This phone is so overpriced for what it offers, you can get a used flagship for the same price and have a way better experience. I regret buying it and wasting $300.
It records in 1080p30 in 2025 which is supposed to be on low end phones, not "mid-range" which this phone is supposed to be. The screen is fragile and a fingerprint magnet, they could've at least put android 15 on this thing.

some people angry from the camera performance which is turned to be the best camera i ever had , and this will make this phone price might jump up to the sky its shocking what i will say later, without too much talking download Gcam its available for A98 try those versions :-
1-SGCAM_8.5.300.XX.10_Stable_V19_scan3d_gcamapk
2-LMC_8.3_Release_2_Scan3D_gcamapk
3-AGC_9.6.19_V2.0_ruler_gcamapk
your A98 literally will be transform to the most amazing lens's you ever tried even the front camera in another level , my first impression was like wohooow because i can't believe this is same awful lenses on oppo camera app , so oppo app is really awful but gcam make me really saved my money i was about to sell this phone but after Gcam it turned to be the best camera i ever had and you will super shocked if you use gcam night mode it looks like mid-day sun in the darkest situations now this phone will stay with me always and i won't sell it , and video Gcam unlocked the availability of 4K video recording with EIS super stable try it guya and tell me ur opinions , be patient try all version i mentioned then pick the best for you or the one u like the most enjoy 🙂❤️

Phone is only 8 months old and power button doesn't always wake the screen EVEN THO the "tactile feedback" has acknowledged the key press.
F'n annoying .....
This is also happening with touch screen touches as well, - the vibration has acknowledged the command but the processor doesn't do anything....
Also the camera is astoundingly slow to react to the shutter press/button - it's wayyyy too slow for action shots....
Chinese chip, Snap dragon going wrong??
Personally I'd not recommend this phone to a Chimpanzee.....
Doggy build at best.

After just 5 months light use ownership sometimes the screen is not responding to the first touch - it tactily vibrates that it has taken the command BUT doesn't bring up the unlock screen.....
Also another REALLY REALLY stupid absolutely ridiculous happening is that : when the screen is "supposedly locked" it isn't fact "completely locked" as the ringing volume can be accidentally turned up or down or completely off & it also is constantly taking screenshots ( with the power button & volume down button.... This is exceptionally annoying as I have to constantly delete the shots....
Crappy onboard ring tones supplied from Oppo.
Don't think I'd buy Oppo again, this is my first Oppo phone.
I like my Huawei phone 10 times better to be honest.
And both phones were of very similar purchase dollar value....
The U.i. on the Huawei was far far superior to the Oppo.
The Oppo has awesome specifications but is let down by the "Chinese side" of "not quite getting it right" or "lack of good plain common logic" - I find this is the case with the Chinese interpretation of certain functionalities......
Only is L.C.D screen = a cheap out in build quality.....
I bought this phone very very much based on my limited budget in my country.....

This device meets 98% of my interests
1- IPS LCD i like because Amold hurts my eyes
2- back panel plastic i like instead of breakable glass
3- big FHD display comfortable for me
4- amazing cameras
5- good enough battery life
6- stereo sounds
7- support 5G
And that's all my needs nothing less nothing more.

rafnov, 05 Sep 2024Is it true that screen is so dark?I find that it's pretty dark - it is only an L.C.D screen you must remember & not an L.E.D let alone an AMOLED L.E.D display....
I find it satisfactorily serviceable. i.e., I don't seem to be wanting more/wishing it had more.
It has 120hz refresh rate, which is awesome & I constantly run it at 120hz without much battery drainage it seems....
It has a 5000mAh battery, so reasonably "chunky" capacity & this doesn't seem to make the phone massively thick though.... It's probably 8.0mm ~

Okay, so after 6 months ownership these are my following thoughts so far:
1/ Annoyingly the screen lock doesn't actually lock ALL buttons, - can you believe it....!!!
I accidentally, whilst picking up the phone or handling it to put it in my pocket, manage to take screenshots & this happens way to often..... Just stupid u.i.
This I'd my biggest peeve with the A98 I think...
2/ The U.i. is not great, sometimes the screen is not recognizing finger taps, - again, God damn annoying as shit....
3/ Screen, although not AMOLED seems o.k. , to me at least.... I constantly run it at 120hkz refresh rate tho.
I'm not a person with my phone in my hand all day either though so, my battery lasts quite well actually.
4/ Battery, fast charging ( & I don't use the O.E.M 67W supplied charger - I think it would shorten the battery life in the long term....
But, the battery is 5000mAh so it's not small & I find it goes for at least two days.
Plus it hangs in there even when it's down to 30,20% left, i.e. it doesn't suddenly die.
5/ Good size RAM up 8k ( shared though).
6/ Rear Camera - to me, it seems to take very very good quality photos! Good depth perception & sharpness. Haven't really used the video hardly at all.
Microscope Camera - I had a play with it in Winter looking at Frost/Ice crystals & to be honest, well, it seemed to work A okay actually!! Different feature I never had/experienced before....
7/ Sound: Stereo speakers of pretty decent quality, good volume level availability & good hi range. Nothing in low range but what phone ever has??
Still has a 3.5mm jack of which I regularly use myself...
I hate "in ear buds" as personally, I can't get them to stay in &, personally, they annoy the shitzen outta me!!
8/ Has some Goggle embedded applications of which can not be removed & I wish they were..... (able to be removed ..)
9/ Crappy selection of ring tones "on board".
10/ I can't seem to "individually" customise each applications notication sounds. Of which I really really like to... Means, I can use my ears to define what has just come in to my phone instead of having to activate my screen as the phone is mostly in my pocket.
Personally I found Huawei to be much much better in their U.i. - their U.i. was exceptionally intuitive, I found....but that was on a P8.... So an older model, granted.
I guess it's okay, depends on purchase price like most things a.....
It has upgraded from Android 13 to 14 & the opp. 24 has made some features better.
I do like that the battery can last forever - if you so need it too, i.e. you deliberately need to preserve it & try to do so...
Android 14 has brought the 80% max charge feature onboard. It also has an O.E.M Battery health monitor & preserver onboard too.
I find the Snap dragon seems to perform okay, albeit an older chipset....
To sum up, a good average phone with pretty decent performance - probably "well good enough" for a lot of people.
Doesn't feel "massive" in the hand - as some phones can in that they "take up a lot of real estate "....
About a € 230-250 level price is probably fair price point.
Seems to have good 5g performance in my country.
(N.Z.)
Excellent call clarity - 5g probably helps out there a lot too though....
I was going to buy the A58 BUT got a really good deal on the A98. Like $50 dear in my country.

rafnov, 05 Sep 2024Is it true that screen is so dark?I doubt that its dark per se, just not that bright enough in direct sunlight that is. That amount of brightness is serviceable for everyday use.

A Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G costs almost 10% less despite being around half a year old in said country, but preferences exist anyway so why would I bother.
