Oppo is one of the top five in the ranking of quality smartphones. The gadgets of this brand cannot be called budget, but each of them has unique technologies, an attractive interface and advanced security features.

Based on this, interest in the new product of December, already last year, is at a high level, and we are talking about the Oppo Reno 3 Pro. Manufacturers gave fans of the brand a device with a large screen, powerful hardware and a capacious battery. But let's start in order.

Brand

OPPO Electronics Corporation is a division of China's largest home appliance manufacturer BBK Electronics LTD. The brand specializes in the production of household or consumer, as you like, premium appliances.

Given the connection with BBK, it can be figuratively called the year of the brand's creation 1995, but the trademark registration for the OPPO brand was in 2001. The official date of foundation is the date of commencement of work - 2004.

At the time of its formation, the company was engaged in the creation of MP3 and MP4 players, which were successful both domestically and abroad. The company started manufacturing communicators in 2008 and released its first push-button phone.

It should be noted that OPPO is serious about promoting its products, sparing neither money nor time. To this end, the company sponsors the T20 Cricket Champions League in India, various shows in Asia, and in 2015 became a sponsor of the Spanish football team Barcelona. It is also not uncommon to see faces of famous people in product advertisements, for example, the Find X903 model was presented by Leonardo DiCaprio himself.

In 2013, OPPO created its own subsidiary called OnePlus, which manufactures and distributes smartphones mainly through online sales. The popularity of OPPO models did not decrease from this.

Also in 2013, the company entered the Russian market and already in 2014 opened an official representative office in the Russian Federation, according to some sources, after 6 months it was closed due to low sales. However, in 2017 the brand returned to Russia again.

OPPO has become one of the best manufacturers of Chinese flagships, which has entered the market of countries such as Mexico, the United States, Egypt, Australia, England, Russia, etc.

The brand can provide a list of its popular models, both the thinnest in the world and the model with a unique design and case material. Do not forget about the proprietary firmware - ColorOS based on Android.

There are several lines of smartphones from OPPO:

• line A - budget devices with a nice design, good screen and performance;
• the F line is no longer a budget, but also not a flagship option, where the emphasis is on the quality of the photo of the main and front cameras;
• the R / Reno line - flagships that can win the hearts of everyone, including at a considerable price, but lovers of voracious games or powerful applications are better off choosing a model from other lines;
• Find X line - creative gadgets with advanced technologies.

We briefly outlined the OPPO company, and now it's time to move on to its next new product.
