More smartphone companies are starting to join the phone repairability bandwagon and Oppo might be the next in line according to a new report from reliable tipster, Digital Chat Station.
According to the Chinese tipster, Oppo is planning to launch a new initiative that will provide free battery replacements for up to 4 years after you buy your phone. This program will start with the upcoming Oppo A2 Pro 5G, which is expected to launch this weekend in China.
Another tipster who goes by the username WHYLAB has also talked about Oppo’s new initiative. He says that if your phone’s battery health drops below 80%, you will be eligible for a free battery replacement under the after-sales service, which is a major step forward from the usual 1-2 years warranty we get from phone companies.
It is unclear if this program will reach Pakistan.
