        The picture of the red flowers with the main camera seems to be overexposed, leading to the flowers looking slightly magenta instead. Using a Sony LYT-600 for the main camera for a phone that is this expensive is criminal, but I'm sure the software is also doing it no favours here, because that sensor seems to normally produce pictures that have darker tones. Maybe Oppo decided to make overexpose the pictures here to produce brighter colours? It's still not a great decision.

        They should've gone for a Sony IMX890 (also since the Sony LYT-700, its successor, is barely better but costs more because it's newer). The ultrawide at this price point should've at least been a Samsung ISOCELL S5K3L6 and preferably a Samsung ISOCELL JN1, and it should've had macro support. Also, the global Pro variant should absolutely have had a MediaTek Dimensity 9200, swapping the chipsets like this is criminal.

        To save on costs, they could've just not made the screens curved on both phones, and the 2MP macro sensor should've just been omitted. There is no reason to have curved screens at this price point, and tbh there is no reason to have them at any price point. They talk about the curvature as if it makes the phone comfortable, but it's still not comfortable to hold despite the curved sides on the back because the frame is flat. Literally no reason why they should ever do this.

          We all look at this crappy Trend of omitting Charger, Cover and Headphones meanwhile Transsion Infinix and Tecno give you Charger+Cover+Headphones+Screen Guard (extra).Other companies should learn from them.

              Why is every Company following Apple these days? It's do wrong when people pay you full money, you just give phone without any accessories & cable ?? I know they do in hope of increasing charger & adaptor sales but no one thinks that chargers and adaptors go out of stock quickly and people wait for 6-8 months, sometimes a year, which gives 3rd party chance to sale their products. Just consider this thing BBK!!😠

                "Oppo no longer includes a protective case or a charging adapter"
                That's not good. I guess the lack of a protective case can be forgiven, but no charger? Yeah not cool.
