Certainly, there’s no OPPO software indexed at the corporate’s professional website online in Germany. As a substitute, the web page shows a banner that reads (gadget translated), “No product knowledge is these days to be had on our website online.

We reached out to OPPO asking if delisting merchandise from its website online was once additionally a short lived transfer till the corporate resolves its problems within the German marketplace. Here’s a commentary we gained from an OPPO consultant:
In accordance with the industrial dispute filed towards OPPO via Nokia, gross sales of a few OPPO merchandise briefly are placed on cling in Germany. With the exception of gross sales and advertising and marketing of related merchandise being placed on cling, OPPO will proceed operations in Germany. As all the time, customers can proceed to make use of their OPPO merchandise, get admission to OPPO’s after-sales carrier, obtain long run OS updates, and extra.
From the above commentary, it kind of feels that the halt on advertising and marketing merchandise thru its website online is a part of the repercussions OPPO is dealing with in Germany. When it lost the patent infringement case to Nokia within the nation, it needed to forestall gross sales of now not handiest OPPO-branded telephones within the nation but additionally OnePlus handsets.
