Best Oppo Phone 2024: Oppo Smartphones Reviewed

The Oppo Find N2 Flip is the only Oppo foldable you can buy outside China, and it offers direct competition to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Oppo is helped by the fact that its price is extremely competitive – especially in the UK – but don’t mistake this for the cheap and cheerful option. It still packs a flagship processor, a better build quality than Samsung’s offering, and the same main camera you’ll find in the likes of the OnePlus 11.

You’ll have to live without wireless charging or water-proofing, and accept the risk that as a foldable it might not last as long as a traditional phone. But if you can live with those compromises, this really is flipping fantastic.

The Oppo Reno 12 Pro offers a lot for the money. The screen is excellent, the design is unique and eye-catching, the software is easy to use and the AI features come in quite handy.

The cameras are good in the daylight, with the selfie camera being particularly impressive. However, in low light and with fast-moving subjects, they leave a little to be desired. The gaming performance is slightly lacking, too.

Whether this phone is right for you all depends on your priorities. If you’re keen on AI-powered productivity, it’s one of the best options in its price bracket. However, some rivals such as the Pixel 8a offer more when it comes to photography. 

The Find X5 Pro is Oppo’s all-singing, all-dancing flagship device from spring 2022, and it’s still an excellent phone, despite the older processor.

You get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and 80W wired charging together with 50W wireless.

The main and ultrawide cameras both pack the same 50Mp sensor, and offer almost exactly the same quality shots, with punchy colours, oodles of detail, and great dynamic range. There’s ‘only’ a 2x zoom camera – no periscopic lens here, sadly – but results are impressive here too.

It’s a big, heavy phone – thanks in part to the ceramic rear – and the design takes some getting used to, but this is an excellent all-rounder that delivers in every area.

The Oppo Reno 10 5G has an excellent AMOLED display, and an equally impressive camera set-up, led by a 64Mp main wide-angle lens. It’s also got a great battery life that managed over 13 hours in our internal tests.

It does come with no IP rating and some bloatware with pre-installed apps. However, that impressive price tag really gives you a lot for your money, and is especially competitive compared to other mid-range rivals.

The Oppo Find X5 only loses out on a few of the most elite touches found on the Find X5 Pro. It still retains a premium design, a superb display, and an almost identical camera setup.

Really all you miss out on is the ceramic body, the IP rating, and the latest chip – with the slightly older (but still great) Snapdragon 888 powering the phone instead.

Most importantly, it undercuts plenty of flagship rivals, delivering great value for money right now, especially now that it has gone down in price.

The Oppo Reno 11 F 5G is a capable mid-range smartphone with a very nice display, two great cameras, a robust design, long battery life and speedy charging, making it ideal for casual users. It’s also got some niche features that may appeal to some such as the ability to cut out subjects and use them as stickers and low-temperature charging.

The price tag of £349 means it faces stiff competition from brands such as Poco, Honor, Vivo and even Google, which best the phone in different areas such as battery life, performance and camera abilities. However, if there is a deal available on this phone, it may be worth considering.

Battery and charging are the Find X5 Lite’s biggest strengths. With a 4500mAh cell the phone can comfortably last a couple days of use, and the 65W wired charging means you can top it back up to full in a little over half an hour.

The main camera and selfie shooter are both good, but the other rear lenses disappoint a little. More damningly, despite launching in 2022 the phone ships with the older Android 11, meaning it’s already way behind on software.

Still, this is one of the best mid-range phones in Oppo’s line-up, and has plenty to offer for those who can’t afford the flagships.

The Oppo Find X7 Ultra is the latest top-spec flagship phone from the brand and has one of the best cameras of any smartphone on the market at the time of writing.

The second generation Sony 1in sensor plays a huge part in this, allowing for more light to be let in which in turn renders scenes with incredible colour, detail and dynamic range.

Unfortunately, this is a China-exclusive model. The Find X7 Ultra doesn’t run Google services out of the box, so the software is not friendly for the Western market.

This is a massive shame, as it also comes with impressive 100W wired fast charging, a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and a gorgeous 6.82in 120Hz AMOLED display. If it were optimised for European buyers, this phone would have certainly topped this chart.

The Oppo A78 5G is a competitively priced budget 5G phone that’s a great choice if you want the latest connectivity tech but don’t have a lot to spend – though it does come with compromises within that.

First, the good stuff. The 90Hz LCD display, excellent battery life, and unexpectedly impressive performance that is capable of some mid-range gaming thanks to the MediaTek 6833 processor.

As for the bad? You’ll have to put up with mixed cameras, lots of bloatware and a cheap-looking build in comparison to more mid-range models in this chart.

While this isn’t the only 5G phone that costs this little, it’s one of the stronger options out there.

The Oppo Find N is one of the absolute best foldables around – which makes it such a shame that, for now at least, it’s only available in China, as is its follow-up the Find N2 – which we haven’t yet had the chance to test ourselves.

Still, we have tested the first Find N, and if you’re brave enough to import the phone then you’ll find a phenomenal bit of kit. This has one of the sturdiest foldable designs around (though unlike Samsung’s latest, there’s no waterproofing) along with flagship specs – including a very capable triple rear camera.
