\tOppo looked set to be preparing to expand its mid-tier K series smartphone range after filing a host of trademark requests with European authorities, Letsgodigital reported.<\/p>\n
The Netherlands-based news outlet stated Oppo had presented 22 requests to the European Union Intellectual Property Office covering a host of K series devices, which would expand on the current K1 and K3 models. Letsgodigital added approval for four models, K70, K80, K90 and K100, had already been granted.<\/p>\n
Pocket-Lint explained the significance of Oppo\u2019s move, noting its K series is essentially the vendor\u2019s challenger for Huawei\u2019s Honor brand, offering high-tier features at a mid-level price point.<\/p>\n
Letsgodigital added Oppo filed the requests last week, around the same time as the K3 went on sale. The K1 was made available in China in late 2018, with other markets added in March, the news site noted.<\/p>\n
