What You May Not Know of Oppo, OnePlus and Vivo

Despite their meteoric rise in the mobile phone industry, few people have ever really heard of Oppo.

 This 2016, the fastest growing sales in the smartphone industry is not Samsung or Xiaomi but Oppo. 

Here are some things you might want to know

1. Oppo's CEO is Tony Chen
Tony founded this company in 2004 in Dongguan, southern China.  Little is know about Tony Chen, except that he is young and energetic. 

2. Oppo used to make a lot of high quality MP3 Players
Before they ventured into mobile phones, Oppo made portable media players (PMPs) that were released only in China and very few other Asian markets. These MP3 players were very well received and highly acclaimed in China. 

3. Oppo started smartphones in 2008
Oppo is actually older than Xiaomi in this industry. The year 2008 was also the year when Samsung and LG were small players in the smartphone market. 

4.  Oppo innovates
Oppo’s first mobile phone didn’t really impress a lot of consumers, but their later releases certainly made headlines in tech news sites. In 2013, Oppo released the N1 with its rotating camera and that really made waves.

5. Oppo also owns OnePlus, and OnePlus owns Vivo
These 3 are now the fastest growing smartphones in China. 

6. Oppo's specifications are the highest in the industry with the Lowest Price
6 GB Ram, 16 MP Front Camera, 10-minutes quick charge to 50% are technologies that even giants like Apple and Samsung cannot do it

This Chinese company is clearly intent on making their mark. In fact, they seem to be aiming directly for the biggest players: Apple and Samsung. 

Only time will tell if Oppo’s efforts will pay off, and if the new markets will embrace their phones. But one thing’s certain: consumers know the name Oppo now, and you now know Oppo after reading my article. Written by Andy Ng, chief trainer of www.asiatrainers.com

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
