Sensing a big oppo-rtunity for growth, Chinese manufacturer Oppo has today officially launched its first lineup of smartphones for the western market in Australia.
Initially available through their own online store, the company is launching four handsets from today, including the Find 7, the N1 mini, the Find 7a and the Neo 5.
Unlike the recent launch of the ZTE brand into the Australian marketplace though, Oppo is focussing the bulk of its lineup on the mid to high end, with three of the four handsets costing more than $500.
