Excellent phone for the first 12 months – Brilliant phone to start with, battery life is incredible but after 12 months it lags, the camera's slow, it drops out, freezes and has to be rebooted at least once a day. I wish I'd bought another Samsung which has better features and camera features. It's hard to turn off to reboot as well, it won't restart and it takes sometime to be able to switch it off, then switch it back on. The keyboard function is most annoying and if you get annoyed with typos, this phone will drive you insane. I'm disappointed and will be buying another Samsung.
Purchased in at The Good Guys for $289.
An Interesting Android Phone with iPhone iOS like overlay – Want an android phone that....... Looks like an iPhone 7 ? Runs like an iPhone7 ? Takes photos as good as iPhone 7 or even the Samsung S7? Then this phone is your answer! Designed for easy transition from iPhone to Android. The operating system is so easy to use. Its just like iOS.... ....The Control panel is there. ....The Notification Panel is there. ....The PassCode is there. ....Even the iOS like camera app and photo quality is there. And yes you swipe from left to right to get to the other apps. The build quality is up there too - Glass front with aluminium back. The only thing that isnt up there is the PRICE! And the battery lasts for so long that it beats both the iPhone 7 and Samsung S7 hands down.
PLUS this phone has the 2 things missing from iPhones... its full DUAL SIM plus a Memory card expansion slot. AND it has an OctaCore Processor!
Yes this phone is the best of both worlds It brings the best of iOS and Android together into one phone.
A COUPLE OF THINGS YOU MAY NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS PHONE Unlike other Android phones the customization of this phone is very limited. The most annoying thing is the very basic messaging app. You cannot change the look or the font size or the colours and you cant swap it for a downloaded one either. The Oppo OS just wont allow it. Same goes with the launcher. If you change it to another launcher to customize the look and feel of the phone it goes back to the factory oppo launcher. Now if you think you can just root this phone and then do whatever you like to customize it, then think again. You cannot root this phone either. However if you dont make habit of rooting your phone or customizing the look of your phone then no problems whatsover. Everything actually works very well!
