Chinese PMP manufacturer Oppo intends to launch a Google [GOOG] Android smartphone in the early part of 2010. Although the device has yet to be given a name, it will feature a 3.5-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 480.
Innovative Features and Design
Other features include a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, built-in WiFi, and a range of lights on the side which are designed to show weather information, including current temperature and humidity. This unique feature could set the Oppo Android smartphone apart from other devices on the market, offering users a quick and easy way to stay updated on weather conditions without needing to unlock their phone or open an app.
The slide-out QWERTY keyboard is another notable feature, catering to users who prefer physical keyboards over virtual ones. This could appeal to business professionals and heavy texters who find physical keyboards more efficient for typing long emails or messages.
Speculations and Expectations
There are no details as yet on the exact specifications of the Oppo Android Smartphone, so we have no idea what sort of processor it will come with or what version of Google Android it will run. However, given the competitive nature of the smartphone market, it is likely that Oppo will equip the device with a capable processor to ensure smooth performance and a satisfactory user experience.
In terms of software, it would be interesting to see if Oppo includes any customizations or unique features on top of the standard Android experience. Many manufacturers add their own skins or additional functionalities to differentiate their devices, and Oppo could follow suit.
The smartphone market in 2010 is expected to be highly competitive, with numerous manufacturers releasing new models. Oppo’s entry into the Android smartphone market could be seen as a strategic move to diversify its product lineup and tap into the growing demand for smartphones.
