Oppo reportedly uploaded a couple of video ads for promoting its ColorOS 6 earlier this week. The Chinese smartphone giant then took the videos down after facing criticism for how lame the ads were. The folks at Android Police, however, managed to save the videos before they got deleted from Oppo’s Twitter account.
The cringefest doesn’t end here. In the second ad, Oppo casts the same pair of actors, but now, they’re in an office. By the looks of it, the lady takes the role of a boss or a person in a superior job role. She enquires the man about his new secretary for which he states that she (spoiler alert- ColorOS) always reads his mind and says “she accompanied me throughout the day till bedtime”.
I honestly did not see this one coming from OPPO, a company that takes ad campaigns very seriously. If you live in India, you know what I’m talking about. The streets are flooded with Oppo’s banners and ads. If they had invested a bit of time and thought process while making the ad, it would not have ended up in the trash.
