A few weeks ago, we informed you that Oppo had plans to unveil a new smartphone before this month ends. The company had plans to do so on October 18th in Dubai and expected, we were not disappointed.
Oppo finally unveiled the R7s yesterday in Dubai and the phone has some of the specs we were expecting. The company said that this new phablet will be launched in 10 different countries sometime next month. The company is first targeting the Asian markets that include Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Australia, and Indonesia. Besides these markets, the Oppo R7s will be heading to the Middle East and North Africa next month while those in Europe and the U.s will be getting in in December.
We still have no word about this phone’s availability in other markets such as Kenya and my guess is that we will be getting it sometime next year or not get it at all.
