Has more bad than good – Bought this to replace Samsung A32. I picked this primarily for the Storage, RAM, price and wanted a 3.5mm jack. After using for a few weeks now have come across serious limitations with the software/OS. No matter what I try (believe me I have tried) you cannot have an alarm run for more than 5 seconds, even if its a MP3. Google to see others… Read more
complaining about this. Major issue missing alarms if you dont carry it 24/7. This is a biggie for me You also cannot save photos to SD card. The camera app has no option in settings for this.
The Oppo A77 didn't last 3 years before becoming totally obselete – Monday 20 December 2021. Awful fone. I purchased this in 2017 and it only updated to Android 6 (ColorOS V3.0.0i). Android 6 is obselete, and so my fone is obselete. The fone functions but the operating system made the fone useless for me. I dislike ColorOS. It adds nothing of value. Just branding. Yesterday I purchased a Nokia G50 with… Read more
Andorid 11, and guarantee of two more releases. So I will get to Android 13. That will last some years too.
Compare that with the Oppo A77 that was obselete upon release as it never updated. "It already has the latest version".
Now into 2022, the Nokia G50 has a clean Android version, is G5 and WiFi 6 capable. Has NFC and facial recognition.
The Oppo A77 didn't last 3 years before becoming totally obselete.
I will never buy the Oppo brand again. The value is simply not there.
Amazing phone – been using this phone for over a year now and has always run very smoothly, only just cracked the screen and it is only a minor crack that did not shatter. Very resistant phone. Show details
Love my phone – I got this phone about 9 months ago and I love it. The size is perfect and the fingerprint is so fast. The only downside is that fingerprint will not work if hands are wet or oily (not sure if iPhone is the same). The features, unfortunately, are not the same or better than oppo f1 which was my first phone, which is sad. The camera quality seems… Read more
less good than the f1 too which is weird because it's newer. The battery life is good and apps run smoothly. I've noticed that the built-in software takes over 3rd party apps such as swiftkey and nova launcher. overall, good phone, but not worth the 400 I paid. Its probably cheaper now.
Good Reliable Phone at a Great Price – Went to this phone after a Windows phone that Microsoft stopped supporting. I did not want to pay over $1000 for some of the other offerings and was impressed by the reviews of the Oppo. Even though this is my first Android phone, I have found it easy to use and navigate through the settings. The battery is great and is good for 2 days use. I… Read more
was having some issues with voice mail, but this was an ISP issue and has been resolved by changing to another provider.
The phone comes with its own plastic case and it is not pretty but very funtional. I dropped it onto tiles at the weekend and there was no damage at all.
It is not the best phone on the market, but it is reliable and great value for the price.
It is as fast as my Son's Iphone 7s and just as reliable at roughly half the price.
I would not hesitate to recommend Oppo to anyone. Very pleased with it.
There's nothing wrong with it, but it's not impressive – I had this phone for about 3 months before deciding that a more stock android experience (like that offered by Samsung and Motorola) would be a better option. It does everything to the level of it being functional, but it will never impress you in any way. You'll find the operating system very intuitive in some ways, like the gestures to open… Read more
the camera when the phone is locked. BUT you'll find it equally frustrating in other ways, like the in-built blue light filter not having adjustable on/off times and resetting to it's default strength every day.
I also found the GPS signal would drop out sometimes, not frequently enough to claim it was broken, but often enough to be annoying.
I've since moved to a samsung galaxy s8, which is double the price, but really does do everything twice as well (if not much more).
I think OPPO will be good phones in the future, but I'd wait a couple of years.
Fantastic for the price – I was liking to buy a phone out right. Sick to the neck with 2 year contract. For $299 this is a fantastic phone. I have always had Samsung flagship phones, and was worried of dropping the quality I have enjoyed for years. Although I miss Samsung, there was no alternative for money. Fast, fantastic screen and so far photos look great. Show details
Perfect phone – I bought Oppo A7 two months ago. It is a perfect phone with a high resolution camera. The performance is the best and just need two hours for full charging. No lag and good streaming of videos or watching movies. You can get a best phone with a reasonable price. Show details
Underrated! – Oppo phones are usually underrated and unknown. However they are great in so many ways. They are user friendly to begin with so that is great for those who aren't as tech friendly. The camera quality is also a plus and a joy to use. Altogether this phone was a great purchase. Show details
Good reliable smart phone – Basically, you pay for cheap decent price for Apple iphone look alike phone :) Overall, I am impressed by the quality of photos taken with its camera and the whopping long hours battery life. I normally just use my phone for surfing the internet and make some phone calls and it literally last me for 2 and a half days. So, if you are looking for… Read more
a reliable phone that gives you long battery life smart phone, go for Oppo A77. You will not regret after your purchase.
Perfect for dual sim use in Australia – Does not run on Android operating system, but operates much like my Samsung S6. Works perfectly on 3G and 4G network as most dual sim phones use 2G network which renders a dual sim phone useless now that 2G is unavailable. Removable battery and SD card insert slot. Comes with great quality clear silicone cover. Show details
Good value for money but a bit buggy – The Oppo A77 is good value for money, this was our pick over a Samsung Galaxy S7 however like the other S7 we own it's not of the same quality, there have been niggling little issues like SMS's not coming through and some setting difficult to find, that said overall a good phone great value for its price point, ticks all the boxes feature wise. Show details
Great Android, fantastic camera – Got this for Christmas and love it ! Fantastic camera takes fabulous pics Easy to drive and happy with it thus far It has a dual sim whch is brilliant for a self employed person like me Was able to import all my contacts etc via google (email) Battery life is good Good selection of ring tones etc Show details

Good specs for the price but do your research – I picked this up as an emergency replacement for my old Google Nexus 5X. I'm still getting used to the phone but I can say it's quite painful going from Android 8.1 all the way back down 6.0. I believe this model is getting up to around 12 months old but Android 6.0 is now 3 years old. From what I've read Oppo are very slow at releasing Android… Read more
updates. Had I known this it may have been a deal-breaker.
Camera, general speed of phone and the ability to carry 2 SIM cards and a SD card are all positives.
However, the lack of a NFC chip is also a drawback, especially as paying with your phone becomes more common.
Overall I'm finding the phone significantly harder to use than previous pure Android experiences. Information widgets (such as the Pocket Weather app) aren't working at all. I also like to keep my apps down to just 2 screens and hide everything else. I can group apps but haven't yet worked out how to hide them. I'm also having problems with clearing notifications from messaging apps. I'm currently reading up on tips and instructions, which is not something I normally need to do.
A reasonable phone for cost – I purchased my Oppo A77 as a replacement for a Samsung S8 which I sold to cover other expenses./ It took me awhile to get used to it but am happy with the results. It takes good photos which are really clear. When I first got it I set up a security grid on it and promptly forgot the grid. I was travelling from Brisbane to Melbourne and was able… Read more
to go via Oppo's NSW warehouse to get it reset which was great. It would have taken a couple of weeks to do it by post.
Value for money, everything you want in a smartphone – This phone is the second Oppo phone in the household. The photo quality is very good and the many photo setting options i.e. panorama, normal, beautify, filters, flash, time lapse, double exposure, timer, gesture, voice activated video, collage are more than adequate for standard photography. The first battery charge takes 2 hours but the… Read more
succeeding recharge takes 30 minutes if I recharge when battery is less than 30%. Internet connectivity is fast and lets you know when you are online or offline if you set notifications ON. The only thing I can not change is the sound for notifications, it is the same for both our Oppo F1s and A77. Apps update automatically so no need to check for updates. Another feature i like is the no disturb mode where you can set the phone to turn on to mute at certain time on weekdays, weekend or special event. I have my social media, emails, calendar, skype activated on messenger so it is not only a phone but also an organiser/PA. I always sign off my apps so if I accidentally lose the phone no one can access my account and it does not use mobile data if I am not at home. The phone signs you in automatically when you activate the app. It came with a clear protective case, anti-scratch film and Gorilla glass screen. Screen aspect ratio is very good. The finger print unlock does not always work, do not know if it has something to do with the screen sensitivity. However there is a backup personalised Pattern to unlock the phone. No need to unlock phone when answering calls which makes it very convenient when you are in a hurry. For exactly the same features described above this is very good value in fact half the price of the expensive brands. I am very happy with the phone and recommends it highly. Beware of ebay retailers based in Malaysia. They advertised they are affiliated with an Australian company and warehouse is based in Sydney but this is not correct as there is no office address and phone in Australia. These retailers will accept your order and payment but will not deliver after a string of alibis that they did not receive the order due to computer glitch, box is damaged thus courier will not accept and out of stock so further delays. I also read in ebay reviews that these sellers also sell refurbished phones. Buy only from legitimate Australian sellers.
Pretty impressed with this phone – Pretty impressed with this phone after dropping another Iphone in water I did not want to pay for another Iphone! So i searched for a similar phone for a cheaper price! This phone was my choice :) and I am really happy with it. Great camera and a really nice looking phone people often think I still have an Iphone. Sometimes it does… Read more
freeze as I am a heavy phone user and like to put lots of apps on my phone so I think if you are used too using alot of applications you might not want this phone but other then that it was worth every penny and I enjoyed the saving :)
