new markets with consecutive launches

to bringing cutting-edge technology and
innovative smartphone experiences to users

The launches mark a major milestone for

operations in Saudi Arabia and opened its
second regional hub for the Middle East
within the UAE.
During the launches, OPPO also announced
that it would be the official sponsor of the
International Cricket Confederation in 2019.
OPPO kicked off its first in a series of launch
events at the Tower Bridge in London on
January 29 with a theme of ‘The Time
is Now’. Highlighting its proprietary
SuperVOOC charging technology, flagship
Find X and the R-series, the leading
smartphone manufacturer also underscored
its commitment to the market with its plans
to open a Design Centre in the heart of
London to drive the design of limited-edition
products, undertake aesthetics research and
empower local creative talent.
Events held on January 30 and January 31
represent OPPO’s entry into its eighth and
ninth European market as the company
launched in Turkey and Poland, respectively.
The three new markets serve to provide a
more robust European ecosystem for the
leading smartphone brand.

furniture retailers. Thanks to Wirecard,
Segmüller offers its customers the
opportunity to conveniently pay invoices

not only provides the digital payment
technology, but also handles the
processing of payments. Wirecard is thus
driving forward the digitalisation of the
furniture industry and enabling Segmüller
to increase customer satisfaction with
more flexible payment options.
The mobile payment solution specially
developed for the furniture industry is
based on a combination of an app with
an mPOS device that works in conjunction
with mobile devices such as tablets
and smartphones. With the payment

experience. With innovative technology
such as Wirecard’s mobile payment
app, the company now offers even more
convenience and flexibility in the delivery
