Coming from an Oppo Reno10 Pro, I love it! I'm very picky with my phones for several reasons, but mostly the camera. I'd like to point out a few things:
> The camera quality is crazy. Typically phones have some limitations in quality and stabilization, bokeh etc. This is by far the best I've come across!
While I am a trained photographer I can't be bothered with carrying an actual camera with me all the time. I usually sacrifice quality for the sake of being able to snap moments anytime. With this phone's camera, complaints have been fully eradicated.
> Front camera is good. Typically, a lot of android phones will give a washed-out and blurry appearance for a front camera; this is not so severe with this phone. Front camera has good quality, colors aren't too bad, front flash is nice. I much prefer it to my little old iPhone 8 and the Reno10 Pro
> I haven't encountered this camera fog issue some people report. However, my personal input is as follows: for how good the camera is, I'm willing to keep a little silica pack in the case any humidity is an issue in the future.
> The editing software + edit options built-in for the Gallery app are CRAZYYY. The attached pic was a quick snap at midnight. Editing is an absolute joy here and it reminds me of my beloved little Lightroom and PS features...
> Night mode, for once, is actually really impressive. See attached image for a pic of my computer lights at night (so cute). This was also taken with the manual controls which I love
> The size is perfect! I hate phones that are abnormally tall or too wide or too narrow, the hold feels weird and the display is too big. This is PERFECT. Its display zoom options are also incredible, so I was able to:
1) Set the display zoom to a not-too-big, not-too-small setting without reaching boomer levels of zoom
2) Adjusted the text to a font and size I actually liked.
> Fast charging. It also includes a hibernation mode which I very much appreciate
> Great storage space and even better RAM. Fast, reliable, can handle a few games.
> Compared to pretty much any Oppo phone ever it's marginally easier to find phone cases (thank God because I was going crazy)
Now, for only a few negative pointers:
- When using the fast charging feature, it Does heat up. No denying this. It heats up quite a lot. But, on the bright side, it doesn't take long for it to charge so it gets to cool down fast.
- Compared to my previous Reno10 Pro the homescreen icon customization options are a Littllleee limited. HOWEVER the available themes for customization are by far superior.
- QR code scanner isn't built into the camera app.... Not so tragic but it may matter for some people so I mention it.
- The built in clock app doesn't support saving preset timers. It's not that deep but I know this was real useful in my Oppo phone so, again, it might matter for some people.
The price dropped criminally fast right after I bought this though which I am slightly bummed about. But I'm enjoying the phone so much, I can't complain.
