OPPO, a growing smartphone brand, has opened its second regional hub within the UAE and will make Dubai its new center for operations in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region.

In the MEA region, OPPO has a presence in the Kenya, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria and Nigeria.

This is the brand’s latest move in the region after announcing its plan of launching the R17 Series in Saudi Arabia earlier this month which will also be the first time OPPO launches its mid-to-high end R series in the region. The opening is part of OPPO’s global growth strategy and recognizes Dubai’s unique position as a regional nexus for business and technology innovation.

The new hub will be OPPO’s base for Middle East’s regional sales, distribution and marketing operations, as well as being a point from which OPPO will look to deepen technology partnerships with other private and public-sector entities. The hub will also oversee OPPO’s continued expansion in the Middle East with OPPO already evaluating a potential entry into markets like Saudi Arabia in 2019.

Rapid growth is something that OPPO has become quite familiar with. Over 200 million consumers around the world now use OPPO smartphones, and the company is consistently ranked as a top five smartphone brand globally by market intelligence firm IDC. OPPO has expanded its smartphone business to over 30 countries and regions, covering Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and Europe, providing products and services at over 400,000 points of sale. The company first began offering products to consumers in select Middle East markets in 2015, later setting up a regional sales office in Cairo, Egypt, in 2016. In Egypt, OPPO has been ranked the top three smartphone brand and is enjoyed by youth across the country.

Within the last year, OPPO has started to adjust its product line in the region. This has included the launch of its flagship OPPO Find X smartphone in the UAE in September 2018. This year, OPPO will continue to adjust its product line to offer more premium series to young consumers in the region.

Andy Shi, President of OPPO Middle East and Africa, commented, “With youth in its DNA, OPPO is dedicated to creating products that integrate technology and artistry, and give users a wonderful experience in their digital lives. The Gulf region is a particularly exciting market for us given the large youth population, the high level of mobile connectivity, and the public’s enthusiasm for new technology experiences.”
