Oppo F5 long-term review

05 April 2018
F5 refreshes the page in the web browser on your computer. So what’s the Oppo F5, then? Is it a refresh of sorts, too? Or maybe it’s a refreshing mid-range smartphone that’s trying to look like it’s more expensive than it actually is. Refreshing, but not niggle-free. Pretty, but not without its faults. Good in most areas, frustrating in others.

    Everyone is mumbling this Xiaomi phone. Yes it's got good specs and cheaper pricing but how come it doesn't have official stores in the Ph? If you buy it then where would bring it for repair? Unless of course it's totally unbreakable. Oppo, on the other hand has lots of official stores, therefore it gains your trust of its legitimacy and security.

        Apart from horrible software the rest of the phone is rather low-midrange stuff.for the same money you can have Xiaomi Mi6 which is far superior in every way...or some Honor devices...

          Phone as is good but what's irritating ia software, ideally hate this color os, can't install any other launcher, no app drawer, can't even install any widgets, Upon that no software updates. Its my last oppo phone won't buy in future.

            Another issue with OPPO phones is they don't provide updates to Android OS. I've had the R9S from day one and only had some very minor updates, none of which changed the android version. Pathetic software support for what was their flagship phone at the time.

                    Oppo auto terminate process is good to keep cpu and ram usage controlled and the phone performance faster all the time, other android phone after a few days running without restarted or manually clear memory became sluggish, laggy and hot..

I mean that there are many other better alternatives in the low-end and mid-end segment that is little cheaper or a little expensive than OPPO but gives a much better experience than OPPO, this includes how often it receives software updates. For the low-end and mid-end segment, I would recommend Sony, Motorola, HUAWEI, and XIAOMI, probably OnePlus too for their older smartphones; they may have sort of discontinued the predecessors, but some are still selling out there, the best alternative if the person's budget is as close as their high-end flagships, hence they can opt out other mid-end options
