Wu added that country like India is always significant to the company. “Lots of work are yet to be done. We’re closely monitoring India as we are enhancing our services in the country,” Wu added. In the India smartphone market, OPPO has a share of 11.8 per cent in Q3, as per market research firm IDC. Earlier, OPPO announced the opening of the electronic manufacturing cluster in the Greater Noida region with an investment of Rs 3,500 crore that will have the capability to produce approximately two lakh product units daily.

“OPPO has been more than just a phone maker from the outset. In fact, smartphones have simply been a gateway for the company to deliver a diverse portfolio of technological services,” Chen said. “For OPPO and even the entire industry, there won’t be any company solely focusing on smartphones,” he added.
