Products

Phones

OPPO entered the mobile phone market in 2008.[4][5]

The OPPO Find 7 is a phablet with a total of 3GB of RAM and a 2.5 GHz Quad-Core processor.[6] The OPPO Find 7 is also available in another variant called the Find 7a, which has a 1080p screen and 2GB of RAM compared to the Find 7, which sports higher specs. It was announced in 19 March 2014 and was released in April 2014. It is similar in design to the OnePlus One released in April 2014.

In September 2013, OPPO announced the N1. A successor, the OPPO N3, is priced at $649 as of late 2014.[7]

The OPPO R5, to be available in November 2014, was described as the world's thinnest smartphone by OPPO's PR.[8] It is 4.85mm in thickness except for a slight bulge where the camera lens is located. But it is no longer the record holder for the slimmest smartphone as it is now claimed by Vivo X5 Max (4.75mm).[9] The R5 has a 2,000 mAh battery which can be charged up to 75% in 30 minutes using OPPO's own VOOC Flash Charging technology.[10] The R5 uses a SnapDragon 615 octa-core processor, running at 2.1 GHz.[7][11] OPPO starts first shipping the R5 on February 20, 2015.[12] One of OPPO's older phones, the Finder, previously held the record for the world's thinnest smartphone[citation needed].

Other smartphones OPPO produced are the U705T Ulike 2, U701 Ulike, R610, R811 Real, R817 Real, R819 / R819T and the T29.

The OPPO Find 5 was released in America in February 2013, the OPPO Find 5 features clean lines, thin rectangular shape, and overall elegant appearance.[15] The OPPO Find 5 features a pixel density of 441 ppi, which puts it in the highest range of the mobile phones with HD display at its release time. In July 2013, a refreshed OPPO Find 5 launched in China. The processor has been changed to Snapdragon 600 instead of the Snapdragon S4 Pro. The Android version has been updated to Android 4.2.2 as well while other specifications remained the same.[16]

On 23 September 2013, OPPO announced the N1, which has a 5.9″ 1080p display (373 ppi), 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 3,610mAh battery, 16GB or 32GB of storage, 2GB RAM, and a 13MP camera that can rotate, touch-panel on the back, and option to flash CyanogenMod.[17] It was released in December 2013.

Blu-ray players

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Its first universal Blu-ray Disc player was the BDP-83.[18][19][20][21]

The BDP-93 was released in 2010, featuring 3D compatibility and dual HDMI signal output. This was followed by the BDP-95 whose video performance is identical in all respects with the BDP-93, but with an improved analogue audio output section.[22] The BDP-103 and BDP-105 models were released near the end of 2012, featuring dual HDMI signal input in addition of dual HDMI signal output. The BDP-103D was released in October 2013. This new model is the first Blu-ray player worldwide featuring Darbee Visual Presence technology.

Headphones & 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-2 is "near to perfect".[23] The company has since released other products.

Also released in 2015 was the HA-2, a portable version of the HA-1 amp/DAC which features a battery pack option as well as a stitched leather casing. The phone plays music in real-time to the HA-2 (via included Android or iOS micro USB cable, or USB cable if from PC). It also can be charged using an included "rapid charger" charging kit. Its battery pack feature can be used simultaneously while the HA-2 is used to play music if the playing (source) device is an Apple iOS device, though for those using an Android or Windows phone, it's only either/or.

Popular 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.[24] In June 2015, the company signed an agreement with FC Barcelona to become an official partner of the Spanish football club.[25][26]

Also in 2015, OPPO hired Yang Mi and Luhan as the product ambassador in China. [27]
