OPPO is now 2nd bestselling smartphone brand in PH

Tweet

OPPO is now the second bestselling smartphone brand in the ASEAN’s fastest growing mobile market, the Philippines,  as reported by German-based market research organization GfK.

GfK’s latest survey showed that OPPO increased its market share from 3.2 percent in July 2015 to 8.6 percent in July 2016, more than double its share from last year. The smartphone brand also rose from third spot in June 2016 at 8.5 percent, to second last July.

“Our increasing shares show how we are able to capture what Filipinos want in a mobile device. We not only meet consumer demands for quality smartphones, but we also offer them at more affordable prices. This is an important factor that paved the way for our growth over the past year,” said Stephen Cheng, OPPO’s Brand Marketing Manager. 

OPPO attributed its rising popularity to its F1 series, whose selfie-enhancing features won over the Filipino’s fondness for taking pictures of themselves. The company introduced the F1 phone in February this year, followed by the F1 Plus in April.

Introduced only last August, the F1 series’ latest addition, the F1s, sold out three days after its launch in concept and dealer stores nationwide.

Because of the reception to the F1s, OPPO is optimistic that the company will eventually dominate the Philippine selfie market.

“OPPO will continue pursuing its growth in the market by indulging the Filipino fascination for taking selfies,” Cheng said.

Tweet

This is selfie craze at an all-time high!  OPPO’s latest camera phone sells out in concept and dealer stores nationwide in three days. 

Dubbed as the ‘selfie expert’, the F1s made its debut in Philippine stores on August 19. As of August 21, over 19,000 units were sold across the country. 

A road show was held simultaneously in Metro Manila, Davao, and Cebu to mark the smartphone’s first day in stores.

OPPO Marketing Brand Manager Stephen Cheng said that OPPO never expected that consumers would be this enthusiastic about the F1s.

"It's overwhelming to know that our first units sold out in three days,” said Cheng.

“We are excited to deliver more F1s units to stores, especially because we want more people to have the ultimate selfie experience,” added Cheng.

Amazing selfies anytime, anywhere

The latest addition to OPPO’s F1 series captures vibrant selfies at any time of the day, thanks to its 16-megapixel front-facing camera that has a 1/3.1-inch sensor and a large f/2.0 aperture. The latest iteration of its beautification app, Beautify 4.0, also comes with an Auto Mode Screen Flash and eight filters for amazing selfies just the way users want them to be.

The phone’s panorama feature also makes it more convenient to take ‘groufies’ while the palm-activated shutter allows for easier and faster selfies.

The F1s is further equipped with an equally powerful 13-megapixel rear camera that has its own plug-ins such as the upgraded Expert Mode, Ultra-HD, GIF, and double exposure.

Powerful, speedy, beautiful

Just like its predecessor, the F1 plus, the F1s uses fingerprint recognition that can unlock the phone in 0.22 seconds. The phone’s fingerprint-activated app launch assigns fingerprints to up to five apps or contacts for quick access through the home button.

An octa-core processor backed by a 3GB RAM, 32 GB ROM, and the ColorOS 3.0, adds power to the phone’s hardware. Thanks to the power optimizations of the ColorOS combined with a 3075mAh battery, users can hope to use the phone all day.

The sleek metal body of the F1s has a 5.5-inch 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 screen to create an exceptional gaming and movie experience for users.

Available at zero percent interest

Financial service provider Home Credit, OPPO’s longtime partner, is also offering the F1s at zero percent interest for six months. The promo kicked off on the first day of the F1s in stores.

The smartphone’s suggested retail price is PhP12, 990.

The selfie revolution steps up as mobile technology brand OPPO introduces its latest selfie expert: the OPPO F1s.

The latest camera phone from OPPO will be out in concept and dealer stores on August 19.

“With the launch of the F1s, OPPO once more demonstrates its commitment to create the best possible selfie and smartphone experience, ” said OPPO Philippines Brand Marketing Manager Stephen Cheng.

“When OPPO developed the F1s, what we had in mind are the things that people look for in smartphones: outstanding cameras, beautiful design, and powerful hardware and software. Thanks to the F1s, users can surely look forward to having a step up in their selfie game,” he added.

Pre-orders for the F1s are open until August 18.

Those who pre-order also have a chance to win a free second F1s.

Upon receiving the phone on August 19, customers must take a photo of themselves at the store holding a sign that says “I choose F1s.” The photo must be uploaded on Facebook with the hashtags #OPPOF1s and #SelfieExpert. Only ten lucky winners will be chosen for the free phone.

Selfie amazing

The latest addition to the OPPO F1 series features a 16-megapixel front camera with a 1/3.1-inch sensor and a large f/2.0 aperture. The camera captures vivid depth and detail for the perfect selfie.

The F1s is equipped with the latest iteration of the Beautify photo app which comes with a suite of functions such as an Auto Mode Screen Flash and eight filters. The selfie panorama makes it easier to take ‘groufies’ while the palm-activated shutter allows for easier and faster selfies.

The 13-megapixel rear camera captures equally clear and vivid shots. Like the front camera, the rear camera has its own plug-ins including the upgraded Expert Mode, Ultra-HD, GIF, and double exposure.

Power, security, beauty

Just like OPPO’s other camera phones, the F1s combines powerful hardware and software to create a selfie experience like no other.

Similar to the F1 plus, it has lightning-fast fingerprint recognition that unlocks the phone in 0.22 seconds. The fingerprint-activated app launch also assigns fingerprints to five different apps or contacts for quick access through the home button.

The F1s runs on an octa-core processor backed by a 3GB RAM, 32 GB ROM, and the ColorOS 3.0. The power optimizations of the ColorOS combined with a 3075mAh battery allows for all-day use of the phone.

The beauty of the F1s also makes it stand out at first glance. The sleek metal body has a 5.5-inch 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 screen that helps create an exceptional gaming and movie experience.

Zero percent interest

Consumer financial service Home Credit, one of OPPO’s partners, is also offering the F1s at zero percent interest for six months. Home Credit’s promo starts on August 19 once the F1s becomes available nationwide.

Suggested retail price is PhP12, 990.
