The trademarks in the application by Oppo have also been categorised as Class 9. This is important as it includes smartphones, confirming that these are indeed future handset models from the company.

Unfortunately, more information about the upcoming smartphones by Oppo is not available yet. It is also not known when the company will launch the 22 devices it has registered trademarks for, however considering it has officially discontinued its F series of mid-range devices; Oppo may be planning to launch most of them by the year’s end.
