UPDATE 31/07 - Just received the Android 10 / Color OS 7 update!
After being an iPhone user for nearly 10 years, I was very dubious about making the switch to Android particularly as I tried an Android phone about 8 years ago and just couldn't get on with it so switched back to iOS and have been an iOS user since, well up until now. The good news is Android has come on leaps and bounds and I found the change very easy and actually probably prefer Android now.
To the handset itself. Again I was a bit dubious as I had never heard of Oppo but with the phone specs offered at the recent Amazon sale price of £269 I thought it's got to be worth a try. I thought I can always send it back if it's rubbish.
When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Oppo packaging, very nice and as good as any iPhone I have ever bought. The handset itself is also very well made it feels quality, so no complaints there.
The features you get in this phone are incredible given the price point.
6.5" Amoled screen (notchless) The selfie camera is a pop up 'sharksfin' camera, which is quite cool.
Very good quality Ultrawide camera, 5 x Hybrid zoom which I find sharp up to 5 x zoom. Portrait mode with adjustable Bokeh. 4K 30fps or 1080p 60fps video. The Bokeh mode also works with video. OIS & EIS.
256Gb of storage expandable up to 512Gb with a micro SD card.
8Gb RAM.
Dual SIM.
4000 mAh battery. I have found the battery life to be very good.
Fast charging (Fast charger included).
Headphone socket (Headphones also included).
The phone comes pre-fitted with a screen protector and also included in the box is a good quality phone case, which is just as well as the choice of aftermarket cases is limited. I have also managed to buy an aftermarket silicon case (took a bit of finding) which makes the phone feel much more manageable in the hand than with the included case fitted.
Of course there are some minor downsides.
No 5G but you can't expect it at this price. I live in rural Wales anyway so am lucky to even get 4G!
No wireless charging. Doesn't bother me.
Single speaker, but the sound quality is fine.
The Snapdragon 730G processor is not fastest, but perfectly fine for the kind of stuff I use it for. Again you can't expect the latest super fast processor at this price.
Running Android 9, but it seems an Android 10 update is imminent.
I still can't get over how cheap this handset is, it's amazing. Even at the normal price it is still excellent value for money.

Colour: BlueVerified Purchase
*1+ month update: A month down the line the work is still working great especially with the new is update (color 7) I had notice that apps were crashing regularly but this has fixed it. A simple but very welcome asthetic change is the finger print sensor which looks much better and sleeker now. Battery life in this phone is amazing and the camera wow, the envy of most of my friends.
I should start by saying that I've only had the phone a full day so this review is purely on first impressions. Coming from the Samsung S range I was sceptical about taking a leap of faith and trying out one of the lesser known brands.. and I'm so glad I did!
If you are looking for a smart phone that will do all the basic stuff and more brilliantly whilst having an amazing quirky camera, clean and vibrant full screen with no notches with great battery life. This is the phone for you.
Pros
Nice sleek packaging and good presentation
Ultra fast charging
Free case which is actually decent
Easy step by step set up and clear instructions if how to transfer of data from either Android or apple
Price! Got this one sale so what a steal!
Camera is fantastic, good typical features you'd expect, good wide angel camera and surprisingly good night mode.
Phone looks and feels premium flag ship
Cons
Color OS is not the greatest and some may find it clunky compared to your apple and Samsung.
No Android 10 update in UK so far. However, there is talk that color 7 will be releasing is a far better experience
Finger print sensor is good but does take a bit longer than I'd like. Not sure how much I like the glowing fingerprint animation either but time will tell
Other newer phones such as the Samsung M31 offer more at this price point.
Overall I am more than happy with my purchase so far and impressed with Oppo. I will update in a few months
