Following the launch of operations in Saudi Arabia last month, OPPO—a leading global smartphone brand—has now begun sales of several of its leading product series in the Kingdom, offering consumers a unique fusion of technology and artistry. OPPO has been working closely with national authorized distributor FMP to deliver OPPO products throughout the Kingdom.

 

Consumers in Saudi Arabia are now able to purchase four of OPPO’s signature smartphone offerings. These include its hero smartphones in Saudi Arabia—the R17 and R17 Pro—which are exclusively available in the Kingdom and not ranged anywhere else within the MENA region. Along with the OPPO R17 Series, the brand is also releasing its premium flagship the OPPO Find X, as well as the OPPO A3s model which brings a taste of flagship features to a mid-range price point.

 

OPPO recently announced its expansion to Saudi Arabia during a high-profile launch event held in Riyadh in January, followed by a local distributor and dealer conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Jeddah just a few weeks ago. 

 

OPPO entered the global smartphone market in 2011 and has since become one of the world’s most popular smartphone brands—particularly among young people—with over 250 million consumers around the world using OPPO smartphones. In the last year, OPPO has undertaken an aggressive expansion plan that has included venturing further into the GCC and expanding into Europe. Today OPPO’s business covers 40 countries and regions, including six research centers worldwide. 

 

Richard Sun, President of OPPO KSA, said: “Around the world, OPPO brings consumers delighted experiences in their digital life.  We are deeply committed to this mission in Saudi Arabia working with our local partners to provide the best service and smartphone experiences to the public. The availability of OPPO products in the Kingdom also marks a major milestone for OPPO as we continue to elevate our brand globally.”

 

Seize the Night with the OPPO R17 

The OPPO R17 and OPPO R17 Pro adopt a revolutionary gradient design while bringing unique functions to night photography, super-fast charging, and more. The Ultra-Night Mode brings together long exposure stabilization, noise cancellation, and a wider dynamic range to have the most clear and detailed night shot. The AI Beauty Camera is powered by a 25MP front camera that makes it easy to define yourself on your own terms. Featuring face slimming, makeup, and six other fully-configurable modes as well as a live preview option, the AI Beauty Camera lets you decide what goes into the making of a perfect shot. 

 

With its highly-awarded VOOC flash charge, the OPPO R17’s large 3500mAh battery can reach a full charge quickly and safely. Just five minutes of charge provides an estimated two hours of talking time. The OPPO R17 Pro also carries SuperVOOC flash charging technology, taking only 10 minutes to charge a flat battery to 40% and 35 minutes to get fully charged.

 

The OPPO R17 comes in two colors – Ambient Blue and Nero Purple—and the OPPO R17 Pro comes in Emerald Green and Radiant Mist. The OPPO R17 comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage while the R17 Pro comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The OPPO R17 is priced at SAR 1,799 while the R17 Pro is now available at SAR 2,599. 

 

OPPO Find X: A Panoramic Design out of the Ordinary 

The company’s premium flagship device, the OPPO Find X is a 6.4-inch smartphone and the world’s first panoramic designed phone to embrace the beauty of nature into a leading technology product. It comes with a stunning curved design and an all-screen flexible display that brings the visual screen ratio to an astounding 93.8 percent. It also includes several cutting-edge features such as stealth 3D cameras that when not in use are hidden, and when activated open automatically for unlocking and photographing. The 3D cameras include a 25MP front camera and 20MP + 16MP dual rear cameras, with a 3D Structured Light Technology and a 3D lighting technique for artistic portraits.

 

The OPPO Find X comes in two gradient color combinations—Bordeaux Red and Glacier Blue—and a single 8GB RAM + 256GM storage model available for SAR 3,999 with enhanced SuperVOOC flashcharging.

Together with OPPO's AI Beauty Technology, the A3s provides a more realistic and natural selfie experience. Along with the 2GB RAM + 16GB storage, it packs a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 Octa core processor and a long-lasting 4230mAh battery, all at a price point of just SAR 699.
