Oppo is a Chinese electronics manufacturer based in Dongguan, Guangdong. Its major product lines include smartphones, Blu-ray players, and other electronic devices. Globally registered in 2001 and founded in 2004, the company has registered the OPPO brand name in many parts of the world. And, nowadays it is more known for quality smartphones.
Oppo launched a new mid-range smartphone – Oppo A57, yesterday in their home country – China. It will be available from December 12 in China at the price of NRs.26000 roughly. This phone comes in a couple of colors – Rose Gold and Gold. However, there is no word about launching Oppo A57 in other markets. The main feature of this phone is the front facing camera, actually made for taking selfies. I think, this is probably the highest megapixel camera ever built for selfies in a smartphone (One Plus 3T also has).
