OPPO did reveal that it aspires to become the first Chinese OEM to release a 5G phone. Although Xiaomi has launched the Mi Mix 3 5G, the phone is yet to go on sale. So OPPO may well become the first to sell its 5G phone in China. There is no date for the launch yet but OPPO has just announced that its first 5G smartphone has passed the 5G CE test of the international testing service agency, Sporton International Inc. Sporton is a Taiwan-based company principally engaged in the provision of testing and certification services for wireless communications and mobile communications products. The device also obtained the 5G CE certificate issued by German agency CTC advanced.
OPPO’s first CTC-certified 5G mobile phone has the advantages of multi-frequency, multi-mode and multi-combination. The phone equally supports more combinations such as 5G n78 frequency band, wider frequency band, and can completely cover 2G, 3G, 4G networks, and is suitable for a wider range of countries and regions. The acquisition of the CE certification means that the OPPO 5G mobile phone has fully met the standards set by the European Union (EU) including wireless, security, electromagnetic compatibility, health, etc. That means the phone has met the necessary conditions for entering the European market. Thus, OPPO can conveniently commercialize the product when it is launched in Europe.

According to OPPO’s vice president and overseas business unit head, Wu Qian, the company is fully prepared for the early realization of 5G mobile phone commercialization. OPPO had begun its 5G research and development as far back as three years ago, in close cooperation with Qualcomm. The company’s CEO Tony Chen had disclosed that the BBK subsidiary isn’t likely going to be the first to adopt the 5G network standard but will be among the first two phone makers to manufacture 5G products. The upcoming OPPO Reno scheduled to launch in April this year is speculated to likely have a 5G version.
