Fashion Show
OPPO co-operated with famous fashion designers Munib Nawaz and Shiza Hassan to launch the fashion designs with OPPO latest smartphones.
And this was the first time in Pakistan that Fashion Designers applied smartphones elements on the fashion design officially.
Check below pictures from the OPPO stage:
In Pakistan if I’m spending anything above 20k on a cell phone I would want it to be either Sony Samsung.Nokia/Microsoft. These clowns at oppo should fire the marketing department and rethink there pricing strategy at these prices oppo will soon be history in Pakistan Imo..
Oppo is trying to establish itself as premium brand, features offered in this phone are no less than Saumsung, Microsoft or Sony Mobiles, Oppo is official partner of Barcelona FC too now.
Well they are miserably failing to do that and that’s not my opinion but a fact.!
But still the specs of all three of these devices are not good enough to compete with flagship smartphones.
Sony Xperia Z2 comes in the same price as Oppo R7 Plus.
And from processor to the camera Sony beats the Oppo in every ways.
@Aamir attaa please rfemove vulgar pics.
I posted these pics here and you are reacting. This is how these companies will get to know of public sentiment and may respond accordingly. Warna app sab ko pata kaisay chalta k launch event pay howa kiya hay?
Aamir bhai honestly I appreciate your efforts on providing the complete news to us and keeping us up to date with the latest news and events, and this is exactly why I love this website and visit it daily. And same is with other people.
Now the only thing that is bothering viewers is we use this website and share news with our beloved and respected family members as well and no matter how shameless we personally are but still we are not that much vulgar to share half naked pix with our mother and sisters. I hope you got our point. If can’t remove, try to blur those female models, at the least.
And those companies get to know our religion first before judging public sentiments.
You made a valid point. Will be done.
Maahol rangeen krny ka boht boht shukria. :-P
This phone has finger print lock front cam with flash lite fast vooc charging 40% strong all brands octacore processor its a good smart fone than Sony
Oppo R7 plus is a good smartphone but not worth it at this much price.
in 40 thousand you can have a lot of other options as well like, HTC One M8 and Sony Xperia Z2 for example Sony is rocking with a Snapdragon 801 , 20.7 mega Pixel Camera with 4K video recording, 3GB RAM, IP55/IP58 rating (dust and waterproof), 1080p display with 424ppi, 3200 mah Li-ion battery which will easily complete with 4000mah battery of Oppo which has to power a larger 6″ display.
Over all Quality of Sony is 2nd to none. As a matter of fact, oppo is also using Sony’s 13MP sensor and optics in it’s camera just like other manufactures.
so how do you think it can compete with that beast serving a 20.7 MP goodness. :D
You forgot about LG G3. It’s Dual sim 3/32 GB version is available already for 35-38,000 in te market.
Exactly see that’s my point when you enter the price range of 40 thousand there are lots of better options. So Oppo has to rethink.
Doesnt matter if its partner with fc Barcelona or not ….to get hold of pakistan market u need to look.ar your prices whywould we be buying expensive phone when huawe and qmobile.offering some.good quality phone s …secondly.nokia and samsung are also offering some.low prices phones in.good.quality ….stay aware of. ground realities
I won’t compare Q-Mobile to Oppo, as Q isn’t a real brand. But Huawei, YES! They have a much attractive offer in P-8 Lite for 5,000 lesser price and better market value(although, personally I never consider market value before buying a smartphone that I like). Also, Lenovo, a much bigger and renowned brand than Oppo too has some really models to offer in this price range, like P-70 which sells for 24,000 only and is already an established model. And, we should not forget about both the upcoming Lenovo Vibe P-1 and S-1 which are every bit better smartphones than R-7 Lite in the same price range. I don’t know how is Oppo going to justify its pricing
hahaha. They are asking for a violent and miserable market death. Lets hand it to them. Get lost Oppo Choopo.
I think it will not work in Pakistan for much longer. Internationally Chinese brands are selling best phones at cheap price. Huawei honor series 4c,4x. Lenovo a7000,a7000,k3 note, Zte nubia, Meizu m2/m2 note and most important of them all xiaomi with its mi redmi phones like note 2 at prices bellow 300-200 dollars, oppo as Chinese brand hardly has much time left till masses in Pakistan open their eyes and see the phones being sold in Pakistan by Chinese manufactures are really worth.
Speech from brand executive director of OPPO was very in-convincing and embarrassing. He lacked confidence and ability to speak in front of audience.
Most Chinese are like this when it comes to speaking English.
The only difrence in garnd prime n mirror5 is just 1 gb more ram in mirror n have less batery than grand prime n see the difrence in prices grand prime 19000 range and mirror5 is 29000
Heck even Galaxy J-5 s a better phone than Mirror 5 for 23,000 PKR
wow it was a mobile launching ceremony or a fashion show got little confused !!!
Pakistan mei yeh sab bikta hai is liye they included
@ProPakistani Mobile phone ki coverage tu samajh aati hai but yeh end main pics jo lagaee hain na bhi lagate tu kaam chal jata :-( I would request agar ap atleast in main se vulgar pics ko remove kar sakte ho tu please go ahead.
agreed
Yes I am thinking the same.. Is this a tech or a fashion site
This is not a finance banking sire but we still see topics related to banks so what’s wrong with fashion maybe they want to show the designs were created using technology.oh well some these pics really made my day shine
Brother.. if they post bank articles or any other topic it has some link with IT otherwise I barely saw any none technical articles at ProPakistani.
I wish your day will be more shiner if you see some good pictures instate of such vulgar pics.
If you think it’s vulgar move on to the next post
It’s like the saying guns don’t kill it’s the person behind the gun who kills. You may not have control on what’s around you but u have complete control over your eyes.!
Hats off to you sir! What great logic… Wah dil jeet lia aapne, aap jeete hum haray :-)
Waise sir is tarah har chez main ankhain band kar kar ke hi tu humara mashra yahan tak pohanch gaya hai ke humain apko saboot dena par raha hai ke yeh pics vulgar hain bhi ya nahi… oh sorry bhol gaya, I think ap kahainge ke I need to grow up and I think you are right. I literally need to grow up…
100% correct baat kahi hai aap ny !
Is Mashray main Vulgarity ka reason aisi soch hi hai jo har chez par ankhain band kar k ignore karny ko kehti hai.
We need to rethink about the consequences of this ignorance.
اوپو نے تو عجیب حرکت کی ہی لیکن پروپاکستانی پر موبائل سے زیادہ فیشن کی صاویر لگانا سمجھ سے باہر ہے۔ غیر متعلقہ تصاویر ہٹا دینی چاہیں۔
متفق
آج کل کارپوریٹ پروگرامات بھی فیشن شو جیسے بنتے جارہے ہیں۔
where r the vulgar pics????
they r decently dressed and look good too….u want them to wear burkha or what???
do u live in a village or what???
You and We have different definitions of word “vulgar”, so there is no point discussing it with you further. I hope you will understand and never mind…
yea but still hard to understand whats vulgar about clothes in the pics
raanien aur kolhy to nazar aa rahy hein sir, is se ziada aur kis chiz ko aap VULGAR kehty Shiva ji?
maine phir se saare pics dekhe….almost sabhi ne full sleeves kapde pehne hain….vulgar kaha hai bhai? also they look good in the outfits
i dont know why why why Oppo is still alive in market though i am not hater of this brand but why their pricing is not according to Pakistan Market .. keep selling and spending ..
The lenovo p70 and huawei p8 lite have better price and features than this mirror 5 this is insanely priced!
Samsung Galaxy J5 is much batter choice in only Rs.23000/-
Exactly.
Pakistan has got nothing to offer OPPO. They wants us to buy their bricks at high prices with old hardware/software well PAKISTANI aren’t assholes.
Buddy I guess it’s the other way around oppo has nothing interesting to offer the Pakistan market
That’s exactly what i said it’s the same point but from a different angle. In the end they don’t have any chance in Pakistani market at least till now.
Which snapdragon model?
I was planning to get a new internet device for
my personal use and as I live in Karachi, I decided to buy the new #Wi-tribe
connection which works perfectly. I am very impressed with the speed I am
getting on it and have not faced any lag in the past couple of months. I highly
recommend everyone to check it out.
Fraud. Paid stooge by WiShit. Dont believe such non sense.
Mobilink is trying to improve i think…. getting better consistently for the past couple of days…..
My Ookla Speedtest result – Check out my Ookla Speedtest result. What’s your speed? http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/1453599643
I am astonished its selling of females or oppo models
lol.. the closet mullah in us is in full swing over some not-so-vulgar-pics…… :D :D
Sir kuch baat samajh nahi aai, apko khushi in pics ke upload hone par horahi hai ya phir in pics ko vulgar bolne par, please thoda sa clear kar dain. Angrezi zara kamzoor hai humari…
sir bus samajh lijiye… MIXED Emotions.. :)
IMHO, this brand will only get succeed if it competes with Qmobile kind of phones.
That fashion show is not only filthy, it’s irritating.
ProPk bnd hogae kya?
