The Oppo F1 is the first device in Oppo's new camera-centric smartphone series
Here's what Oppo Vice President Sky Li had to say about the new F series of smartphones:
The F series will inherit the excellent camera performance and exquisite design tradition that have earned accolades for OPPO’s flagship series
Judging on the words used in this statement, the Oppo F series is not likely to integrate high-end smartphone specs. Instead, there's a good chance that the Oppo F1 will approach the booming mid-range smartphone market.
When you think about it, bringing high-end camera features to mid-range smartphones makes a lot of sense. Many smartphone users would definitely like to get their hands on a capable camera without having to pay the premium price of a high-end smartphone.
At the moment, Oppo is keeping silence when it comes to the price of the Oppo F1, but the company said that the phone will launch in markets across the globe by the end of the month. As such, more details about this new camera-centric smartphone series from Oppo are expected to surface online - through either official or unofficial channels - in the upcoming weeks. Who knows, we might even get to see the smartphone on the CES floor this week in Las Vegas.
Shenzhen, Jan. 4, 2016 – Cementing its status as a premier brand for outstanding smartphone photography, OPPO announced plans to introduce a new product series that will make photography its central focus. The F series is rooted in a growing global demand for premium-quality mobile photography experiences, and in research that has indicated a strong consumer recognition that “OPPO shoots great photos”. The F series will be a core product series for OPPO in 2016.
According to Mr. Sky Li, OPPO Vice President and Managing Director of International Mobile Business, the F series will inherit the excellent camera performance and exquisite design tradition that have earned accolades for OPPO’s flagship series. The series will bring devices with impressive specs, eye-catching style and amazing prices that will have consumers doing double takes on the excellent specs and build quality.
“We are very excited to introduce the F series, which will allow an even wider range of users from all around the world to experience OPPO’s outstanding photography technology,” said Li.
Meanwhile, OPPO will keep innovating its unique flagship devices to satisfy the continued demand for devices on the vanguard of technology.
The first product of the new F series is called the F1. It is set to launch in a wide range of OPPO’s global markets this January.
