Oppo R9S (2016)

Oppo perfect – I bought my Oppo mobile 2yrs ago. I like the big screen takes perfect pictures and it is easy to use.Never had problems with the mobile device. It also has two sim cards which is ideal for international travels. Show details

Oppo- most under rated brand – I purchased the oppo r9s plus and was I love straight away The camera was really good, the phone was fast and really reliable. The apps began to glitch after a while however the update quickly fixed that. Show details

Terribly slow, – Faster cheaper phones are available. Terribly slow,especially running apps. Suspect search engine directing all searches through a built in tool, (China?). Touch screen membrane is solid but clunky. Thumbs down Show details

Great phone – I purchased this phone for my birthday and the phone is great. The functions a are simple and easy to control and runs well with big size apps like online games. The phone might struggle if you have very little space left (only4me). The phone has a nice fast bootup, Personal hotspot is great but does not have a ALLOW/DENY devices who use the PH.… Read more

DO NOT SPEND ALL DAY IN A APPLICATION LIKE YOUTUBE WITH THE SCREEN LEVEL UP BECUASE YOU WILL GET A SCREEN BURN. This phone is a great tool in your pocket to use. Built-in anti-virus scan works well but I think I might just stick to anti-virus I downloaded from the play store because it has updates frequently as well new security threats get discovered and the database is updated. I just prefer to download the anti virus app because the phone patches might take a while to be released but with my preferred app patches and threat detections get updated frequently. I like the off screen gesture, fingerprint, button layout and easy to navigate through settings. I think homescreen search should have more, like search for files on storage like I have a pdf file on the phone storage and I wanted to use the homescreen search because it would seem to be faster instead of using a built-in file search app aswell downloaded file search apps. The verification code for accessibility restricts some apps to function correctly because when you turn on the option for that app to use the accessibility and when you exit then a couple minutes later the option gets switch off. I think there should be more options to turn off the verification code and the 5000MB Daily reminder. The phone is great and I am still using even after dropping it a few times.

Great phone for the price – I have the R9s Plus, same phone but larger screen, also comes with 6gig ram and 64 gig storage. I needed a bigger screen as my eyes are not as good now. I find this a great phone, easy to use and no problems with Color OS overlay. Have used iPhone and Samsung in the past so no issue using Oppo. My wife who is IT challenged also has no problem… Read more

with her Oppo.

Camera is good with no issues except low light conditions. Samsung is better.

Display is easy to read and nice and bright. I run my brightness down low to extend battery life.

Since having the large display, I don’t use my iPad as often for day to day use now.

Oppo is used for calling, messaging, Android Auto and Geocaching and all apps run smoothly.

But i gave this phone 4 stars and not 5 because of two problems;

1) When sending a picture, the phone converts it to a MMS and not a JPEG which is very annoying. Have searched settings but cannot find where to change it.

2) On phone manual is very poor and only gives basic operating instructions. Customer Service is very poor as the Aussie phone number goes through to China and their understanding of English is basic.

Otherwise this is a good phone that is at least half the price of a Samsung or Apple.

Mediocre phone with terrible software – I had high hopes for this phone. It felt nice in the hand, has 4G of RAM and 64G of storage, accepts an SD card, screen was nice though not as good as higher end, good battery life, good screen size at 5.5", fingerprint sensor was accurate and fast, and being Android, I could modify it to my liking.................wrong! The real problem with… Read more

this phone is the OS, called ColorOS. It is meant to mimic an iPhone so that Chinese buyers can pretend they have one. It is NOT an Android phone because Oppo has so badly written the OS, it is not flexible at all.

The launcher cannot be changed, other than temporarily; it will always revert to the ColorOS, sometimes after a week and sometimes only after using a single app, but it will ALWAYS revert. Some apps do not work or work properly. Some apps, meant to be active in the background, will not function.

First impressions of this phone are great, but it all falls apart as soon as you start to use it. Also note, all of this is applicable to all Oppo phones which use ColorOS. Be warned!

Oppo R9 – great storage space the add on O/S gives it a IPhone look quick battery charging 3% to 75% in about 15 mins batter charge not bat 2.5 days with a couple of calls internet usage an6 txt good screen resolution and colour uses standard mini usb cables good size screen light to carry 20 megapix camera Show details

The best phone – I have had all manner of different phones and the one problem I have had is that they tend to be so bloody fragile, it doesn't take much to drop them and then you have to pick it up not looking at the screen praying it is ok. Well I am here to tell you I don't have to do that with this phone, it seems to be indestructible. My 7 year old and 3 year… Read more

old have dropped it from a variety of heights on all types of surfaces and it has not cracked the screen. This phone has a great size screen and is incredibly user friendly, not to mention it is excellent value for money, The battery life is the best I have ever had, I charge my phone every few days. I use my phone to help keep my life and my families life in order, when I do need a new phone I will be simply upgrading to a new OPPO, no more experimenting with other phone brands.

Stopped working – Oppo R9s Sent for repair after 12 months they excepted repair as they said it had a charging issue after waiting 3 weeks we got it back and it was the same there is no change phone won’t work the repairer told my son now they don’t think they will except it again  Show details

Worse phone will not fix under warranty! – My phone was purchased in December 2017. About 6 weeks ago it decided to work intermittently. I took it in to get fixed and was told it would not be fixed due to severe water damage. This phone had NEVER been exposed to water. I believe that they are not built to withstand QLD humidity. Waste of money - do not buy!  Show details

Rubbish Phone the Oppo, don't buy it – The most un user friendly phone I've ever purchased. Cannot add Android messages at all. Pathetic! The default message app they have is terrible. Cannot bulk delete and finding delete button is buried deep. Getting rid of, going back to Samsung. Was told it was just like a Samsung, you have got to be kidding.  Show details

Great phone for the price – I've had Android phones for years. I had a Samsung S7, before that a Samsung S5 and before that a HTC One X and when my Samsung S7 keeps randomly shutting down and restarting constantly I knew I needed to get a new phone and I didn't want to spend a lot of money and my sister and her boyfriend had Oppos and raved about them so I decided to give it… Read more

a go and so I've had it a year and a half and it took a bit of getting used to at first because it's a bit like a cross between an iPhone and Android and it doesn't have some features that the Samsung has but all in all it's a really good phone. It's a really good phone for the price, it looks great, it works great and probably the only downside is that it doesn't have some features that the Samsung has but for the price you can't beat it.

Such a great phone, my brains trust! – I'm not a tech person, just an everyday user. I've had this phone for a couple of years now, and find it's the perfect blend of "useful" for me without being too complex. The screen is big enough to read maps and notes. The camera is great, with choices of resolution and settings. Love the Bluetooth to my car, calendar to remind me of things to… Read more

attend, all my contacts, emails, internet to find info I need, music to listen to, calculator for checking stuff, weather reports, flashlight, games, notes, my movie collection, and so much more; in fact everything I could possibly need is right there. And if I haven't got it, I can get an app for it. The only thing missing is a cattle prod for protection!

Awesome phone – I've tried apples, Samsung's and everything in between but this phone, id have to say, is the best phone I've had since the old Nokia's! The camera is great, has a beauty lease too, which is really handy. I have dropped it numerous times, and the screen still hasn't broken.. It's really a good phone for the price. Easiest way to describe it, is a cross between an iPhone and a Samsung!  Show details

Great – Great little device with a screen not too big but also clearly visible. Tough machine but still needs a case for extra protection. Features work great and loading time is excellent. Easy and understand layout of phone features. Great amount of storage and built in cache cleaner. Camera is of fine quality.  Show details

Great everyday phone – Had this Oppo R9 for almost the last two years and it still works and functions great. Has never slowed down or got stuck. Looks just like an iphone and has plenty of amazing features. It has one of the fastest finger print scanners in the world, has a great battery which charge's up in no time and last a while.  Show details

Perfect – Best phone for price. Honestly these are so better compared to major brand names. Not had one issue ever, no problem and a hassle free phone. All members in our house now use oppo, from adults to fussy teenages who want the best. No issues running other 3rd party apps or accessories.  Show details

Quality phone - good battery life – I took some convincing to finally take the plunge and buy tis - I guess I a a bit of a brand conservative but four months ion I am a definite convert - this is a heck of a good phone for the money and a pleasure to use. Screen is just outstanding and camera is on point too. I got over dyas battery life and I am a heavy user. Dont think twice! This phone really is good.  Show details

Suprisingly good – Have been using it for more than a year, no issues really. Specifications are pretty good compared to most other quite expensive phones on the market. It receives regular updates for Android releases which are a bonus. Only downside would be the default home screen pretending to be Apple but still well worth the buy.  Show details

Best value for money – Have been using it for more than a year. Haven't had any issues. Specs are best and comparable to most other ridiculously expensive phones in the market. Gets regular updates for Android releases which is a major plus. Only downside would be the default home screen which mimics iOS but confusing for Android super users.  Show details

Repair Service – Bought this phone almost 2 years ago, and has been a really great phone best one I have owned by far, just lately the camera had been playing up. Sent the phone to repair place in Sydney Monday and will have it back Friday at no cost to me at all, Well Done. Excellent service for a near 2 year old phone  Show details

Excellent phone and online service – This was my first smart phone so I needed a little guidance. I found that when I emailed Oppo, I had a prompt and helpful answer. There were no problems with the phone, I just needed help with how to do various things, or where to find information. The online staff were always courteous and helpful. I actually tried them out before purchasing… Read more

the phone. It is lovely and slim, and seems to me to be just as good as an iphone, only half the price.

Love it! – Bought a year ago while upgrading the Huawei. Oppo still operates like new. Never want another phone - it has made life so much easier from printing, fitness alarms, wifi heater...I have added a few apps & it still runs fast. Wasn't loaded with unnecessary apps, charges within an hour, games run fast, video/ photos very clear, Im not a techie so… Read more

if you want reliable, easy, compatible with other devices then this is great. I got the glass screen protector which doesn't fit properly & my techie friends said I didn't need it. Love the screen size too

Nice phone – Nice phone for reasonable price. All the great feature and best qualities in budget phone unlike otther expensive brands. Why pay high if you can get everything within reasonable price. Im am pretty much done with iphones and samsung. Overall very good mobile phone with all premium qualities and features.  Show details

Good low cost phone with excellent battery & 4GB RAM and plenty storage – I have this unit as a work phone. The battery life and charge times are outstanding. The sound quality is fine, and the camera is OK for most things. Its android so plenty of Apps and the phone performs operations well. The OPPO software is a bit limited and needs to be improved before I would spend more on an OPPO than this device, but for all the standard uses of a phone its a really good buy.  Show details

Great value for money – Would highly recommend Oppo to anyone looking for a new phone. Whether your an Apple user or Android you will fin the operating system easy to get used to. They are also much cheaper than your big brand Android phones and Apple products. Haven't had any issues with speed, the fast charging option is great and the battery lasts.  Show details

Good value for money – good value for money Agree with most other reviews. Great phone if you are not looking for absolute top of the range. Pros: Fast charging is great Awesome screen size Cons Does not support nfc (touch payments with your mobile) Unknown level of support (Chinese phone) Overall would recommend this phone  Show details

Look its a decent phone, and it gets the job done – I use this phone mainly to play a pretty graphic intensive online mobile game, and it handles it so well! Does not overheat like my old iphone. Many People have complimented the camera (works best in decent light) The rapid charge is so handy, plug it in for 15 mins and bang at 90% Yes its got its Operating System glitches, but hey its cheap… Read more

and its powerful and it works 95% of the time perfectly lol

One thing which does annoy me is when you connect to WiFi, sometimes it updates and App, WHILE YOU ARE USING THE APP :/

It's a good phone with gitches – It is a good phone for the price you pay. But it does have a few glitches on basic operations, which is increasingly frustrating to use. 1) 8/10 messages I receive is marked as unknown source despite that the number is a saved contact. You have to click twice to get into the message and then the phone to recognise it. 2) Making a message you… Read more

have to check if you got the right number. There is no default setting to message only mobile numbers. It uses both mobile and phone numbers of one contact name.

3) copy and paste numbers to call. Yeah, you can't do that on Oppo. You have to type any characters to bring up the bar for you to overright and paste the number in.

So little gitches like those are annoying, because it's basic things you expect a phone should do.

Its a good little unit – Busted my last phones screen & got this Oppor9s to replace it, its a great little phone, easy to use, great features & is an awesome little phone for games, screen has a decent size isn't to big & dosnt look like your holding an I-pad while on the calls. Fits in the pocket well & so far touch wood, haven't had a glitch yet,  Show details

Avoid – I got this phone a few months ago and have found it increasingly frustrating to use - many of the core apps and functions keep glitching and quitting (maps, settings, etc), the alarm will randomly not go off when it is on, and it will go off when it's not set, and the keyboard doesn't remember your patterns of recent words like other models of phones do.  Show details

Excellent phone – Awesome phone at a fraction of the price of iPhone and Samsung's. Easy to use with many handy functions and apps. Uses Android. Nice hand fell of phone, not to fat or thin. Screen size awesome. Well made, has sustained many drops. Highly recommend getting a screen protector and case.  Show details

Great Phone. Highly recommend – This phone is excellent. Super fast. Isn't glitchy. The charging is super quick and the three finger swipe for volume etc is so good. This phone is excellent for it's price. My.only issue was the camera in low light could be a bit blurgh. In daylight it was excellent though.  Show details
