  • Oppo R7S Review

     2016_oppor7s
    Welcome to the 2016 Oppo R7s review. The R7S is currently one of our favourite mobile phones and our current recommended budget smart phone.  Oppo is not a well known brand outside of China but is slowly gaining attention along with others like Huawei so it is a legitimate company and brand. We've looked at previous Oppo phones and came away impressed so when we where deciding on which was our best budget phone for the first half of 2016 we included the latest R7S and was the ultimate winner. In terms of construction the Oppo R7S is very well built. It's all metal and glass, feels good and the design itself is good to look at. However it is not completely high end as the chamfered edges and buttons are a little rough and look of the metal is not quite premium in our eyes. The design does lack the design flair of the Galaxy S7 although closer to the iPhone in terms feel. Nonetheless, overall though the R7S appearance is a standout in the price range and is more high end than mid-range too which will easily fool those who don't know the brand. In terms of hardware the Oppo R7S features 5.5 inch AMOLED screen while not the best looking in the market but for the price we have no complaints. For the price it is missing a some features like a fingerprint scanner and NFC but it does feature dual SIM and 4Gig of RAM which is impressive for the price range. The Oppo R7S has all the hardware essentials for the expected lifespan of 2 years. In terms of use the Oppo R7S the Andriod OS has a modified user interface called ColorOS. COlor OS is a interesting variation as it looks flat or ordinary, perhaps a kinder description would be dated. However it is smooth but strangely feels a little sluggish considering its spec list, there are probably some background apps that need to be optimised. Don't expect top range snappy performance but expect 'nothing to complain' about speed for the price. Apart from that it works really well for the price range. The Oppo R7S is a great budget phone as it has all the features you'd expect at a price you wouldn't. The materials and appearance helps so much it making the R7S ownership more desirable. There is very little to really complain about or discard it from any comparison for a decent mobile phone. Specifications

    When we use the term 'Budget' we mean great value and not cheap for the sake of cheapness. For example the iPhone 5s 16Gig selling for around $500 is not a Budget phone it's a bit of a rip off. Sure if you really wanted a iPhone and is currently the cheapest model and is in run out. A budget phone is one that is as capable of working and looking like a top range phone with minimal compromise and as good as a mid range phone without the cost. Mid range phones in 2016 are usually superseded top range phone that is a couple of years old so can be budget phone too but that's dependent on cost. The Budget phone also needs to be able to last 2 years. All things considered the winner of our Budget phone recommendation is the Oppo R7s. The Oppo R7s is Andriod OS phone and priced around the $450 mark as we write. (Review coming up next) It's spec list does not match the current top end models but its not a huge gap in spec and hits the mid range without the mid-range pricing. The screen quality and size along with the in the hand feel easily makes it the winner for a budget phone. Other features of the R7S features a metal body, dual sim, nice screen and camera fast Octa-core CPUs large RAM and expandable memory slot. When the Oppo R7S is combined with a pre-paid SIM specifically an appropriate $30 pre-paid plan, the ones with enough data and unlimited calls and text you're looking at a 12 month total cost of $810 and over 24 months $1,170 - in additional if you get a plan with roll over benefits there's plenty of credit left over for a additional music streaming and other apps you can actually buy!

  • Oppo R7 and R7 Plus, N1 Mini, Mirror 5s, Find 7a Review

    2015_oppo_1
    Welcome to our first group review. we decided to put this together as it was clear that every Oppo branded phone impressed us with their version of Android or general usability. Although Oppo is still a unknown phone brand in most parts of the world but we don't think that will be the case in a few years. The key selling point for Oppo is that it is a manufacturer of highly specified phones at relatively cheap prices compared to the competition. In terms of construction every model was put together very well. Even the N1 with its rotating camera felt solid and more importantly build to last more the a few months. That said none of the Oppo models truly felt like premium model in the vein of the industry leading Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. All the Oppos where more like a couple generations in terms of construction. In terms of hardware the screen on every Oppo, despite screen resolution looked great! All models have extra RAM so you can expect and do get decent performance regardless of what App you're running. Only your network's internet data speeds will effect your experience which is the way it should be. It is missing a few features we'd really like but a features like dual SIMs are worthy of note. In terms of use the Andriod OS has been customised but to an extent that it does not hinder performance. We thought the menu navigation in particular was slicker than what we've seen on many 'higher' spec'd phones. There are problems though and they are support and Andriod OS updates. However the availability of the Android Play App does help security and system problems but updating the entire OS is safest option, which Oppo does not seem to do very often. To conclude, the entire Oppo range for 2015 are very good choices. There is no particular model that we'd choose over the other except for screen size. Australia pricing of the Oppo range can vary but the following is the price guide at the time of this post: Oppo R7 Approx $450 Oppo R7 Plus Approx $599 Oppo N1 Mini Approx $320 Oppo Find 7a Approx $400 Oppo Mirror 5s Approx$250
