Last summer, OPPO introduced its telephones in Europe, with the scoop for the Netherlands. The smartphones have been well received by the Dutch consumer. Harrison Chen, OPPO Netherlands CEO, sees the future of OPPO in the Dutch market with confidence: “I am extremely proud of this great collaboration with T-Mobile. At OPPO we want to create products that are the perfect combination of design and technology. Based on this principle, the RX17 Pro has been developed and it is our ambition to introduce more Dutch people to this device together with T-Mobile.”
