Meet OPPO’s Fabulous New Trio: OPPO Joy Plus, Neo 5 and R1x

Mobile tech giant OPPO, continues to introduce new and innovative mobile phones to the Philippine market with these fabulous new trio, the OPPO Joy Plus, OPPO Neo 5 and OPPO R1x. I am honored to be invited as one of the firsts to see and experience the new OPPO smartphones via its product and media launch held last night in a spectrum-themed event at Valkyrie Club in Bonifacio Global City.

While waiting for the event to start, I roamed around to check on the OPPO smartphones on display. These are the smartphones that were previously released in Philippine market - one of them is the critically acclaimed swivel-cam OPPO N3.

Honestly, this is the first time I get to try an OPPO smartphone. And I must say that I am quite surprised! It is really impressive as it looks and feels sturdy and packed with a lot of features. It made me more excited to know what are the latest smartphones OPPO is set to launch.

Hello from #Valkyrie for the #OPPONewTrio Launch! 👍👍 @OPPOPhilippines
