Oppo is pivoting its strategy to expand aggressively in Europe, driven by rising memory prices that make entry-level phones unsustainable. The company aims to reduce the time gap between Chinese and European launches, ensuring new models arrive while still generating buzz and limiting competition. Europe represents a prime market, with 40% of phones sold in the first half of 2026 being premium devices costing $600 or more, second only to North America.
To support this expansion, Oppo is forging partnerships with European carriers and financing institutions, enhancing accessibility through payment plans and wider distribution. This dual approach of faster rollouts and strategic alliances positions Oppo to capture a larger share of the lucrative premium segment.
