OPPO F3 series
A pair of lenses at the front- this is how Oppo is trying to make good on the "Selfie
Expert" claim for the second generation in a row. It's hardly news for anyone who caught
our Oppo F3 Plus review. Now, if the latter was presumably the "better half" in the pair,
the regular Oppo F3 that we're about to review is the more compact phone - the economy
package, so to speak.
We are still trying to figure out whether it's playing second fiddle in this Selfie Expert
duet, or if it's the value package that's supposed to shake up Oppo's sales in the right
markets. It really seems like Oppo is deliberately keeping the focus on the F3 Plus, but
Southeast Asia may be just the right place for the regular F3 to get out of its sibling's
shadow.
The final decision of transaction is totally depend on the consumer, consumer may
have different perception for his satisfaction for particular brand and company has to
fulfill consumer’s requirement. Hence the concerned project is undertaken:-
10 | P a g e
To analyze the customer’s requirement.
To provide the better services & try to built the credibility in the consumer.
To study the reactions from the customers when retailers forcing to buy the
mobile
11 | P a g e
Function of the job:
Regular communication with shop owners of different markets and also with the
potential customers.
Visiting shops and emerging markets.
Collecting the market information from the market.
Reporting the information to the manager.
Planning the new strategy for communicating with the clients.
To approach the retailers to install the oppo branding.
Research Methodology:
Primary sources
Secondary sources
Primary sources:
Primary data have been collected by direct interviews and conversations with the
Smartphone users in the Panvel sales region of OPPO mobile
Secondary sources:
Sampling:
The method I have used to collect data is random sampling method. For this I had choose
Retail mobile shops.
As the desired result of this report was to be able to recommend solutions that will raise
the popularity for OPPO Smartphones as a brand in the local market, the primary sample
population were the competing brands to assess OPPO’s market position regarding
certain in-focus products at the moment.The secondary population in this instance was
representatives of these brand organizations in the local/regional market. In order to
decide which brands are these key competitors, local retailers and consumers along with
local OPPO supervisors were taken as another set of sample population. This done, the
expertise of company employees and partners were sought to build the overview of the
current market possibilities in lieu of the current situation of the local
telecommunications industry.
1. As oppo branding is already installed in 80% of the retail mobile shops,its not
easy to find a shops to approach.
2. Target given to approach shops is very high for a single day.

Organization Chart:
Oppo topped China’s smartphone market in 2016, as Apple recorded first annual decline
That’s because the little-known phone-maker scooped the top spot for smartphone sales
in China last year, for the first time, fractionally beating out its sister company Vivo and
heavyweight Huawei. Apple and Xiaomi, two massive names, meanwhile, posted their
first annual shipment declines, highlighting the different struggles that both companies
face in The Middle Kingdom.
Oppo and Vivo are both owned by Guangzhou-based company BBK, and they have
steadily developed a strong presence in China, and markets like India and Southeast Asia.
That’s through well designed phones that adopt new technology, like AMOLED screens,
but are priced well below the iPhone. Most importantly, they use aggressive advertising
campaigns and offline sales channels to reach prospective customers. All in all, the
approach is similar to the tactics that have worked for Samsung.
38 | P a g e
A new report from IDC found that this strategy propelled Oppo’s annual sales in China to
78.4 million, up 122 percent year-on-year, first on the list, while Vivo sat slightly lower
in third with 69.2 million shipments, up 97 percent. Sandwiched between the two is
Huawei, with 76.6 million shipments. Apple and Xiaomi round out the top five.
According to IDC, Oppo and Vivo combined account for nearly one-third of the Chinese
smartphone market, which is the world’s largest based on sales. That’s quite a staggering
feat considering the competition — Samsung and Lenovo are among the many that didn’t
make it into IDC’s tracker.
It was widely assumed that Xiaomi didn’t have a great 2016. The company declined to
reveal annual sales figures for the first time, and its CEO acknowledged it had grown too
quickly with expectations too lofty. IDC estimates its annual sales in China, which
accounts for the bulk of its business, were down by nearly 10 percent. That suggests that
Xiaomi’s 2016 total was well short of the 70 million-plus sales it carded in 2015.
39 | P a g e
But Xiaomi is looking to push itself forward in different ways now. CEO Lei Jun said last
month that it will focus on expanding its retail footprint — perhaps inspired by the
success of Vivo and Oppo — and IDC sees much merit there.
“There is no longer a single channel that is seeing exponential growth for smartphones
unlike previous years. Most brands are now using a combination of channels to increase
their shipments,” it added.
As for Apple, we know from its recent earnings that the company had another
underwhelming quarter in China. iPhone sales declined 12 percent year-on-year during
the period, in stark contrast to record sales numbers elsewhere in the world.
Despite its first annual decline in sales in China, according to IDC’s numbers, the analyst
firm is positive about Apple’s position in the country. In its analysis, it argued that mid-
and low-end smartphone firms like Oppo and Vivo haven’t stolen its marketshare, but
instead existing Apple owners are waiting for a phone that is truly worth paying to
upgrade.
“Most Apple users are expected to be holding out for the new iPhone that will be
launched this year, and that will help the brand to see a growth in 2017,” IDC said.
“Apple’s 10-year anniversary iPhone will also likely attract some of the high-end
Android users in China to convert to an iPhone.”
