Oppo A3s

Grabbed it on sale for $229 and love the large screen. Says it's dark purple but looks black to me. Has a very good battery life and a decent camera. Has a great screen quality for watching rugby when our fave team is playing. It's not jumpy and seems to run the game very well but will occasionally stop the video when we are watching a full 80 minute game. Quickly reloads though. Can read scores easily. Because it's big it's hard to fit in a standard mobile pocket and I couldn't get a cover locally.

The specs on this - ram, battery - matched other phones I've had, and it performs fine. However the camera is the biggest disappointment! Not only can I NOT change resolution - so even the most basic photo is chewing up around 4MB of space - the camera itself performs awfully in most lighting situations. Contrast is excessive, with both darks and lights having no nuance, so it's almost impossible to get any details. For the file size of each photo I would expect to get a lot of detail, but the photos are washed out or too dark. A massive disappointment and Im thinking of selling after only 3 weeks due to this.

Phone has the best battery life I have ever had before only need to charge every 2 days. Really good value for $250 from jb hifi. Only downside is camera can't really focus on moving objects .

My daughter upgraded from Apple to the Oppo A3s and loves it! The face recognition is brilliant. The camera is excellent. A great entry level android mobile that won't break the budget.

Bought this hp from JB Hifi upgrading from my Samsung Galaxy S5. Main reason for upgrade was the fact that the speakers and microphones on the S5 were not good, and excellent on the Oppo A3S. I love the facial recognition as well as the functionality of the phone. Only drawback is the increased weight. Also the battery is excellent and with little use I get easily three days out of one charge. The camera is on par with the Galaxy the pictures are sharp and clear with good colours.

Looks great, feels great on the hand. It comes with a 6.2” screen. The frame itself is rounded so it looks sleek. Added bonus, you can add larger sd card to expand memory. Comes in choice of 2 colours Red & Deep Purple, with a bonus clear case. Added safety features - facial and pin.
Like all phones, you need to play around with them to feel what apps you need. My only down at this moment, cannot change colour of texts. Comes with a light shade of green.
Overall, for the price, it suits me fine. Does what any other smart phone does without the top dollar.

This is my first attempt into the android ecosystem after years spending 4 times as much money on Apple products. While it's not a stellar phone it does what most people need at a fraction of the cost. If you an Apple convert this OS look a like will make the transition very easy. After all this phone is an iPhone copy in many ways. If you're not heavily invested in the apple ecosystem and can live with a less snappy experience and camera then this is a great at a very attractive price.
