History
The brand name OPPO was registered in
China in 2001 and launched in 2004.[1]
Since then, they have expanded to all parts
of the world.

In June 2016, OPPO became the biggest


smartphone manufacturer in China,[2]
selling its phones at more than 200,000
retail outlets.[3] OPPO was the top
smartphone brand in China in 2019 and
was ranked No. 5, in market share,
worldwide.[4]

Branding

OPPO logo used until March 19, 2019 in China and


August 2019 in other countries
Korean boy band 2PM prepared a song
known as "Follow Your Soul" in a
promotional deal with OPPO for launching
its brand in Thailand in 2010.[5] In June
2015, the company signed an agreement
with FC Barcelona to sponsor the Spanish
football club.[6][7][8]

In 2016, the Philippine Basketball


Association tied up with this company as
its official smartphone partner, beginning
with the 2016 PBA Commissioner's Cup
which began on 10 February.
OPPO hires celebrity endorsers in
Vietnam. Sơn Tùng M-TP endorsed three
smartphone units: Neo 5, Neo 7, and F1s.
OPPO made a sponsorship to one of
Vietnam's top-rated reality shows, The
Face Vietnam.

In 2017, OPPO won the bid to sponsor the


India national cricket team which allows
their logo to be used on the team's kits
from 2017 to 2022.

In 2019, OPPO became a sponsoring


partner of the French Open Grand Slam
tennis tournament held in Roland-Garros,
Paris. The same year, they also became a
sponsoring partner of The Wimbledon
Championships for 5 years as the first
official smartphone partner.[9]

Products

Phones …

Headphones and amplifiers …

In 2014, OPPO released a number of high


end headphones and amplifiers. The
flagship PM-1 and PM-2 headphones
along with the HA-1 desktop amplifier
have been heavily promoted in the audio
community. One blogger declares the PM-
1 is "near to perfect".[10]
Released in 2015, the HA-2, was a portable
version of the HA-1 amp/DAC which
featured a battery pack option as well as a
stitched leather casing. The phone played
music in real-time to the HA-2 (via the
included Android micro USB cable or iOS
lightning cable, or USB cable if from PC). It
also can be charged using an included
"rapid charger" charging kit. The battery
pack feature can only be used
simultaneously while the HA-2 is used to
play music if the playing (source) device is
an Apple iOS device. In October 2016 an
updated version was released with a new
DAC chip and now named HA-2SE.
Otherwise, it was the same as the HA-2.
Smartwatches …

Oppo launched its first smartwatch Oppo


Watch in 2020 in its home market in China.

Controversies
In March 2017, the company saw a protest
over an insult to the Indian national flag:
while on an inspection of the unit, Suhahu,
a Chinese and senior official of the
company, allegedly tore apart posters of
the flag and put them in the dustbin.[1] [2]
It was followed by a mass resignation of
the Punjab service unit.[11]
