About Oppo
Oppo is a Chinese company that works in close collaboration with OnePlus – so you’ll often see similar features on phones from the two brands.
That’s no bad thing, as OnePlus is one of the most exciting smartphone brands around and Oppo takes all of those exciting elements and attaches them to phones that are at times even more premium.
That’s not to say that all of Oppo’s phones are expensive though, as the company also offers a range of mid-range and budget handsets.
Why choose Three for your Oppo phone
Three is a great network to choose as while it’s one of the biggest name networks in the UK, it’s also often a lot cheaper than its main rivals, while offering just as many perks.
Beyond the competitive pricing, Three stands out through offering access to its Three+ rewards app to customers. This allows you to access discounts and offers from other brands, and these are only accessible to Three customers.
Plus, Three has strong – and ever improving - 5G coverage, and comprehensive 4G coverage, while 5G comes as standard on its plans – as does tethering, 4G Calling and Wi-Fi Calling. The network also offers affordable roaming in a huge number of locations, and you can get plans that come with unlimited data.
