Chinese factory tour video: here's how Oppo builds its flagship smartphones

When we ripped that Oppo Reno 10x Zoom apart, we wanted to see how the manufacturer had managed to pack so much cool tech into such a slim body. But we weren't satisfied with stopping there. We jumped on a plane and went to Shenzhen to visit the Oppo Industrial Park in Dongguan to see how the Chinese company builds the Reno 10x Zoom in the first place.

Not only did we see the production line at the factory, starting with the PCB manufacturing process and following it right through to the packing and boxing of the final product, but we also saw how the phones are tested. At Oppo's Quality Engineering Lab, we were given a behind-the-scenes look at the horrifying torture these phones go through before the design is deemed worthy of being sold to consumers. There were a few surprises along the way, and it was a fascinating experience.

Then we visited the brand's flagship store in the tech district in downtown Shenzhen to learn more about Oppo's philosophy and the way it presents its products to consumers. We also spoke to engineers and Oppo employees along the way, to dig deep into what makes this company tick. You can watch our journey above.
