Great review Connor! A few days ago I dropped and smashed my Oppo A74 5G (which I loved except for the terrible low light camera) so have been looking at what to replace it with. The A98 5G started top of the list as I really like Oppo phones but I also narrowed it down to the Pixel 6a and Samsung A54. Based purely on reviews I'd get the Samsung but I want a headphone jack and I was underwhelmed by the Pixel reviews, especially the slow charging. The only issue I have with the Oppo is that I've seen a lot of complaints about the older Snapdragon chipset, the poor camera and the lack of 4K recording. But you can't have it all so based on my budget of $700 and thanks to this review I have decided to go for the Oppo after all 🙂
I'm using a Oppo a74 it's bit of a downgrade cause I use to have a Samsung a54 I gave it to my mum's cousin cause only reason I brought the Oppo a74 was the headphone jack the camera is terrible compared to my samsung a54 I didn't want to give that phone away my mum's cousin wanted it
How durable is it though ? Ive noticed it has tempered glass, not gorilla glass. Im considering purchasing this model but im quite naive on the difference between the two.
Just bought this phone today from JB. I was a loyal Samsung phone customer for years but had had enough of spending high amounts on phones that were just average in performance and function. I jumped on the Oppo website and purchased the case for $29.95, with delivery expected within 5-7 days.
Great down to earth review. Thanks for pointing out the subscription magazine for the home screen. Can that function be turned off? Looking at purchasing this phone. Great features for the price.
Just on the unlocking, are you left handed by any chance? I saw another reviewer who liked the unlock position as it is right where his thumb naturally goes when he picks up the phone.
Can i ask my oppo a98 5g charging animation was not showing and i really like that it happen after i update it 😢 like its charging but not showing the animation thought can someone knows how to fix it
i have this phone, it's really good, but i have a problem, i hear strange noise when playing videos on normal speakers and earphones, i even hear it when playing videos with voice turned off, is it normal or only i have this problem?
I think a lot of people don't own the phone. They just compare its specs with other phones with better cameras and processors and hate on it. So the internet is full of hate against this phone. But you'll see it's a great phone if you use it. For me it's the perfect phone : I prefer ips display to oled, I want a headphone jack, stereo speakers, NFC support. And it's lighter than the phones of all competitors in this price range so it won't feel like a brick in your pocket.
I actually bought an oppo a98 5G 2 months ago - the cameras are vivid and wonderful!

The fingerprint sensor. I think it is for your thumb. I use it like that and it works perfectly (right thumb)

Good review bro but we need more uploads and comparisons with other phone's in a mid-range price segment

Just on the unlocking, are you left handed by any chance? I saw another reviewer who liked the unlock position as it is right where his thumb naturally goes when he picks up the phone.
