Yesterday, in Paris, not IFA, OPPO announced Reno8 Series in Europe, featuring MariSilicon X on Reno8 Pro. The TLDR is that the Oppo Reno8 Pro is basically the Realme GT Neo 3 that I reviewed earlier in the year. To be fair, the Realme GT Neo 3 is a superb phone. There are some infinitesimal …

I have made this performance comparison purely because I am in the middle of reviewing both the Honor Magic4 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Both these phones have a similar specification, so theoretically, they should provide similar performance, but software optimisation will likely make a difference. I have also added historical data from …

The OPPO Find X3 Pro was launched back in March 2021, so this review has come a little late. However, it is one of the highest specced phones of the year, with a price tag to match, and I didn’t want to pass on reviewing a phone of this calibre. Due to the timing of …

Yesterday, OPPO held its annual technology event, OPPO INNO DAY 2021, in Shenzhen, China. During the event, they announced two new pieces of interesting technology and they will officially announce its first foldable smartphone, OPPO Find N, today. OPPO’s First 6nm Cutting-edge Imaging NPU – MariSilicon MariSilicon X features an advanced NPU, ISP and Multi-tier …

This morning I woke up to two press announcements about active noise cancelling TWS earbuds. One, which is the fifth press announcement about the Nothing earbuds over since April, trickling annoyingly small bits of details. The other from OPPO, that just went straight in and announced everything. The OPPO Enco Free2 earbuds are the perfect …

The OPPO Find X3 Neo was launched in March as an affordable alternative to the £1k+ OPPO Find X3 Pro. While the X2 Neo had a mid-range chipset, making it feel like an overpriced but premium midrange phone, this uses last year’s flagship Snapdragon 865. To me, this helps justify the cost, offering competitive performance …

The OPPO Find X3 Neo launched last month as part of the Find X3 series launch, acting as an affordable alternative to the Oppo Find X3 Pro. The big difference with this phone vs last year’s Find X2 Neo is the shift from the ageing mid-range 5G Snapdragon 765G to the Snapdragon 865, which featured …

The OPPO Find X3 Pro 5G was always going to be one of the best (and most expensive) phones of the year. It has now been officially announced with a specification as impressive as you might expect. While it was no surprise that this would use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, this makes it the first …

OPPO have a lot of amazing phones, I have always found they excel at the upper end of the market, in particular, the Find X2 Pro is probably the only £1k+ phone I would have been tempted to buy myself this year. For their mid-range phones, they have always suffered a little in perceived value …

OPPO will be officially launching the Reno4 Series today at 9:30 AM during a live stream event on their social channels. However, it would seem someone hit the publish button on their sponsored Amazon adverts early, confirming pricing and key details. The adverts themselves lead to 404 page not found. The two adverts I have …

Today, Xiaomi was the first company to launch a phone with the brand new affordable 5G chipset from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 750G. Priced at just 279-Euros, this is incredible value for money. Related: Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G vs Snapdragon 765G & 730G & 690 Compared The chipset inside the Xiaomi should trade blows with its bigger, …

This is 100% speculation made by myself based on launches in the next few days and current phones available in other regions. MediaTek has officially announced that the Dimensity 800 will be coming to Europe with a launch planned this week. When I pressed my PR contact further, I was given the official statement from …

Bit late with this news, but OPPO have officially launched their ColorOS 11 based on Android 11. It includes all the befits on Android 11 with a range of tweaks introduced by OPPO themselves. Perhaps the most newsworthy part is what devices will actually get the upgrade. They have a rollout plan graphic but then …

Serial leaker Digital Chat Station has revealed the existence of a new affordable OPPO A72 phone set to launch soon. The phone has popped up a couple of times in the past, including on Chinese certifying authority TENAA’s website earlier this month. China Telecom also lists the phone with some key details. The smartphone is …

The new trend of one-upmanship in the world of smartphones is how quickly you can charge them. OPPO have been leading the way for the past year or so now the OPPO RX17 Pro was on of the first phones to offer a crazy charge speed thanks to its dual battery solution. They have continued …

Even though Oppo announced the Find X2 series almost 2-months ago (back when we were allowed to do things) you have not actually been able to buy the phones. Not sure why they did that. Anyway, Oppo, today, had a second launch, this time to announce you can buy their phones. The two flagship phones, …
