Oppo is one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. Recently, it even surpassed Huawei as the largest smartphone brand in China. With its fantastic pace of growth, Oppo is expected to continue to put pressure on high-end phone makers like Apple and Samsung.
That is because Oppo’s smartphones have attractive, high-end features at a lower cost. With aggressive marketing and advertising, Oppo has hugely benefited from sales in Southeast Asia and India as well as in China. While you may not see high-range Oppo smartphones in Nepal, you have a variety of mid-range and budget-range smartphones to choose from.
Oppo has officially launched the mid-ranged Oppo F19 Pro in Nepal this week. Today, we will be talking about what the phone offers, its official price, key features and availability of this phone in Nepal.
