Oppo R15 Pro (2018)

Unbelievable good – I've been using this moderately priced phone for over two years and it has never let me down. The camera is probably the best in its category. The phone is robust and durable, and looks the part Definitively considering OPPO again in the future Show details

Absolutely awesome – This is awesome I've had flagship from apple to Samsung and Huawei phone but to be honest Oppo R15 pro is up there with the best smooth running does everything I need great size and thin as well Show details

Started off good but – The phone does a lot of things well and impressed me initially with the relatively cheap purchase price of $799, but I'd suggest that durability is not it's strong suit.This phone has a rather fragile screen which broke during the first week from new. I have had this phone for 21 months and it has become unsatisfactory. After about 1 year the… Read more

phone began dropping out during calls or not connecting at all when dialing a contact. This phone will not function properly with the Australian government covid safe app. My wife's considerably older Apple iPhone 7 suffers none of these issues. I have followed all instructions from the app developer and from Oppo customer service many times over, but still, once the phone sleeps the battery optimisation overrides the system and stops the covid safe app. I live in Brissie but Oppo suggested that I send the phone away down south for repairs. However, with the service and postage it could take weeks. I imagine that I would cop a big repair bill too. Who can go without their phone for this long awaiting repair? When my 24 months contract expires shortly I will be looking elsewhere for my next smartphone. I would not buy Oppo again and couldn't recommend Oppo phones.

Love the phone, customer service, & photos! – I bought this phone from my local JB HiFi Ballarat. It was discounted and I bought it outright because I was also switching to Telstra from Exetel/Optus. It comes with a clear soft case and a screen protector. It's Android and very similar to my previous Samsung smartphones. It takes really fantastic photos that I use for my home business. After 1… Read more

year of use (comes with a 2 year standard warranty) I did manage to COMPLETELY deplete the battery (by using it until it turned itself off too many times) and had to send it in to customer service bc it wouldn't charge/turn on and battery is not removable, but it was no hassle at all! I printed the free express post shipping label online and took it to the post office. By lunchtime the next day, I received a message from Melbourne OPPO saying it was on it's way back to me already!!! Postie had it to my door by lunchtime the following day! So 2 day turnaround including post! No charge for the fix and they supplied a new charger, cleaned my phone and fitted a new screen protector! Best customer service experience I've had in a long time! Definitely a supporter of this company now!

Great midpriced smartphone, battery needs more oomph – Great phone, quick processor and solid camera. Only limitation is the battery is abit weak and sometimes struggles to last a full day of usage. Dual Sim and a expandable SD card slot. Show details

AI camera is trash now – The camera used to be fantastic, but since December 2019 Oppo has been messing with the AI in the camera and it does not take good photos. You cannot completely remove the beauty filter, so you will always look like an alien. The front camera looks great through the screen when you're focussing your shot, but when you take it it post processes it… Read more

to death and blurs the whole image, unable to identify the subject. It ends up applying the portrait blur to the whole image when it can't find a face. Ridiculously disappointed I am replacing my phone

Oppo R15 pro – I have had this phone for over 18months and it is indestructible. It's processor is fast and keeps up with out lagging or freezing and if I write 4 reviews I get a $20 gift card Show details

Better than All the Rest – I used have a Samsung S9 plusI gave it ti hubby,I prefer my Oppo and my 2 kids now have Oppos and they changed from Iphones and they love it, great value and just as good as the others Show details

Love my Oppo – Changed from IPhone to Oppo Love the features of the phone, camera us very good. Use on our holidays, every day and for family photos Very user friendly When upgrading I will stick with Oppo Show details

Everything I need and want in a mobile – I've had my Oppo R15 Pro mobile for a year now and I'm so happy. I've had many different mobiles both personally and provided by work and this phone is by far the best I've had. I was reluctant to try the new kid on the block but I needed a dual sim instead of carrying 2 mobiles around. Boy was I surprised. It has all the features I want and… Read more

perfect size! Pros: Dual sim capability, plenty of storage, easy to use, great camera and good battery life. No screen burn after 1 year of use Cons: dual sim sot is the CD slot so you can only use one for that second slot Overall very impressed and totally recommend

Great buy excellent phone with heaps of storage – Great phone with great camera and storage, battery life is good. Oppo phones are very durable and comes with great storage considering the price. Camera is good but it would be great if it’s more natural looking than being over corrected lol. Overall great phone to buy. Show details

Great phone – This phone has been one of the best phones I Have used. I don't look back changing from Samsung. This is pretty much the same does the same as a Samsung the camera is clear. The brightness is amazing the apps run smoothly on the phone. Show details

Best phone I have had in a long time – Great camera Greta speed Big screen Comes with a fast charger Works as good if better than any of the Galaxy or iPhone range from the similar year. Runs Color OS. Which in my opinion is a great operating system. 10/10 recommend. Show details

Nice Handset with all features – Camera quality is excellent Display is pretty good Only issue I have sometimes is the phone heats up very quickly and shuts down. Its better than having a Samsung which comes with so much bloatware. Its a decent devise at a reasonable price. Show details

Oppo are pretty good – Camera is pretty amazing I use the phone for everything gaming and apps run smoothly I used to be a Samsung user but for the price of the oppo I changed Show details

Amazing phone, great value. Fantastic camera and screen resolution. Highly recommend to anyone looki – Cannot say enough good things about this phone. The opportunity r15 boasts an excellent camera with high quality, clear screen resolution and brightness. Use all apps on this phone, great with emails,PDF, Microsoft office apps , social media apps. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic option to a high end phone.  Show details

Great phone – The best about that device is it is a responsive phone. It has a great camera, adjustable brightness, face recognition. It comes with pre-installed glass screen protector and a plastic case. Such a great phone for great price.The only problem with the phone is it is a bit heavy relative to other phones like Oppo A73.  Show details

Good but needs some simple improvement – 4 star because for me: 1. the battery charge % icon on the top of home page is so small, it's very hard to read. Have tried changing to the visual bar in settings, but that is not useful. Would be an improvement if battery charge could be enlarge by tapping on the icon or at least show it in the top pull down. Also, it should be shown in the settings. 2. Hard to see the time when the phone is idle.  Show details

Perfect phone for a reasonable price – I was a bit sceptic buying this phone, but I must say it is just awesome. Great camera, very fast, big screen with good resolution, good life battery. Also love the fast charging tech, got the phone at 75% in about half an hour. Can't complain at all, very happy so far. It has been about 8 months now!  Show details

Leaves Apple for dead – I’ve had 3 iPhones in the past 10 years and I normally by the phone outright so I can BYO to the carrier with the best deal. But when I saw the ridiculous pricing of the new iPhones I decided enough is enough and I wasn’t prepared to pay $1800 for a phone that was a glorified camera. I know it’s a big decision to leave Apple but I bit the bullet… Read more

and after weeks of investigation I went with the OPPO R15 pro using Android which I purchased from mobilecity Through eBay for $625 delivered with a 2 year warranty. Absolutely the best phone I’ve ever had ! Big screen,great camera, lightening fast on the internet and has facial and fingerprint security. The changeover of all my data was brilliant as oppo has an app called clone phone. Just put the phones next to each other and once the recognise each other your data is seamlessly transferred to the OPPO. Also it connects to my both cars Bluetooth in a split second. I think Apples days of having a captive market and charging ridiculous prices for service and phones are well and truly over.

Great phone – Apps and games run smoothly, long battery life and some very cool features. I thought it wouldn't be as good as it is because of the cheap price and similar it looked to the iPhone x. Have no regrets so far purchasing this, it's been 6months now.  Show details

Love this phone – I bought one of these phones a few months ago and I honestly have nothing bad to say about it. The game acceleration works brilliantly, (great for Pokemon Go in case anyone is wondering) the camera quality may appear a little inferior when compared to other phones but zooming fixes that, it has been compatible with all apps that I use and so far I have had no issues with any aspect of this phone! I would gladly recommend it to anyone.  Show details

Absolutely Brilliant – Absolutely Brilliant work by oppo. Everything works fine, apps run smoothly. Call quality is great. Battery life is amazing. For the price you pay its pretty much got the same high end specs as a premium device like Samsung and Apple Great device great company awesome work by all involved .  Show details

What a Surprise! – Being an iPhone user for a few years I thought it would be difficult to transition back to Android. I had heard nothing but good things regarding Oppo for a while now, so I went for it. I’m am pleasantly surprised! The phone feels good I’m the hand, the cameras are amazing, I’m a fan of the big screen and the notch, it has a good size for memory… Read more

and I love the colour (I went with Cosmic Purple). Fast charging is a bonus! And I love the facial recognition feature! It is fast, I haven’t had any issues so far.

I’m thoroughly enjoying this phone, and for the price I recommend it! It’s a great transition from iPhone!

Fantastic phone – This phone is similar on style to the iPhone X but at a fraction of the price ultra HD screen with bright colours, finger print scanner is on the back which makes it easier to use than an iPhone or other Android phones, I like the strong vibration feedback when typing, helps you with your typing. Battery life is also very good, a full charge can last almost two days with average use  Show details

It does the job and more – The first oppo I had was a r9s and while being a good phone it was to Chunky and looked to much like the iphone. Now this one is amazing it's so fast no lag it's stylist it's thin the NFC works amazing no issues honestly for a mid range phone it does a brilliant Job I've had both iphones and samsung and this is my go to.  Show details

love the design of it – I bought the Oppo 15 pro on Vodafone plan. it has good storage about 128gb for your all needs like photos and music. don't even need to remove your old photos from the device. at first glance, I was impressed with the phone design and small notch on the top. I would highly recommend this product.  Show details

Highly recommended. High end budget phone – After being released from my telstra contract with iPhone X . I decided I wanted to buy outright and go on a cheaper plan. Did some research and even lower end iPhones were $800 like a 7 . Did some research and came across oppo . I heard they made very good top end vlu Ray players sold at audiophile shops . Sused out the r15 and r15 Pro and… Read more

wasn't keen on the size but otherwise seemed awesome. Tossed up with with standard or dream mirror edition ( pro ) and went for the pro in nebula purple. Had it 2 months and love it. Good battery life great screen . Quick operating system . Looks awesome.. Voc charging works great . Overall 5 stars . Pretty much an iPhone x wlfr less than half price . It came with a 2 year warranty . Would buy another oppo.

Flagship phone at affordable price – This Oppo R15 pro boasts all the features of a 1500$ flagship phone at half the price. The battery is huge and lasts days. The display is large and clear, and with 128gb storage there is plenty of room for hdvideos and pictures. Dual rear camera takes amazing pictures and 4k video. 6gb ram runs apps and videos seamless and smooth. This phone is a cracker!  Show details

Wicked phone – Loveeeeeeeee this phone, definitely recommend to anyone. Have been an oppo user for over 3 years now and never a fault. Definitely the best team and services available. 16mp and 20mp cameras are awesome, let alone the feel, lightness and colours of the device you can choose! Red, or purple.  Show details

After 8 years with Apple, No regrets – After being an Apple iPhone user for 8 years, I decided to try the R15 Pro over the iPhone X. Wow. I'm in love. The switch was surprisingly easy and I am really enjoying the change and the level of customisation. For less than half the price of the iPhone X, I'm really quite pleased that the performance of the R15 Pro has impressed me so much. Now, I look at iPhone X users with pity!  Show details

Best value in its class – The Oppo R15 Pro has one of the best screens available (brighter than regular R15 FYI). I researched for days and this phone was my top pick beside the iPhone X and Galaxy S9 which cost at least $500 more. The Oppo R15 Pro goes pound for pound with the heavyweights and it's almost half the price. The R15 Pro is Android based and has Oppo's own… Read more

skin called Color OS 5.0. This skin is basically a hybrid of IOS and Android. I quite enjoy the UI since I switched from an iPhone to the R15 Pro.

The reason I chose this phone was because Oppo offered impressive specs for $750 - Other phones which offer 'similar' specs would be the Huawei P20 and LG G7, both of which cost $1100. The reason I didn't choose either the P20 or the G7 was because the P20 has an ugly, washed out display and the G7 has a smaller 3000mAh battery capacity. ___________________________________________________________________ This phone isn't perfect and it's worth taking the following cons into consideration:

⬤ ACCESSORIES Phone cases are uncommon and will need to be sourced online aside from the generic wallet cases sold at cheap case kiosks. Screen protectors are also uncommon and most of the ones found online will NOT fit due to the R15's curved edge screen (Panzerglass are now selling an official tempered glass protector designed to fit the curved screen properly). Beware of purchasing R15 cases from online stores with Chinese stock. The R15 Pro in China has different physical dimensions from the one sold in Australia and will NOT fit. There are now a few Australian based eBay stores selling proper cases for about $10.

⬤ SPEAKERS Terrible loud speaker. It reaches loud volume but sounds flat, tinny and is easy to block with fingers. The poor speaker quality is especially noticeable if you're transitioning from an iPhone which are renowned for their quality loudspeakers.

⬤ SOFTWARE While the user-interface has been mostly flawless, some apps don't seem to register when you have viewed a notification. For example the EBAY and Youtube app will show notification indicators on the home screen but it will remain there even though you may have viewed the notification.

In addition, Oppo really try to shove its own music player app down your throat. I use a third party in-car bluetooth adapter to listen to music. The phone automatically connects to it if bluetooth is activated which is fine. The issue is that when I press play on the bluetooth adapter, this phone, for some idiotic reason, will revert from the Google music playing app back to the stock Oppo music player (Which I have deactivated). I don't want to use Oppo's stupid stock music player and they need to learn the definition of deactivation. It's infuriating.

- EDIT (15/08/2018) - I started experiencing inexcusable app crashing with popular apps like Facebook and Messenger. I experience at least 5-7 crashes per day at the moment which is very irritating and unprofessional of Oppo for a phone which launched at $750. These apps have become more stable from November 2018.

- EDIT (13/11/2018) - The YouTube app had a red notification sticker glitch for 5 days. I had to restart the phone to get rid of it. ___________________________________________________________________ These sorts of cons/bugs can be found in most phones and I'm being extremely picky here just because I think it's important to know when spending such large sums of money. For the most part, this phone is fantastic and I'm very happy with my decision. You cannot beat this phone for the price. There are many people who hate on Oppo because of the ColorOS (which blatantly mimics IOS) but don't let that deter you from jumping on board. I'm a huge fan of IOS and Oppo's hybrid approach is quite finessed. ___________________________________________________________________ ★[UPDATE]★ I sold the R15 Pro in November 2018, about 5 months after purchasing. The constant app crashing was frustrating. Toward the end, I was experiencing multiple app crashes per day and I became fed up. I also longed for better sounding speakers and advanced haptic feedback which this phone lacks.
