Verdict The Oppo Find X7 Ultra impresses on all fronts. It has a beautiful design, excellent screen, powerful performance and stunning cameras. It’s not likely to get an international launch, though, and the Chinese software is sure to cause frustration. Pros One of the best camera systems available Gorgeous design Powerful and speedy Cons Only […]
Verdict The Oppo Reno 10 hits all of the marks for an acceptable mid-range smartphone experience. Its display, performance, stamina, design, and camera all fall somewhere between ‘good’ and ‘good enough’. Other than its rapid charging and a dedicated telephoto camera, however, it doesn’t really stand out in a particularly competitive field. Pros Strong stamina […]
Verdict The Oppo A78 5G is another budget phone that boasts great battery life and decent performance even if the 720p display is a little soft. Much like the TCL 40R 5G, it shows that you don’t have to break the bank for a solid phone, even one with 5G connectivity. Pros All-day battery life […]
Verdict The Oppo Pad Air beats out the competition at its discounted <£200 price point, but the corners it cuts to get there still result in a slab that’s only good for general web browsing and use as a bedside Netflix binger or kitchen assistant. Pros microSD card support Little in the way of bloatware […]
Verdict Oppo cemented itself as one of the finest Android smartphone makers with the Find X5 Pro, so much so that it remains an attractive option a year after launch. It’s a rival to some of the best phones around and manages to take some risks in the process. Not all the pieces are winners, […]
Verdict The Oppo Reno 8 Pro is a highly capable mid-range phone, with a particularly lush screen and a strong main camera. However, its design isn’t all that practical and the secondary cameras don’t measure up that well to the leading sensor. Pros Great screen Strong main camera Speedy fast-charging Cons Overly glossy rear panel […]
The Oppo Find X5 Lite is an extremely competent all round mid-ranger, with a slim and light design, a competent camera, and speedy charging. However, it’s not the fastest, its display is nothing to write home about, and it generally lacks the single killer feature that its key rivals all have. Pros Decent all-rounder Competent […]
Verdict A well-rounded flagship phone that’s aimed squarely at the mainstream. The Find X5 offers a superb screen, excellent battery life, it takes great photos, and doesn’t suffer from the use of a previous-generation chipset. But while it’s priced to challenge the Galaxy S22, it lacks that phone’s refinement. For the best bang per buck, […]
The Oppo A16s is a budget phone with no thrills and precious little charm. For better and for worse, it’s a very cheap and generally inoffensive handset, achieving a base level of competence. But paying a smidgen more for your next phone seems advisable if at all possible. Pros Strong battery life Very cheap Decent […]
The Oppo A74 5G is another budget phone that pushes 5G connectivity to the fore. However, while it’s a competent all-rounder, it fails to stand out against its rivals in any other regard. Pros 5G connectivity Solid fingerprint sensor Relatively clean software Cons Mediocre performance Slower charging than some rivals Only a 90Hz LCD panel […]
