Oppo Reno Tim Ocean Green 6.4" 6GB/256GB Dual SIM

Ok. I was taken by the amazing price for this usually £499 phone but be warned if you're from the UK It is an Italian model made for that market. This is not to say that it can't be set to work in the UK - it can, but it ships with a 2 pin adapter (luckily I had a 3 pin OnePlus charger that works perfectly with the Reno) and the model I received didn't ship with the much lauded Dolby Atmos. In its place it had Dirac Hi Res. After much rooting about on Google I discovered that Dolby Atmos comes with an OTA from Oppo. Wether I'll get this I'm unsure. The Dirac though is actually great so I'm not too fussed as it handles music exceedingly well. It did come preloaded with quite a few Italian based apps but fortunately they could all be deleted (unless of course you're an Italian living in the UK who might find them useful.) UPDATE. I have discovered that in order to get software 'Updates' you need to get a VPN and fool the phone into thinking it's in Italy! Once I'd done this my phone updated to the latest Oppo operating system which installed Dolby Atmos. Quite a lot of messing about but you still save £100. UPDATE. You will also be unable to activate WiFi Calling in the UK as the phone is from a third party supplier.

In shortThe pros:A full beseless display (besides the tiny bit at the bottom) 6.4inch 1080p AMOLED displayHeadphone Jack6GB RAMPizza Cutter Pop Up CameraOver 256GB StorageUnder display Optical Fingerprint readerCons:Oppo OSSnapdragon 710No IP RatingBottom shooting speakerFingerprint scanner isn't perfect.Lenghty review:I've had this phone for almost two weeks (my last phone being Sony XZ PremiumThe display is brilliant. I first saw this phone in store I compared it with the S10 and honestly there was barely any difference. I can't describe how good having an AMOLED is till you experience it. I was hesitant buying this phone as it has a much weaker processor than my old Sony XZ Premium but I've found that the 6GB upgrade (from 4GB) is more than enough that I can barely tell a difference. Only really tell it when you push it a bit.The pop-up camera looks incredible I don't really use it but it looks great. However I work in a dusty environment and the grill in the pop up camera and the gap between the phone and the camera is always getting dusty which is concerning (especially as the phone has no IP rating).The fingerprint reader looks cool but it is really inconsistant. Doesn't work a lot of the time, it's really frustrating I miss having a physical scanner.Now the worst thing holding this phone back is Oppo OS the lack of customizing on the lock screen and forced notification bar is really obnoxious and annoying there's no dark mode really disappointing as I didn't know about it till I got the phone.The cameras are ok. Nothing special.Overall though for under £360 this phone is incredible. I'd definitely recommend it over the Pixel 3a (unless you desperately want good cameras).

Ok so I was a bit nervous about ordering a Chinese phone from a seller in Italy.Price saving was over £110 compared to buying from a well known British phone chain.Phone arrived on time,as described.Love it!.Recommend!.

I like its overall feeling, size, color and the specification was meeting my expectations.

Great product very happy
