May 18, 2020, SHENZHEN, CHINA / LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - OPPO
and Vodafone today announced a comprehensive partnership agreement
that will bring a broad range of OPPO's smartphones to Vodafone's
European markets starting from May 2020.
As a leading smartphone brand with an innovative product
portfolio, advanced 5G technology know-how, and annual handset
shipments of more than 100 million, OPPO is a natural partner for
Vodafone's leading gigabit network. The collaboration between the
two companies will give consumers more choice and accelerate 5G
adoption across Vodafone's international markets.
OPPO's broad range of products will be made available across
Vodafone's retail and online channels, spanning value-for-money
handsets to industry-leading 5G flagship smartphones including the
OPPO A series, Reno series and Find X series.
In the first phase of cooperation, Vodafone will introduce OPPO
products across retail channels in Germany, United Kingdom, Spain,
Portugal, Romania, Turkey and the Netherlands. The two companies
will jointly develop their global partnership, working together to
expand the future availability of the OPPO range across Vodafone's
markets
Alen Wu, Vice President and President of Global Sales, OPPO
said: "OPPO is confident that our industry-leading products and
technologies will enable Vodafone to win new opportunities in the
5G era. Vodafone's vision that 'we connect for a better future'
aligns with OPPO's value of 'Benfen' - to do the right thing and
provide real value to customers. OPPO looks forward to solidifying
a long-term win-win relationship with Vodafone to create a better
future for our customers in the 5G era."
Ahmed Essam, Vodafone Group Chief Commercial Operations and
Strategy Officer, said: "The combination of OPPO's state-of-the-art
devices and Vodafone's leading network will give our customers
greater choice with the full potential of 5G. Vodafone's
partnership with OPPO brings together their attractive product
portfolio with our growing strength in 5G to our markets across
Europe and beyond."
OPPO predominantly manufactures its products in-house and most
of its manufacturing facilities have resumed normal operation,
ensuring that even during the Coronavirus outbreak period, OPPO can
continue to provide products to Vodafone and ensure business
continuity. While physical retail is currently constrained, both
companies will develop online sales channels and ensure continued
support for customers. OPPO will also closely work with Vodafone to
ensure the continued safety of employees and customers as
restrictions at retail are lifted.
OPPO's series of products will be rolled out from May through
Vodafone in Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Romania,
Turkey and the Netherlands. Further announcements will be made by
OPPO and Vodafone about product availability in other
countries.
