OPPO is one of the most popular and innovative smartphone markers in the world. Starting its operations in China, the company has now expanded to more countries and regions. Lately, the company has been partnering with carriers around the globe to penetrate into new markets. Yesterday, the firm announced a new strategic partnership with Latin America’s América Móvil.

With this new alliance, OPPO handsets will be made available in Mexico and other Latin American (LATAM) markets through Telcel and Claro, the subsidiaries of América Móvil. The Chinese smartphone maker considers these markets to be of greater importance in its global market development.

For those unaware, Samsung and Motorola rule the smartphone market in these regions. Chinese companies like Xiaomi and Huawei lag behind these companies though they are stronger in other markets like India and Europe.

With Huawei losing grounds due to the US ban, OPPO has a great opportunity to snatch its share not only in LATAM but also in Europe and other regions as well. But the competition is stiff from the likes of Xiaomi and other BBK brands – realme, vivo, and OnePlus.

OPPO says that it has partnered with over 80 carriers around the world. With these cooperations, it has managed to enter markets like Europe and Japan. The company plans to form more carrier partnerships in the next 1-2 years to reach more consumers.

The Moto G7 series is scheduled to launch on February 7 in Brazil. At the moment, there is practically nothing that we do not know about the specs of the phones which includes the Moto G7, the Moto G7 Play, Moto G7 Power and the Moto G7 Plus.

Ahead of the launch, prices of the phones in Brazil, except for the Moto G7 itself, have leaked and all we can say is they are ridiculously expensive.

The prices are from network operator Claro, so they are pretty genuine. The Moto G7 Play is priced at BRL 999 (~$271) and that gets you a phone with a 5.7” HD+ display, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear camera, an 8MP camera, and a 3,000mAh battery.

The Moto G7 Power which packs a larger 6.2-inch HD+ display, a larger 5,000mAh battery and 3GB of RAM is priced at BRL 1,299 (~$352). The Moto G7 Plus which is the top of the line is priced at BRL 1,899 (~$515). This gets you a 6.2” FHD+ screen with a waterdrop notch, 4GB of RAM and support for 27W fast-charging.

These are pretty expensive for mid-range phones and when you compare them to the leaked prices for Europe, you know the high price tags are limited to Brazil. Probably as a result of really high import taxes.
