Global electronics and technology service provider Oppo is in talks with the country’s two mobile phone providers to distribute its new smartphone.
“Our sales team is still in discussion with the two telcos. We are keeping our fingers crossed and hopefully we can sign a contract soon,” Garrick Hung, operations manager of Oppo said, referring to Globe Telecom Inc. and Smart Communications Inc.
Oppo Electronics Corp., a Chinese electronics manufacturer based in Dongguan, Guangdong province, recently launched its new smartphone called Mirror 5 with unique diamond-like mirrored surface.
Mirror 5 comes equipped with a 5-megapixel front camera with selfie features and an 8-MP rear camera, making for stunning selfies and landscape photos.
Mirror 5 offers 3G with super-high speeds, dual SIMs slots and SD card support up to 128GB, helping users balance their workload and personal needs.
“We at Oppo Philippines are very happy to finally launch the Oppo Mirror 5 in the Philippines,” James Ma of Oppo Philippines said.
“Filipino users demand nothing less than the best kind of mobile experience, and this is precisely what the Mirror 5 delivers — great performance combined with great aesthetics,” he said.
Hung said Oppo is targeting the 20 to 30 year age bracket for Mirror 5 smartphone, which is locally priced at P9,900.
“We are targeting them mainly on the fact that these are the people who are starting their career,” Hung said, adding that its sales in the Philippines are increasing since its launch last year.
“It’s a good sign for us. The people start to appreciate our brand,” he said.
“There’s a great potential here in terms of converting people from using standard cellular phone to using a smartphone,” Hung said.
Oppo tapped pop singer Sarah Geronimo as its local brand ambassador.
“I’m excited to work with Oppo. They’re the type of company I want to be with,” Geronimo said.
OPPO’s Ma said the company chose Geronimo as its first ambassador because she’s an ideal fit for OPPO.
“She brings an unmatched combination of freshness and elegance to the table and that’s what we want in an endorser,” Ma said.
OPPO delivers the latest and most exquisite mobile electronic devices in over 20 countries, including the United States, China, Australia and many countries throughout Europe, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
