Oppo has had an interesting journey over the last few years. While its devices always had great cameras and evocative designs, the brand hasn't quite been able to challenge the likes of Samsung or Huawei in the high-end space.
OPPO instead turned to advertising and an extensive retail network to sell devices, and that paid off handsomely for the brand. But in the last two years, the flagship R series has seen a radical transformation. Last year's R15 Pro and R17 Pro were standout phones in the value space, and the Find X became a bold showcase for the brand.
For 2019, OPPO is once again switching things up. The R series is making way for the Reno, with the device featuring a stunning glass design with a unique shark fin popup front camera and 10x zoom at the back. Huawei's take on 5x optical zoom with the P30 Pro is very interesting — and the phone continues to be one of the best Android devices available today. That said, the company's ongoing issues with the U.S. government means you're better off not picking up the P30 Pro at this moment in time.
