Apple revolutionised the smartphone market 10 years ago when they launched the iPhone.
We all know that the last 10 years have been incredible in the tech world.
Has Apple lost its edge???
Their ability to innovated and make the user experience seamless between their products, cannot be compared.
It's seamless!
I'm an Apple geek for sure, but recently, that excitement for everything new has left me.
When the iPhone X was released with its premium pricing I'd expected more. The reality was that it just didn't innovate enough! Yeah, it has a big screen and... and...
Not enough that I'd go and spend over $1000 for!
The iPhone 7 I have is fully functioning and generally a good phone, so decided to keep it.
BUT then...
After a visit to the local phone shop to replace my screen protector, I decided to play around with the phones.
Oppo
A Chinese company that has very aggressively advertised here in Vietnam, They position their phones right in the middle of the smartphone market. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive.
After handling and playing around with the Oppo F7 I was blown away by this attractive feature-rich smartphone.
It is marketed as the best Selfie camera on the market, it's smart Ai 25megapixel front facing camera spiked my curiosity.
That wasn't my reason for wanting it, more the leaps and bounds that have been made by the Android operating system. It's just so clean now, compared to only a year or two ago.
It didn't take long and I was handing over my hard earn Vietnam Dong!
8,000,000vnd ($350 or £260)
Main features of the Oppo F7 are
It's a really decent spec at a quick glance, the phone looks like an iPhone X, as it has the notch out the top of the screen. More and more companies are opting for this, to realise the maximum available space on the front of the screen. After about 4 days using it, it's never bothered me.
Cons
This is a list of things that are annoying me at the moment about the changeover. Probably not as much as I expected.
Pros
These are the main things that are making me happy about the changeover.
There are a ton of other things I think are awesome, but I'll leave that for another post after I play around a bit more.
For now, I have no regrets the Oppo is a cracking phone with a great screen and loads of useful features.
What do you have? Apple or Android??
Have you made the leap? Are you bored with Apple's recent lack of innovation?
Thanks for reading folks. Good to be back writing again on Steemit
Keep it real
