OPPO NEVER AGAIN – At First I thought it was a ok? phone. Then I discovered all the Spyware. Google Bombarding my phone. (AND OTHERS) Facebook (which I don't have) have 3 hidden apps that constantly spy. I'd Never Buy Another Oppo Again. And Never Use Google Again (which I haven't for months) YOU PAY FOR A PHONE, BUT CAN'T DELETE APPS, EVEN GOOGLE MICROPHONE WAS CONTINUALLY ON "FOR RESEARCH PURPOSE" or something to that effect.

Oppo does not honour their warranty – This phone and the service and back up of warranty from Oppo is the worst I have ever seen. Stay away from Oppo they do not honour their warranty not have they a workable product. Good luck to the once who ignored that message. To Oppo how about you provide my partner Debbie with a replacement phone who works, it’s now 3 weeks she tries to make it… Read more
work, spend to trips to the city and 3 trips to JB Hi-Fi it’s enough. The story goes on after sending it back to Oppo they could not find the fault, meanwhile my partner got a loan phone which worked perfectly fine with sending SMS messages. She got the phone returned and it is still randomly not sending messages. Altogether she spent 8 hrs and $100.- in fuel Togo back and forth. A company who cannot provide a replacement phone after such a long hassle back and forth should not be allowed to sell their product on the Australian market. Shame on you Oppo, next step is the consumer ombudsman.
Pretty decent phone! – Comparable to the Samsung models, but much cheaper. Excellent battery life. Camera quality can be a bit hit and miss. Apps run smoothly. Have been a Samsung user for many many years (aside from a brief stint with an iPhone that we don't speak about), am now converted to Oppo. Show details
Affordable – *It has long battery life *Budget Friendly *Great Durability *I like it when at night it has night shield that you can on, to protect your eyes. *It is the only phone that lasted for three years straight with me, and it's still working just fine. Show details
Good for price - minor issues – PRO - long battery life, came with screen protector and case, about right for budget $200 phone CON - colorOS is different to normal android, occasionally slow to wake up on incoming calls (needs a few swipes), camera etc not as good as more expensive phones Summary - good value if you just want a basic phone with long battery life for making… Read more
calls, however if you actually use your phone as a video recorder/camera/netflix streaming device regularly ( rather than just as a phone) maybe look for something more upmarket
OPPO A72 now Android 11 – It's a great phone which has just received the Android 11 update. It was cheap for $225 delivered. It has good speed, performance, size and price. And if you need 5G then look at the OPPO A72 5G. :) Show details
Bought Bremand New & Sealed But it's Not Brand New – Bought Brand New & Sealed in a box Aus Post! Has someone else photos in it!? Ripped Off!Buyer Beware! 48mp camera needs to be found! SD card can't be Default Has a Google search home screen Show details
Spend that little bit extra not happy – Bought and wasnt happy straight away, photo quality not good, videos are delayed, motion also doesnt match the sound. randomly tells me no network connection poor signal even though im on the same network as always - this is even inside my house, never had problems. Photos - got to always click on albums and select all when it should be all unless told otherwise. Sound is very poor and low even when on full, struggle with video calls mostly. Show details

Oppo A72 Great Bang For Buck – Purchased this phone after using iOS for several years. I was drawn by the specification and the astounding price. So, now after 6 weeks, I've learned a lot about Android and this phone. I like the phone and consider it to be a great value purchase. It has no 'showstopper' flaws. My issues are mainly with poor quality 3rd party android apps. The… Read more
form factor is a little large for me but I'm getting used to it. The phone itself comes with a screen protector already applied - very cool. The battery life is above average - I can go two full days and still have charge left. The quad camera is fine (the main one). The others have a reduced pixel count and this is clearly stated in the specs but does give you the wide-angle or tele-photo option albeit slightly degraded. The OS presents you with many more options to control the phone - it can be overwhelming and at time frustrating as iOS in many respects is simpler. But if you like to play with phone settings, this is the OS for you. If I have to be critical I find the phone a little 'laggy' when doing video type tasks quickly or ironically watching football on the Optus Sports app. The snapdragon processor is a little short on grunt - but for all other things it's fine - 128gb of memory makes things easier. I have no issues with people calling me; hanging up; entering passwords (I use Gmail without issue); fingerprint ID or facial recognition - they all work as documented. My only other beef is in comparison to iOS installed apps - iMovie for example spoils you. It's free, it works well, and is well designed and intuitive. To get an Android equivalent, you have to trawl through a maze of rubbish negotiating freeware, shareware, subscription based efforts from a range of people or companies I've never heard of . . but that's not a phone issue. A good phone at a great price.
Faulty !! – Faulty phone so many issues with making and receiving calls. Calls diverted automatically and after hours texting Optus team they managed to get it to make calls but call quality very poor. Took SIM out and into my old Samsung and it worked perfectly. Camera quality is not good despite 4 cameras on the back. Hard phone to navigate. Wished I… Read more
bought a Samsung. Have to drive 50 klms away to try take it back because the Optus store I bought it from does not "do returns" Annoyed.
Excellent Smartphone; Great Value for a Modest Price – Bought the Oppo A72 from Optus. I was hesitant and sceptical as I was an iPhone user for 8+ years. Hence, moving to Android and a new brand was a significant step, so I decided to go with a 'budget' phone. I was, and remain, pleasantly surprised. The first 2 hours were totally strange, but once I got to 'know' the phone, I was gradually 'hooked'… Read more
by its elegance, simplicity, design, smooth gestures, fast interface, user-friendliness, brilliant screen, 48MB camera, build quality and did I mention Android 10 with Dark Mode! After the 1st battery charge, the phone lasted 3 DAYS with daily usage.
This is nowhere near a 'budget' phone! This is a high-end phone disguised for affordability. No wonder Oppo are winning customer satisfaction surveys.
Faulty phone, too many issues! Don't believe the fake positive reviews – I purchased this phone new from the Optus website, going to return it tomorrow. Read tonnes of "positive" reviews but after purchasing the phone realised they were prob all fake and many people have been unhappy with this phone according to the Optus help forum on their website. Here are the list of issues with the Oppo A72: 1. When someone… Read more
calls, nothing displays on the screen so its impossible to answer the call, phone just rings 2. When you call someone you are unable to hang up as nothing displays on the screen, no in-call functions 3. When trying to enter passwords on gmail, google play app etc it repeatedly asks you to enter the password even though you have entered it correctly, nothing happens then it locks you out of your account. 4. Phone rings out loud when on silent mode 5. Cant click on albums in gallery, nothing happens when you press the folders so you cant see the pics in the folders 6. No Finger print recognition on screen, you have to put your thumb on the lock screen button on the right side of the phone (HUGE issue when using your phone) Makes it difficult to unlock apps easily. 7. You have to swipe up if you want to log in via facial recognition (With samsung its automatic)
You may as well buy the Samsung A70, Its a MUCH better phone for the same price. I wasted 7 hours setting up my apps and transferring data only to find out this phone is terrible. Wish me luck trying to get a refund. N.N
