OPPO also participated at China International Industrial Design Expo in 2020 whereby two conceptual designs – ‘slide phone’ & ‘music link’ developed in partnership with Japanese-based industrial design studio Nendo were showcased.

This was a year of many ‘firsts’ for us – we are glad to have blazed the trail being the first brand to host a product launch – unveiling of F15 - entirely virtually. We look forward to the new year as many more new products, services await our loyal clientele in Sri Lanka,” said CEO of OPPO Sri Lanka Bob Li.
