OPPO team up with Malaysian star Min Chen for limited edition R9S

China's OPPO, riding high on the success of the R9s, have teamed up with Malaysian star Min Chen to launch a special edition of the phone in Malaysia.

The special edition OPPO R9s comes with Min Chen's autograph on the rear... of course, laser-engraved. Besides, the rather striking red colour of the phone makes it stand apart from the 'standard' R9s.

Besides that, the special edition OPPO R9s will have four Min Chen postcards, a mini Min Chen human-standee, and a cartoon-style Min Chen phone cover inside the box. Moreover, the entire phone will be Min Chen themed -- including ringtones, wallpapers, and more.

The phone will be made available from Lazada at RM1,798 ($403).

As someone who's never bought limited-edition (themed) phones, I'd like to ask -- do they still sell in 2017? Reply in the comments section below.
