Kuala Lumpur (7 July 2015) — OPPO launched two of its long-awaited R7 series, namely the OPPO R7 Plus and OPPO R7 Lite. William Fang, Chief-Executive-Officer of OPPO Malaysia and Katrina Li, Overseas Brand Director of OPPO launched the smartphones, which are set to hit Malaysian shores sometime in August 2015.
Known for its unique designs and cutting-edge features, the OPPO R7 Series is inspired by the design of a violin. Boasting a 2.5D Arc Edge display with a subtle curve on the edge of the screen for both models, the design aims to provide a more comfortable grip while giving it an artistic appearance.
“We listen to our customers’ needs and requirements in a smartphone hence developed the two OPPO R7 series variants to meet various market demands. Our intense research and development, along with consistent innovation in creating a user-friendly and advanced smartphone technology will create seamless experiences for our users,” said William.
He added that since OPPO’s debut in Malaysia last year, the company managed to secure over 10% of market share, making the brand one-of-the top three smartphone brands in the country.
