Oppo has become the latest mobile company to team up with Flipkart to sell its range of devices in India. The company said that all the smartphones it has launched in India till date will now be sold exclusively via Flipkart including its latest Find 7.

Oppo has been looking to expand in India and this deal is a step towards increasing its pan-India footprint. The company also plans to expand more service centers in the next one year. So far, Oppo has launched 10 devices in the India market that range from sub-Rs 10,000 to Rs 40,000.

Tom Lu, CEO, Oppo Mobiles India, said “We have been striving to come closer to our customers and become a part of the society. With more and more consumers going online, having a digital presence has become a must. Flipkart is definitely one of the most popular shopping platforms with a very loyal customer base and by partnering with them, we are sure OPPO’s smartphones will reach out to more customers. With our products, Indian customers will get a chance to experience the best in innovation, the way many customers have enjoyed globally .”

Oppo is a Chinese smartphone brand that entered the Indian market earlier this year with the N1 featuring a 206 degree rotating camera, a 5.9” screen, and rear touch panel. Lately, it launched the high-end Find 7 with a 5.5-inch QHD display with 1440×2560 pixels of resolution, and pixel density that goes all the way up to 538ppi. It claimed to be the first phone with a QHD display to be launched in India. The Find 7 gets a top-of-the-line quad-core Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974AC) – one of the most powerful SoCs in the market – clocked at 2.5GHz and coupled with a 3GB of RAM.
