There is real competition in the smartphone industry, especially in China. In order to remain relevant, OEMs have to release a series of smartphones annually with different specs and features. Oppo is one of the top 5 smartphone manufacturers in China and it has been doing quite well in recent times. After the release of Oppo Reno, the company has said that it has another smartphone which will be launched in the first half of this year.
Oppo’s VP, Shen Yiren, said on his Weibo handle: “…we still have a mobile phone to be released in the first half of the year. When it is bought, it will be secretly cool.”
Gizchina News of the week
Shen Yiren did not disclose the specific details of this new smartphone and all he said is that “it will be secretly cool.” Whatever that means, this smartphone should follow the current trends in the smartphone industry. There are rumors that OPPO may launch an upgraded version of Find X. If this is the case, then there may be a new breakthrough in the design of this phone. Of course, the configuration and support for 5G network are under locks for now. Oppo Find X met with us in July last year. This smartphone has a Lamborghini special edition but it doesn’t have a successor. It is one of the earliest devices to come with the pop-up camera design, a periscope structure.
