OPPO’s Journey To Their 18 Years Anniversary
As a company, it was officially launched in the year 2004. But they launched their first ever product in 2005, which was not a smartphone. The first device they ever launched was an Mp3 player. They called it ‘OPPO X3’. OPPO focused on the X3 from 2005 to 2008 before shifting their attention to their first ever mobile phone.
In 2008, they released their first ever mobile phone. It was a feature phone and they called it OPPO A103. Also known as the Smiley Phone. They called it this name because of a Smiley Emoji behind it.
Then came 2011, the year in which OPPO launched their first ever smartphone. This smartphone was named OPPO A903. A sliding touch screen device with a physical keyboard beneath it.
OPPO Flagship Phones Were Born
OPPO then started going flagship by introducing the ‘Find’ series in 2018 upwards. 2021 saw them introduce their first ever Foldable Smartphone, the OPPO Find N. Finally, came 2022 when they unveiled their current flagship. That being the OPPO Find X5 series.
These are not the only phones and devices that OPPO has come up with. They have different consumer electronics out there. But we had to list a few to highlight how they have traveled through these number of years.
