OPPO Reno5 series becomes official smartphone partner of PUBG

According to global market research firm – YouGov, the Middle East is home to the fastest growing online gaming population in the world with a growth rate of 25 percent. The region’s gaming community is also the most engaged, and displays a passion and energy for adventure – attributes shared by OPPO Reno series’ target audience of young creators.

As the official smartphone partner of PUBG MOBILE Esports in the Middle East and Africa region in 2021, OPPO will play an active part in the company’s esports championships that will run throughout the year. OPPO has a strong history of supporting sports activities that is in line with PUBG MOBILE’s plan to develop regional talents by building a well-defined structure for esports, forging a clear path from grassroots to amateur to pro-league levels. Based on an in-depth understanding of the market, OPPO has innovated the Reno5 series’ latest smartphones that are tailored for a superior gaming experience with features such as Gaming Shortcut Mode, Gamer Mode, Bullet Screen Messages and Adjustable Gaming Touch that create an environment for users to be totally immersed in entertainment.

In line with the huge popularity of mobile gaming in the region, we invested in bringing the ideal gaming platform to our customers through our latest Reno5 series of smartphones. Selecting the new Reno5 Series as the official smartphone partner for PUBG MOBILE Esports in the Middle East and Africa region, is a testament to the extraordinary and immersive gaming experience offered by our Reno5 Pro 5G and Reno5 5G smartphones.”

Leveraging on our experience and expertise in eSports, we’re thrilled to join hands with OPPO to enhance the ever-growing mobile gaming landscape.”

PUBG MOBILE, one of the world’s most popular mobile games, is partnering with OPPO for the second time, after a successful PUBG MOBILE MENA Challenger Cup in 2019 that coincided with the launch of the all-new Reno series. This year, as the designated smartphones of PUBG MOBILE Esports in Middle East and Africa, both Reno5 Pro 5G and Reno5 5G features remarkable power and speed setups, plus the best-in-class audio and visual display to offer unprecedented mobile gaming experience.

True to its 2021 theme ‘Technology for mankind, kindness for the world’, OPPO believes that technology should empower humanity to live fully connected lives and reap the full benefits of a technology-powered world. In addition to its superior gaming features, the Reno5 series is set to take the UAE market by storm with industry-leading Qualcomm 5G chipsets, AMOLED screens with 90hHz refresh rate, smooth, light and slim design, and  65W SuperVOOC2.0 Flash Charge – the safest and one of the fastest charging technologies commercially available in the world.

Now available for pre-order in the UAE, the all-new OPPO Reno5 series will be priced at AED 2,799 for the Reno5 Pro 5G and AED 1,999 for the Reno5 5G.

OPPO started its journey in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region in 2015 after setting up its regional office in Egypt. Following the immense success of the brand’s sales centre in Cairo in the first year, OPPO accelerated its expansion plan across the MEA region and inaugurated its country operations in the UAE in 2019. Now OPPO is physically present in more than 13 markets across the region, including Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and the Levant.
