Orange and OPPO recently announced a co-innovation partnership agreement that will help to deliver Orange services to a broad range of OPPO’s smartphones and IoT devices to Europe, with a view to extending this further across the Orange footprint.
A primary goal of the partnership is to create innovative solutions jointly to meet the evolving needs from consumers.
The combination of OPPO’s vision and technical capability with Orange’s extensive network and customer experience ideally enables both parties to design new and pioneering solutions to address specific market needs.
Personalisation of Open Market Devices In Q1 2020, Orange noted a 4.6% quarter-on-quarter increase of Android devices from the open market connecting to the Orange European network. The personalisation of open market devices is an Orange innovation and is activated upon detection of an Orange SIM card on a smartphone. This enables Orange to use OPPO’s over-the-air provisioning service to seamlessly load Orange services like My Orange/Orange et Moi or Orange TV, giving customers immediate, easy access to key services unique to Orange and thus greatly improving the experience for customers.
Orange personalisation will launch on OPPO’s open market variants, ranged by Orange across Europe from October 2020, including two new 5G devices - the Reno 4 Z 5G and Reno4 Pro 5G, as well as OPPO’s 4G smartphone, the OPPO A72.
New eSIM smartwatch by OPPO makes it easier for Orange customers to connect to multi-SIM offers Orange and OPPO are also jointly working to launch a new eSIM smartwatch that will deliver an even more advanced user interface on Wear OS by Google that fits the first rectangular Dual-Curved Edge AMOLED display, which is a stylish 46mm eSIM smartwatch.
