The era of Nokia begins.

The evolution of mobile phones: from Soviet developments to Full HD smartphones of the future 4. 1996 The world's first communicator, Nokia 9000. QWERTY keyboard, large display, retractable antenna - everything you could dream of in 1996.

The evolution of mobile phones: from Soviet developments to Full HD smartphones of the future 7. 2012 In the summer, Samsung bypasses Apple in sales: about 50 million smartphones were sold.

The evolution of mobile phones: from Soviet developments to Full HD smartphones of the future 8. 2013 Just creating a high-tech gadget for success in the global market is not enough. Almost every modern smartphone manufacturer has introduced a model with a Full HD display. A quad-core processor, high-quality sound, an excellent high-resolution camera no longer surprise anyone. Sony Xperia Z, HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4 - all the high-profile news of the last year are technically almost identical.

To stand out, you have to come up with new moves. The Chinese company OPPO has attracted a movie star of the first magnitude, Leonardo DiCaprio, to advertise its flagship. In technical terms, their OPPO Find 5 is no different from the novelties of world brands already mentioned above, and is in no way inferior to them. And as a unique feature of the Find line of smartphones, a series of commercials with a quality similar to Hollywood blockbusters.

Patented technologies and assembly in our own factory, a multi-million dollar advertising campaign, unique design and high quality - not at all the “China” that smartphone users are used to.

However, it seems that the time has come for those who previously paid little attention: Chinese local brands have enough resources to grab their piece of the pie in the global smartphone market. First - Leonardo DiCaprio, and then the whole world!
