Oppo smartphone breaks into world’s top 5 smartphones’ list: Report

Oppo’s R9S smartphone has been named as the world’s third-most popular smartphone during the first quarter of 2017. The ranking comes courtesy a recent report by Strategy Analytics. The smartphone was launched in China in October 2016. The company has not yet mentioned anything about the smartphone’s launch in India.
According to the Strategy Analytics’ Smartphone Model Tracker (SMT) report, Oppo R9S ranks at No. 3 spot after Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus .

The company is said to have sold 9 million units of Oppo R9S and the smartphone ranks above Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) and the Galaxy J5 (2016) , which are placed at No. 4 and 5 with 6.1 million and 5 million shipments respectively. For reference, shipments of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus stand at 21.5 million and 17.4 million units.

“OPPO R9s shipped 8.9 million units for third place and 3 percent marketshare worldwide in Q1 2017. OPPO is largely unknown in the Western world, but its brand is wildly popular in China and growing rapidly across India. The R9s is OPPO’s flagship 4G device with key features such as dual-SIM connectivity and fingerprint security,” said Neil Mawston, executive director, Strategy Analytics.

According to Linda Sui, director, Strategy Analytics, “Samsung was still gearing up for the launch of its new Galaxy S8 portfolio, but managed to get two models in the top five during Q1 2017. The Galaxy J3 captured 2 percent global smartphone marketshare and fourth place, while Galaxy J5 took 1 percent global share to become the world’s fifth most popular model. Samsung’s J3 and J5 are mid-range devices that sell very well across Europe and Asia and they helped to offset Samsung’s troubles with the Note 7 battery fiasco in the quarter.” The global smartphone shipments in total reached 353.3 million units in Q1 2017, as per the report.
