OPPO teams up with Amazon India to offer phones online

OPPO India today announced that the company’s entire range of smartphones, including the swivel-camera OPPO N1 and flagship Find 7 series would be available via Amazon India.

Consumer orientation features big on our philosophy. In today’s digital age, consumers are spending a lot of time online, out of which e-commerce grabs a big share. We want Indian consumers to be able to buy OPPO smartphones from every nook and corner of the country. And Amazon India will help us do just that. OPPO’s smartphones have been appreciated globally and we want to reach out to all those Indian customers who are in pursuit of higher quality products with true innovation.

– Tom Lu, CEO, OPPO India

The China based maker currently offers smartphones through offline channels in 12 Indian cities including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Pune, Chandigarh, Ludhiana and Hyderabad. A partnership with Amazon would mean that OPPO phones will be available virtually in every city in the country.

We are excited to be the partner of choice for OPPO Mobiles and offer our customers an opportunity to shop for OPPO’s smartphone range with ease on www.amazon.in. This is in line with our vision of offering customers in India a unique and wide selection of products on our platform and delighting them with a convenient, reliable and a globally trusted mobile shopping experience.

– Samir Kumar, Amazon India

Most newcomers in the Indian market have chosen to partner with existing e-commerce players in the past. As we’ve been reporting, even Xiaomi is set to team with Flipkart to offer its devices in the country, slated to begin tomorrow.
