Kathmandu, September 11
World’s fourth largest smartphone-maker OPPO is all set to start selling its handsets in Nepal.
Phones made by the Chinese company will be available around the country from Tuesday, a day after it is formally launched here, said OPPO’s brand manager for Nepal Michael. OPPO is here to expand its market in Nepal, where smartphone users are growing at a rapid rate, he said.
OPPO shipped 22.6 million smartphones in the April-June quarter, a 136.6 percent increase from a year ago, data from research company International Data Corporation (IDC) shows.
Based on the latest IDC numbers, OPPO held a global market share of 6.6 percent at the end of the second quarter, making it the fourth-largest smartphone vendor in the world, ahead of famed brands Xiaomi, and Lenovo, which owns Motorola.
The company attributes its products’ quality, design, marketing strategy and price for its success in the global market.
OPPO comes to Nepal after making its presence felt in countries such as Indonesia and Bangladesh and India, where its F1s, A 37 and A 33 models have been popular.
