Check out OPPO’s newest trifecta of phones

Last night OPPO officially launched three of their newest phones in the Philippines during an event in BGC. The phones slot into the company’s entry-level and mid-range lineup. The Joy Plus, Neo 5 and R1x are meant to mix it up with other international brands though of the three the R1x is the one that really captures our attention.

The Joy Plus is your standard, entry-level 4-inch phone, bearing a 4-inch IPS display, 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6572 dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM.

The star of the night was undoubtedly OPPO R1x. The R1x manages to distinguish itself from its more affordable brothers and really, from the rest of similarly priced smartphones because of the very beautiful sapphire back. The way the back catches the light is fantastic, and adds another layer of style and class to an otherwise ordinary build. The frame of the R1x is also quite obviously made out of metal, and shares the same design language as the OPPO R5 that we reviewed a few months back.
