Oppo R9s

“Solid performer that falls short slightly on some fronts. Still a decent high-spec mid-range entry.”

“Oppo's execution is the best, and this isn't just because of the six-string antenna design (though that's a big part of it). The R9s has the same screen size as the iPhone 7 Plus, but you wouldn't guess it - the Oppo is so much more compact and lighter. The fingerprint reader is faster than Apple's too.”

“What the R9s marks is another step towards Oppo making a truly great phone. It looks nice, it performs well, doesn't cost a heap and isn't as far behind on software as some of its predecessors.”

“Although its camera is the best we've seen at this price point, the OPPO R9s has too many other issues for us to recommend it over competing options. If you're looking for a great camera, we suggest that you either compromise a bit with an alternative mid-range smartphone or pay more for a true flagship.”
