Rating of the best OPPO smartphones in 2022

OPPO is one of the top five mobile phone manufacturers from China, and also ranks eighth in terms of the number of devices sold worldwide. The brand's products have covered more than twenty countries, including the United States of America, Great Britain, India, Vietnam and many others. OPPO is a subsidiary of the largest concern BBC Electronics.

History of OPPO

The company's birthday falls on 2001, when this trademark was registered. Full-fledged production of goods began a little later - in 2004.

Geographically, the company is located in Dongguan, China.It is there that 20,000 workers work tirelessly for the benefit of the OPPO factory under the supervision of 1,400 engineers and make great strides as they produce more than four million devices every month!

The success of the corporation did not begin with mobile phones - the company began with the production of DVD-players and Blu-ray players in the California headquarters. Having proven itself well in this segment and subsequently starting to produce smartphones, the brand has gained a foothold in the market and has earned positive reviews from US citizens.

By focusing on quality and memorable design, the company was able to successfully sell its product both in China and abroad. The first MP3 players released looked really expensive and sounded the same.

The model with which the brand broke into the mobile device market in 2008 was called A103. It was a simple monoblock with push-button control.

But in 2011 there was a breakthrough - the first FIND X903 smartphone was released, running the Android operating system. It looked very stylish, like quite a cool “slider”, with a sliding QWERTY keyboard, which was very much in demand at that time. The phone had a three-inch display and 512 MB of RAM. Now such indicators cause a smile, but in 2011 it was super. Leonardo DiCaprio even starred in advertising for the smartphone, which undoubtedly influenced the growth in sales.

The Chinese company does not skimp on advertising and makes great efforts to promote its name - it sponsors television programs in Asia, and in India, as a sponsor, participates in the cricket championship. Since 2015, OPPO has been an official partner of FC Barcelona, ​​one of the world's strongest football clubs.

In comparison, only for the Indian market, the brand allocates more than $ 90 million a year for marketing and advertising. These costs pay off in full - in 2015, more than 50 million gadgets were sold, and the results of sales in India increased by 300%. Global sales increased by 70%.

In 2013, the One Plus brand was born, created by Pete Lau. Previously, Lau served as vice president of OPPO. If you look closely, you can see that both brands have a lot in common, so you can safely call One Plus a sub-brand of OPPO.

Not only advertising a single famous brand. Thanks to the professionalism of engineers and device design specialists, the company manages to produce stylish products with impressive features.
For example, the F5 model was the first to get Full HD resolution on its five-inch screen, and the F7 acquired the ability to take 50 megapixel photos.

The original built-in Color OS shell also makes OPPO phones different from competitors. It works on the basis of the Android operating system. In terms of interface and functions, it resembles MIUI, like Xiaomi. The user will appreciate gesture control, advanced security settings, a personal cloud service, as well as simple and easy-to-manage functionality.

The F7 model even has a fast charge that can fill the battery from 0 to 75% in 30 minutes. In upcoming devices, the manufacturer promises that it will be possible to charge a 2500mAh battery in 20 minutes using the new Super Vooc technology that will appear in F9.

Average price for OPPO smartphones

The cost of devices is a little unusual for mobile phones from China. It justifies only a good assembly, a powerful "stuffing" and a memorable design.

The price range of devices starts from 12,990 thousand rubles. Yes, not the cheapest phone, but a quality thing will quickly pay for its cost. The most expensive model will cost 29,990 rubles. At a price of 15-17 thousand rubles, you can also buy high-quality devices.

In 2022, the lineup can be divided into three groups:

• Series F - "selfie expert". Smartphones are designed for the highest quality “selfie” photos (from 16,000 to 22,990 rubles);
• Series A - affordable "camera phones" (at a price of 12,990 rubles);
• Series R - flagships (price from 29,990 rubles).

The easiest way to find out the exact price for the model you are interested in is to contact the Yandex.Market service - in one place you will find offers from all the stores in your city and beyond. It is possible to make a purchase with delivery from nearby cities and regions.

If you want to buy in stores, then it is better to first read the reviews of people who have already bought there. If the cost differs, then the difference will not be too significant.

It is better to make serious purchases in well-known and trusted places, because in the pursuit of cheapness you can run into goods of dubious quality, and instead of enjoying the purchase, then run around service centers, troubleshooting breakdowns and spoiling your mood.

Now it's time to get acquainted with the heroes of today's rating - these are the most popular, according to consumers, seven smartphones from OPPO. Let's look at their characteristics, and find out the positive and negative sides.
