 smartphone was released, running the Android operating system. It looked very stylish, like a very cool "slider" with a sliding QWERTY keyboard, which was in great demand at that time. The phone had a three-inch display and 512 MB of RAM. Now such indicators bring a smile, but in 2011 it was great. Leonardo DiCaprio even starred in a smartphone advertisement, which undoubtedly contributed to the growth in sales.

The company from China does not skimp on advertising and makes great efforts to promote its name - it sponsors television programs in Asia, and in India, as a sponsor, participates in the cricket championship. Since 2015 OPPO has been the official partner of FC Barcelona, ​​one of the world's most powerful football clubs.

By comparison - only for the Indian market, more than $ 90 million a year is allocated for marketing and advertising by the brand. These costs pay off in full - in 2015, more than 50 million gadgets were sold, and sales results in India increased by 300%. Worldwide sales increased by 70%.

In 2013, the One Plus brand appeared, the creator of which was Pete Lau. Previously, Lau was vice president of OPPO. If you look closely, you can see that both brands have a lot in common, so you can safely call One Plus a sub-brand of OPPO.

The brand is famous not only for advertising. Thanks to the professionalism of engineers and device designers, the company manages to produce stylish products with impressive performance.
For example, the F5 was the first to get Full HD resolution on its five-inch screen, and the F7 acquired the ability to take 50 megapixel photos.

The original built-in shell Color OS makes OPPO phones different from competitors. It works on the basis of the Android operating system. In terms of interface and functions, it resembles MIUI, like Xiaomi. The user will appreciate gesture control, advanced security settings, personal cloud service, as well as simple and easy-to-use functionality.

The F7 even features fast charging, which can fill the battery from 0 to 75% in 30 minutes. In the upcoming devices, the manufacturer promises that it will be possible to charge a 2500mAh battery in 20 minutes, using the new Super Vooc technology, which will appear in the F9.

Average price for OPPO smartphones

The cost of the devices is a bit unusual for mobile phones from China. It is justified only by a good assembly, powerful "filling" and a memorable design.

The price range of devices starts at 12,990 thousand rubles. Yes, not the cheapest phone, but a high-quality item will quickly recoup its cost. The most expensive model will cost 29,990 rubles. High quality devices can also be purchased for 15-17 thousand rubles.

In 2020, the lineup can be divided into three groups:

• Series F - Selfie Expert. Smartphones are designed for the highest quality “selfie” photos (from 16,000 to 22,990 rubles);
• Series A - affordable "camera phones" (starting at 12,990 rubles);
• Series R - flagships (price from 29,990 rubles).

The easiest way to find out the exact price for the model you are interested in will be by contacting the Yandex.Market service - in one place you will find offers from all stores in your city and not only. There is an opportunity to make a purchase with delivery from nearby cities and regions.

If you want to buy in stores, then it is better to first familiarize yourself with the reviews of people who have already bought there. If the cost differs, the difference will not be too significant.

It is better to make serious purchases in well-known and proven places, since in the pursuit of cheapness you can run into goods of dubious quality, and instead of enjoying the purchase, then run around the service centers, fixing problems with breakdowns and spoiling your mood.
