God did not disappoint people, Tran Minh Vinh was accepted into the Faculty of Electronic and Information Engineering of Zhejiang University with excellent results. When he was about to graduate from university, he did an internship at Subor. There, he met Doan Vinh Binh - a mentor who had a great influence on his life.

It is also because of his outstanding ability that he has captured the attention of Doan Vinh Binh. Working in Subor helped Tran Minh Vinh lay a foundation for himself, where he learned a lot of basic knowledge. When Doan Vinh Binh left Subor to prepare to join BBK, Tran Minh Vinh chose to leave with Doan Vinh Binh.

Initially, OPPO was producing DVDs. Unlike the people who made fake and poor quality goods at that time, OPPO pursued the motto "beauty". DVDs that the company makes are always very thin and beautiful. By 2016, Tran Minh Vinh realized that DVD production was not a long-term solution and he planned to switch to another product. He toured the area of Huaqiang North - one of the largest electronics markets in the world - to learn how to make a mobile phone. Said and done, he went to his favorite employee, and gave him two years to study mobile phones.

Regardless of expectations, OPPO has found its own character, the first phone to enter the phone market with a price of about 200 USD, and the product is completely worth the price. It must be added that at that time, this $ 200 phone was not a smartphone like today, but just a feature phone. However, the phone has a very nice design and is extremely water resistant.

In 2012, mobile communication has undergone tremendous changes, and the advent of the 3G era has had a significant impact on OPPO.
