Kenya became the second country in Africa to roll out a commercial 5G network, which is set to improve customer experience with super high-speed internet, low latency, and massive connectivity that will completely change production, lifestyles, and the way we work in the next 10 years. People may be confused about what 5G can do, but when 4G first arrived about 10 years ago, no one could imagine that 4G would give birth to the mobile internet era.
The future development of 5G will not be limited to mobile communication technology; it will grow into a technology platform, or technology base that will merge and resonate with cutting-edge technologies including AI and cloud. 5G will develop and change in ways beyond imagination and provide countless possible technological futures.
Standing at the intersection of technology and humanity, OPPO is concerned about the real needs of today and tomorrow. We have always tried our best to help upgrade peoples’ lifestyles by upgrading communication technology, migrating from 3G and 4G to 5G.
As a pioneer and promoter of 5G, OPPO’s progressive technological strategy and continued R&D investment has accelerated 5G commercialization across the globe. OPPO is the first technology brand in the world to launch 5G mobile products. Through OPPO’s leading 5G technologies combined with the capabilities of strong local industry partners, OPPO offers many diverse 5G products including 5G mobile phones and 5G CPE in numerous markets across the globe.
As 5G is in its initial rollout stages in Kenya, OPPO is keen on playing a key role towards the growth of the network by availing more 5G-enabled devices in the country. The anticipated OPPO Reno6 device that will launch in Kenya early September will be our first 5G device coming through our distribution channels, and the most affordable.
