Oppo R7 Plus Review

oppo_r7_plus_3

It’s been a while since Oppo launched in India however its devices haven’t received as much traction as its sister company, the OnePlus. OnePlus introduced the Oneplus One last year and the OnePlus 2 this year and both the devices are quite sought after. It’s hard to say the same thing about Oppo devices. Don’t get me wrong, Oppo makes some really good devices and they actually are willing to take the risk and try something different as seen with the Oppo N1 and N3. However, there is usually something missing or a few faults that are tough to overlook and that has been the biggest chink in its armor. Both the N1 and N3 had innovative rotating camera modules and a few other unique features but one of the biggest drawbacks was the size. The N3 mitigated the size issue and some other faults to a certain extent but wasn’t enough to really impress us. The R7 Plus seems to be the most wholesome product that the company has released in quite some time and while it isn’t a high-end smartphone, it does pack a punch. Let’s dive into the review to take a look at the phone in detail and see whether it finally overcomes the issue that most Oppo smartphones seem to have.

Oppo Joy 3 Review: Bite Sized Smartness

Oppo Joy 3 -5

There’s a certain appeal to a pocketable smartphone. A phone that just slips away into jeans such that you don’t even feel its presence. A phone that sticks to the basics, does all the essentials but isn’t really aiming to replace your tablet, laptop and perhaps even your kitchen sink! For better or worse, we’ve mostly been relegated to the entry level segment for such handsets and the experience of using these phones has been less than exemplary. Enter the Oppo Joy 3, yet another entry level device, which somehow managed to leave a unique impression. Despite the seemingly good usage experience, do we feel that it is worth a recommendation? Read on our review of the Oppo Joy 3 to find out! Continue reading “Oppo Joy 3 Review: Bite Sized Smartness”
