OPPO phones are proliferating across Asia like how green moss spreads over wet surface, before you know it they engulf the whole surface. So what so special about these phones that consumers just cant get enough of.

For one the camera quality and price while everything else about the phones is nothing to shout at, its these two elements which is keeping the OPPO flag flying. And the Chinese know this, that’s why they continue to milk the proverbial cow and launch every model boasting on the camera feature be it the front for selfie purposes or the back. Latest to hit the market targeting the mid-tier consumer who are price conscious but are looking for a decent smartphone, OPPO will be making the A77 model available come end May.

Having debut in Taiwan and India, rave reviews are non-existent as the A77 which boasts 4GB RAM and 16MP front camera, slips into the market quietly in the already over crowded segment with brands gasping for air. Entering here will also be met with much resistance from the likes of Honor, Vivo, Moto and the like Nokia reentering Malaysia, but OPPO has gained a strong following over the years and established network of dealers confident of attracting a certain fans for the phone.

Maybe the timely launch could just bode well with Ramadhan followed by Hari Raya around the corner, which will give rise to selfie photo taking moments.
