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.
