OPPO is keen to get on board the 5G bandwagon this year. The company already has the OPPO Reno 5G model that comes with this new generation network support. But it looks like this list is going to expand very soon as OPPO is looking to add 5G to most of its upper mid-range and flagship smartphones in 2020.
OPPO’s 5G expert Shen Jia revealed recently in an event that OPPO will add support for 5G on all products priced above 3000 yuan ($421). He further adds that OPPO has prepared a budget of 10 Billion yuan for R&D, of which a big chunk will be invested in the development of 5G products. The company aims to explore the true potential of 5G by combining it with next-generation technologies and applying it in areas such as 5G HD video calls, cloud gaming, super-fast 5G downloads and so on.
This is actually not very surprising. 5G is extremely important for China and it is said that over 70% of the global 5G smartphone sales will come from the Chinese market. Every major manufacturer is looking to grab a piece of this emerging technology, and OPPO most likely wouldn’t want to fall behind. Even Vivo has several 5G smartphones in the market, right from the affordable iQOO Pro 5G to the high-end NEX 3 5G.
