This phone is a hand me down and surprisingly when I used it there isn't much of a problem even after 3 years of minimal usage. This phone is really a great buy

Bought in May 2018 still using it as a secondary. After 2.5+ years, the battery has gotten slightly weaker. The protective case that comes with it has started to crack into pieces.
Build:
- Really solid build on this phone. Very nice feeling while carrying it. Aluminium build is lovely. Would feel premium if the phone was a little bigger.
Screen:
Screen brightness is great, better than more recent phones I've seen. Always on 70-75% brightness.
UI:
The UI is alright. It seems a little less cluttered but also seems a little basic. I don't like having to swipe up from the bottom to unlock the shortcut menu when in other phones you swipe down from the top. Takes some getting use to.
Connectivity:
Overall it is alright. However, there are a few times when hotspot doesn't quite work unless i restart the phone. My other devices couldn't receive any data from this phone til the restart. Also, there seems to some strange reconfiguration SMS everytime I reinstall the SIM card and move into an area with better connectivity/coverage. This is the only phone I had that does that.
Camera/Video:
I dont use these a lot. However I find the camera has problems with brighter whiter colours. If the background is too bright, the photos become overly bright. It does really well with landscape and greenery pictures. Absolutely love the plant pictures I took with this phone. The greens really stands out. However i haven't tried to view the photos outside of this phone. Video is about as good as you expect. Playing back the videos looks nice and crisp. Just watch out if you accidently press the 10sec short video option. The camera UI really could use some improvement.
Usage:
for general use, the speed and memory on this phone is decent. Feels smooth on each menu no horrendous lag ever encountered. However, it does terrible when it comes to gaming. I ran SWGOH and MCOC on this phone. Fairly laggy plays on both apps. Had a phone with a lesser MT p10 that has far less performance issues than this MT p23. To be fair, it ran better it the earlier days i had this phone, but over time my other lesser phone ran the games better. Perhaps the extra 1 gb RAM made a difference (4/64 vs 3/32 on this A83). Stopped using this phone for gaming.
Accessories:
Included screen protector, back case and headphones. I'm not sure if my vendor replaced the protector with tempered glass instead but my protector has a chipped edge (from being dropped) that feels like glass. Other than that chip, there isn't a scratch on the protector after all this time. Still looks new and really excellent. Back case is really a snug fit. Getting the phone out is a hassle due to the edges on the phone. Nice case clearance on the screen side but on the back with the camera is an exact fit. So if your phone drops on its back, the camera may have less protection than it should. The headphones have really crisp sound although the speaker control need to be an inch lower. Can feel tight if you turn your head around alot.
Overall, great as a backup/secondary phone or for someone to use who isn't into much gaming. Been fun using this phone as I will be looking for a replacement soon.

Bought this in May 2018 and still running fine the downside is the lack of software updates like this phone is only getting security updates and not that frequently, it's like Nougat forever!

I wish oppo would revive this phone, keep everything the same except use an updated processor and improve the memory to 64gb. Aluminum uni-bodies are so good

Hi, I just wanna share my experience with Oppo A83. I have been using it for 1 year and more now. I have the same model of phone with my sister. I like it very much actually but looking forward to trying out Sam. Galaxy A7 2017. Here are the things that I have liked about it: 1) Easily accessing shortcuts by swiping from the bottom. 2) Easy settings. I don't find it very clutter like at all. Easily understandable (I am a big fan of changing settings xD) 3) The built-in Secure Folder in File Manager. It is not obvious that you're hiding something. Although we only use it for some documents. 4) Camera is superb compared to our lousy phones before. We use it to take pictures of our dog everyday. 5) Gestures, like 3-finger wipe down for screenshot. Love that. 6) One hand use feature. 7) Double-tap to open screen. 8) I run on mid screen brightness and battery lasts long. It charges up 3 hours and it's full. 9) The Phone Manager feature. Easy to access and clean the phone when you got low storage. 10) Face Recognition Unlock. 11) App drawer management. 12) Power Saving is great!! 13) Oppo Share! 14) It also does not heat up easily
Downside:
1)Small Storage. We have the 16gb ROM/ 2gb Ram. We got 8gb left for downloading and half of it are bloatwares.
2) The more we load pictures on it, the more lag it gets. It even exits games.
Games like PUBG and Mobile Legends, they run smoothly if you have bigger space left.
3)Opening emails take time. I manage 4 emails and it takes time to shift from one to another.
4) We got some slow connection bands. I guess. Sometimes we cannot send messages properly.
Difference between me and my sister usage:
1) She uses it during charging. But it did not affect the heating that much.
2) She runs her phone with Power Saving plus the lowest brightness. It survives for hours.
3)She has app drawer crowded but it does not lag because of that.
4) Her chrome has hundred tabs open, it then lags after hours of using.
5) She has screenshots than mine. It lags while opening and closing/it takes time to open the photos.
Any clarifications? Comment, i'll try my best to answer :)

I bought this phone (Oppo A83) last June (june 2019), just one year completed. Battery leaked at 4:30 am, oozes watery substance, and it is totally drained when i again got up at 6am.
Due to lockdown unable to check if it is just battery issue or anything else. I will not suggest this brand to anyone at all. We did a lot of research before buying but ended up in such crappy issue without any of our known faults.
