Oppo is one of the Chinese phone brands that is currently gaining traction in the West, thanks to its wide range of smartphones that are available at various price points to appeal to a wide range of buyers.
Sure, it doesn't compete with Chinese rivals like Samsung or Apple, or even Xiaomi and Huawei, but its popularity is on the rise, and we're going to see a lot more big things from the company in the years to come. expect.
This includes the Find flagship line, as well as the company's mid-range Reno and low-end A series.
If you like premium looking smartphones with excellent camera capabilities and cutting edge screen technology, then Oppo and its releases are worth keeping an eye on.
What's covered in this guide to help you learn more about the company, including the company's history, its phones, and what we can see from Oppo in the future.
Oppo started in 2004 with a focus on the audio device market. The company has forayed into the audio and home theater industry.
Oppo released its first mobile phone in 2008, which was a unique device due to the smiley face on the back. In 2011, the company introduced its first smartphone.
Since then, the brand has grown significantly, with products now being sold in more than 40 countries around the world.
Oppo, like Realme, OnePlus and Vivo, is a subsidiary of BBK Electronics, and we often see Oppo products that are similar to OnePlus, which means that the two companies collaborate on R&D or production. If you're still not convinced, compare the Oppo Find X2 Pro and OnePlus 8 Pro.
Some of BBK's other brands have distanced themselves from the group, such as Vivo, which has declared its independence.

Oppo sells the phone in most countries under three main lines; The company has a few more lines in other countries, but they are not widely available. Oppo X Nendo and Oppo X 2021 are two concept devices that we have seen from the company.
The Find line of premium smartphones sits at the top of the tree. The phones, which are available in Pro, Neo, and Lite versions, have top screen specs, are related to Sony camera sensors, and are often expensive. Lite models, on the other hand, are generally less expensive.
The Find N, the brand's first foldable phone, proves that X isn't the only letter Find uses.
The Reno 5 line is the newest addition to the mid-range Reno series of smartphones. These models come in three flavors: 'Standard,' 'Pro' and 'Z' ("Lite" in all names), and they have the same specs and features as the Find X line, but in a more affordable package.
Reno phones are either released in waves around the world, or they are released in one country and then sold elsewhere with somewhat different specifications. This can also be confusing as we have seen Reno phones rebranded as Find X devices and sold as mid-spec models in those lines.
Oppo A phones are the last option. These phones usually have bigger screens, bigger batteries, and are cheaper. The Oppo A has had some good phones and some bad ones, but if you're looking for a cheap and pleasant device, you can do worse.

Oppo devices are available in the United Kingdom, Europe (including Italy, France, and Germany), and Australia. However, it did not sell smartphones in the United States for some time, despite the fact that some of its early models were released there.
Oppo Find X phones are released on a yearly basis with debuts in March. This has happened in conjunction with the first MWC, the annual technology show.
Oppo Reno phones release twice a year on an average, but that's not a rule. Oppo Reno has gone through five generations since its launch in mid-2019. It is difficult to say when each new line will be released, especially since the company may release in different regions.
There is no set release schedule for Oppo's A-series handsets, though a new model is released every two months.

The company has also released a smartwatch, the Oppo Watch, till date, and we can expect to see more of these devices in the future.
