''The electronics manufacturer
announced that it sold 50 million
phones in 2015, which makes it the
world's 8th largest maker of mobile
phones.''
Just as the year 2015 was a milestone year for Huawei,

who with the help of Google infiltrated the US
with the Nexus 6P , it was also a big year for
another Chinese smartphone maker.
Oppo on Thursday announced it sold 50 million
phones in year 2015, which represents a 67 percent
year-on-year growth for the Dongguan-based
company. It also makes Oppo the 8th largest
mobile phone maker in the world, according to
research firm Gartner , who also revealed that 6
of the top 10 global smartphone brands are
Chinese.
The company is best known for its midrange
devices like the R7 and for more eclectic
phones like the selfie-focused N1 , touted as the
first smartphone to have a rotating camera.
Oppo has been very aggressive in courting
markets outside China in the last year, with
managing director Sean Deng saying the
company has "been making headway in the
Southeast Asia region especially."
Oppo's rise in popularity is one of 2015's many
notable happenings in China's smartphone
market. Last year, Xiaomi's momentum stunted
somewhat when, after selling 70 million phones,
it failed to reach two of its sales goals, Huawei
boosted its international brand awareness with
the aforementioned Nexus 6P and Lenovo fully
incorporated Motorola into its business, killing a
decades old brand in the process.
