Telecell Pvt. Ltd., who has been appointed as the national distributor of Oppo Smartphones, has officially launched Oppo smartphones in Nepal on Sept. 12, 2016. The company invited journalists to an event in Kathmandu on Sept. 12. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo serves 42 countries and regions and has launched three products here in Nepal — OPPO F1s, OPPO A37, and OPPO Neo 7.

Oppo smartphones are basically camera focused and come with a bunch of camera features so they brand themselves as “Oppo Camera Phones.” They have entered the Indian market recently and have been doing enormous advertisements for establishing their brand, so it was just a matter of time before they start doing a major marketing campaign in the Nepali market. Oppo has been analyzing the Nepali market for the past few days and was spotted analyzing New Road.

It is great to see major international brands enter the Nepali market. This way customers will have more choices while purchasing and if the competition gets tough, we might see phones at very competitive prices as well.
