OPPO wants to do a OnePlus, enter US market: Report

San Francisco: Chinese handset maker OPPO is now aiming to foray into the US market, similar to what premium smartphone maker OnePlus did in October 2018.

“Another Chinese phone maker wants to take a crack at the US market. But this one already has a foot in the door in a roundabout way,” Alan Wu, Head of OPPO’s overseas business, said in an interview to CNET on Friday.

He was not specific on timing, but he said he wanted to wait until OPPO gained ground in Europe.

OPPO is the sister-company of popular start-up OnePlus, but it has struggled to gain momentum outside of Asia. It is one of the biggest handset players in China.
