Best phone I have ever owned

published

Love this phone. Never misses a beat.
It takes very good photos, is fast and relatively robust.
The speaker is good enough for my use and is better with headphones
My next phone will definitely be an OPPO

Don't buy if you like freedom

published

Don't bother buying this if you want to root/jailbreak it. It's racist and won't let you unlock the bootloader unless it's the Chinese version and the support (if you can call them that) are no help.

Love it

published

I love my phone. The camera is great as well as fast speeds in games and the internet I don't think I would change my phone anytime soon. I've had my phone for a while now and it's still in perfect condition

oppos are absolutely by far so much better than an Apple iPhone.
I will love the fact that I get a fast charge in or less than an hour and it's 100% which is great for people on the go absolutely love all the different things that you can do with the Android operating system it's just great overall perfect

Terrible hardware support. Only good if you live in chi

If you cant supply international markets with enough parts don't waste people's time & life with your fragile poor quality hardware!!! I had an oppo r17 and only for a simple smashed screen I had to wait for weeks with a lot of of inconvenience and disastrous ends...... Don't recommend any of oppo products at all. Na!

This phone has been the best phone I've used in a while. Good quality photos, easy operating system, amazing battery life. Other Oppos also have all these features. In love!

Simple and smooth to operate

published

I have alternated between Oppo and another well known android phone in the last few years. I was gifted the Oppo R17 recently. I love the sleek purple design and the big clear screen. Takes great high quality clear pics, battery life is very good and the fact it's not full of pre installed bloatware is a bonus.

1 problem that im yet to google a remedy for is that some of my apps "Calendar and dosecast" that i rely on for important notifications get shut down either when the battery gets under 20% or a restart of the phone. In an earlier version i did find out how to add it to a safe list.
I do have slight problems holding the power button in until it finally shuts down.
All in all I'm very happy with my Oppo.

Great Phone, Great price

published

Ive had the phone for 4 months and highly recommend it. If you can operate an android phone you will have no problems with this. It does everything that an iPhone or Samsung does at half the price. Takes great photos, comes with case cover and screen protector. And you can sync your iPod headphones to it also. I have also dropped it without damaging it.

Like the phone, need problems sorted

published

The jack for the headphones doesn't fit, it is clearly loose and so headphones don't function. Anyone else have this problem? Also when contacting the website to deal with this, I was unable to proceed as the page with policy had no button to accept?

Great Phone

For the price paid this is a great phone. I have had both iPhones and Samsungs and this is better and easier to use than both those overpriced brands. I am so impressed I am buying one for my wife. The battery life is amazing.

Best phone I have bought. Done my research and it lives up to its standard. Durability is unbelievable. I've dropped it, thrown it and it still works. Apps run smoothly and the battery life is fantastic

Amazing Phone For Price!!

published

Bought this OPPO R17 for my 11 year old daughter. Didn't want to spend a bomb buying an older model iPhone due to the lack of storage and price. Far too expensive for a child. So upon good advice I purchased the OPPO R17 for $499 from Officeworks. What a fantastic phone! We are an Apple family, but my daughter was able to negotiate the OPPO very easily.

Beautiful looking phone.
Camera has multiple options for photo enhancement.
Video feature brings room to brightness without bright light blinding people.
Finger print unlocking and Face Recognition is seamless. It has 128GB of storage. Usually you would be paying in the thousands for an iPhone with these features.

I will certainly be purchasing an OPPO for myself also.
Very impressed.

A Backward Step

published

I want to have the basic functionality of being able to set different notification tones for different apps, this is available on older Oppos and other brands.
But not on the Oppo R17 Pro! All alerts are the same
How crazy is it not having this basic functionality, their feedback from users is going ballistic about this and so am I.
It is a show stopper, what a waste of money!

Quality at half the price

published

Recently purchased this phone to replace another well-known brand at about half the cost. Great features include: 128GB Storage; 25MP Front Sensor camera; Hidden Fingerprint Unlock, Unlock instantly from your display; plus many more features. Highly recommended for people wanting quality at a budget price.

Not a bad smart phone for under $1000

published

Better than my old Samsung s8.
I'm a big fan of their security in screen fingerprint reader and facial reader very responsive and quick.
Comes with phone covers and the battery life definitely alot better than Samsung or apple, I'm heavy user on my days off and I can manage a day and half without charge, from 5% battery only takes 90 to fully charge

Questions & Answers

Michelle

Michelleasked

I love my Oppo R17 phone, but currently I am having an issue with the phone terminating phone calls. Originally I thought maybe my face was pressing the end button, but confirmed that the screen is black when held to my ear. I am starting to think there may be an issue with the phone, if nobody else had this problem.
Can anybody enlighten me.
Thanks

We have two Oppo R17's now.....and no such problem with ours....But for what it's worth I did have a similar problem with my old Samsung when I first got it....It wasn't my face pressing on the END CALL....It was just me fidgeting with my fingers while holding it.....That also caused a couple other issues....

Hi Michelle. I don’t have this problem with the R17. Perhaps it’s worth contacting them to see if there is a glitch with your phone.

Hi Lea.
Just make sure your screen is unlocked and on landscape and the camera easily flipped on its side. You may have your screen locked in settings to be portrait.
Hope this helps
