Oppo Reno 5G (2019)
VerifiedMPN: CPH19214 reviews
Oppo Reno 5g – Oppo Reno 5g generally is a good phone for the money. Comparable to most others on the market however one feature in particular, phone echo at the other end of the call when using the hands free speaker is a known factory problem/design issue. This was acknowledged by Oppo Australia technical support. Whilst Oppo Australia Customer Support have been very good in the past, this particular issue has not been resolved to my satisfaction. This phone was only purchased this year in April, and when sent sent to Oppo for repair they sent me a second-hand refurbished phone, which had the exact same issue with the speaker phone, and this refurbished phone also now has no vibration feature? The phone has again been sent back to Oppo Australia Customer Support and I have requested they consider sending me another model, new phone, with similar spec. It now remains to be seen whether they again send me a refurbed phone! I find it hard to believe that considering these issues are not as a result of misuse of the phone by the customer, but factory related, and the phone is but 6 months old, they do not make a more concerted effort to assist in resolving this issue in the interest of maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction? Once again Oppo Australia Customer Support was tops, but I now question whether this is still the case?

Best Phone I have had – This is the 3rd Oppo phone I have purchased although initially there was a battery drain issue. Having downloaded the AVG Cleaner app and rid the phone of a stack of unused apps the battery life turned back to normal. I live in an area covered by 5G and it is extremely fast when downloading data but also being careful of my Telstra allocation. This phone has outstanding camera specs and 250gb of internal storage and expandable to 500gb. I inserted a 250gb Sd card where all photos (55,000+) and videos are stored including historical photos from previous phones. The phone connects with Bluetooth to my PC allowing a number of functions to operate in parallel. I would certainly recommend this Oppo Reno 5G 10x although it is pricey at $1500.
Purchased in at JB Hi-Fi for $1,500.
Average at best – I brought this phone because I had a Sony Xperia (with the gorilla glass) that I loved that wanted to replace with that but I was advised by Telstra there wasn't a new version, was told this was the next best thing. Wrong! As stated the phone calls drop out constantly. The internet drops out constantly. Excellent camera, although I have one of those, what I don't have is a spare phone. Battery life? Non existent, phone is on the charger twice a day minimum and I don't think it has excessive use.
This is not my first Android so it's not that. I simply don't think the phone delivers what is promised. Oh well, only 22 more months to go lol.

Great camera, rest left wanting – I got the brand new Oppo 5G the day after it was released in Australia. The device is impressive. I love the size, the clarity of the screen, the amazing camera.... But I am left wanting. Calls cut in and out when I am anywhere but home (i.e. in the car, walking) which kind of defies the term "mobile" phone. I have had huge issues connecting to multiple devices such as my Fitbit, Bluetooth car system and GPS. It would appear to not be compatible with other devices. Lack of wireless charging doesn't phase me as I didn't have that on my previous phone but I am incredibly frustrated that I cannot use the phone with other devices I have. It's a great device but I caution you if you want it to be a phone or to be compatible. I won't comment on the 5G abilities because 5G hasn't been rolled out everywhere yet. I have that function turned off for now. I have upgraded from an iPhone 7 so the whole android system is foreign to me. I think I have handled the change well but when this phone can't do half of what my old phone could. I have given it a good go over a month period but I am ready to give up now. I contacted Telstra who advised me to contact Oppo. The customer service was satisfactory but the suggestions provided by Oppo tech support (do a factory reset) has increased the problems rather than eased them. Whilst the phone would connect to other devices it would not function correctly. Now it won't connect at all after following tech support's advice. I'm unsure whether my phone is problematic or if this is an issue for others (certainly I have seen people complaining about incompatibility with Fitbit) however, at the end of the day, the only feature that I'm stoked about is the camera. Unfortunately I bought a phone to use as a phone with the camera being a bonus. The fact it won't operate properly as a smart phone leaves me very unsatisfied and wishing I'd got the Samsung or a new iPhone instead.
