In light of the enhanced community quarantine implemented over Luzon and in efforts to support not only their customers but also the nation's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, two of the top smartphone brands in the Philippines - realme and OPPO - are offering their own nationwide warranty extension program for all of their devices with ensuring the health and safety of their employees and upholding the best interests of their customers as their top priority in order to serve better in these tough times.



With the top priority in mind, realme service centers in Luzon are temporarily non-operational until further notice while those in Visayas and Mindanao are still open while strictly following the protocols of their respective local government units. realme devices with warranty slated to be expired within the duration of the ECQ are given seven days extension after the quarantine, while customers whose gadgets have a replacement period expiring within the ECQ period can have their devices replaced three days after the lifting of the month-long quarantine.

OPPO's nationwide warranty extension program for its customers and dealers affected by the imposed ECQ covers provisions on repair services and device and accessories replacement policies. Devices with warranty expiry dated March 9, 2020 until the end of the quarantine period will be granted a two-month extension period which will take effect once the ECQ is lifted while devices purchased between March 1st and 20th will be granted an extended replacement term of seven days effective after the ECQ. However, the customer shall provide required documents and proofs for the claims of factory defects for the consideration of the extension. On the other hand, OPPO has temporarily ceased operations of its service centers and concept stores in the affected areas across the country since the implementation of the ECQ period.
