    I’ve had this phone for four years now, my variant is 64gb 4gb RAM. My dad gifted it to me, and I still use it to this day. Sure, it’s laggy, opening Google takes about 1.5–2seconds, and the worst part is that games and other apps sometimes crash after long periods of use. On top of that, the storage is nearly full: I’ve used about 58GB out of its 64GB. Still, it’s pretty surprising how well it still helds up.

          Not that good of a phone, I have 1, while startup is smooth and the UI is snappy, that's about it. Really outdated phone using an old Android version. Also the camera is just bad

            I've had this phone since December 2023. So far so good. It's gotten a little laggy, but then again I've used up 63GB out of the 64GB memory. I can still play games without any issues though. And I've dropped this phone so many times and not a single scratch. Very durable.

                      I certainly recommend NOT to buy this. As a user, I experience a lot of lags and delay also some freezes when I try to do something. I've been trying to custom rom it and I can't, I did on some phone like Redmi and Vivo but OPPO are just strict about protections from viruses and bugs, it's a good thing but this phone is just not worth it so do anything you can to NOT buy this and also if the shop assistance suggest you this phone then you can give him a fantastic slap.

                        c'mon man this is a trash. I bought this 3 years ago. It's lagging and takes time to open the app, inferior camera even the storage. I replaced the LCD twice. Not good for multitasking. I recommend you to not buy this.

                                Absolutely garbage phone, doesn't even update to ColorOS 12 they clearly don't care on their cheaper phones, thus giving you the worst valued processor that they can able to do so, sure animations and UI is good but cameras are absolutely garbage they looked like 480p-360p resolution dazzle color option can make the image a little colorful so it could not be so bad as the default one, cpu is just a helio p22/p35 overclocked and the gpu of it barely do some basic gaming it was op back then but now they have the audacity to use it on 2022

                                  Still no ColorOS 12 on this phone on my country, oppo are you being selfish on not launching it worldwide? Other phones have a OS Upgrade but this one doesn't and I think they will not bother to care, never buying from oppo phones ever again. What a waste

                                    Phone was absolute garbage, cameras on the back are so washed up colors doesn't match even if i use color dazzle it only gives some little bit of saturated colors, there's no even ColorOS 12 on other countries except india etc. The UI is decently smooth to be honest but when playing some basic games their graphics suck even the buttons are so blurry you can even count pixels on them, it's almost the same as Helio P22/P35 except p22 is underclocked a bit, for price range like this OPPO dissapoints me for bringing us a low end device such as specifications as this trash, if i were you i wouldn't buy this phone in 2024, theres other good phones like poco, xiaomi, realme that gives a fair value on their specs but they also have some bit of cons (Right now using Vivo Y28 which is a bit of upgrade over the A16, fair price point but still no amoled screen and rebranded chipsrt of dimensity 700)
