OPPO has recently launched three new devices in India in the past three months, and has no intention of slowing down. The latest reveals include the mid-range OPPO K3, the flagship OPPO Reno and Reno 10x Zoom, and the budget-friendly OPPO A9. A fresh report by 91mobiles states that OPPO plans to launch 5 or 6 new smartphones in the Indian market by Diwali 2019. If the report is true, expect OPPO to reveal one new device every month till the end of October to early November, when Diwali festival is celebrated in India.
The publication claims that the information came from “industry sources”. The new smartphones are spread across every budget range and will cater to a wide audience. Smartphones sales in the Indian market boom during Diwali. It is hardly surprising that OPPO has seized the opportunity to promote their products according to the time frame.
The identity of the remaining smartphones are yet to be revealed. It is believed that they will fall under the OPPO A and K series. A high-end variant based on the Reno or last year’s flagship, OPPO Find X could also be in the pipeline. While it is also possible that OPPO might launch an entirely new lineup for India.
