Yes they do not, because they are fully b2b company now, and probably will stay there. They for sure do not live out of patents as you think, or well, seem to think.

        Nokia dead in the phone industry, behemoth in the Cellular one 🤣

India and most of Asia are growth market with plenty of young population buying their first smartphones. Oppo’s strength is working with resellers in 2nd and 3rd tier cities.

Oppo payed after sued Nokia recently in China to settle this patent issue, and we know what happened recently.

            Also India Market isn't More profitable than Whole EU, especially to Oppo who has like 11% marketshare.

                They don't exist the same way they used to. That sums it up

If they did, they would've striked a deal with Nokia many moons ago. They just did it now because Nokia was taking the lawsuits to Asia where Oppo is making a lot of money. If Nokia didn't do that, Oppo wouldn't care and the EU market is not really attractive.

                      potato4k, 07 Feb 2024Fact is Oppo did leave the EU.

So for few years they benefit of Huawei Absense. Now Huawei comeback means Oppo sales are declining in China, they have to Go somewhere else to grow.

Oppo had 6% of that market, that's around 10M device per year, not Small amount to lose, also it's profitable, probably 10M unit sold in Europe is more profitable than 30M sold in Africa or some parts of Asia.

                              Wow, I didn't know the Nokia logo got massacred. I don't even think it's nostalgia, but the old one looks way nicer.

                                    Also, many components that do not even exist.

                                    Am I right?
