Oppo N3 - User Reviews

  • Does it have a 64gb with 4gb ram version

  • Where can i buy a oppo n3?

  • I am using Oppo n3, how to replace from 3G to 4G.

  • Am an Oppo fan when N1 & N1 Mini came up as those were really2 unique phone like no other. Then N3 came out & I felt like in heaven lol...bought it in 2015 & still kicking till now. Those people that are sad about no updates on N3, well personally I like Oppo didnt update their Color OS on N3 as latest Color OS starting from v3.0 - current are shit. They are like iphone wannabe IOS especially in camera interface. While N3's v2.0 looked unique just like other android phones. Camera-wised, yeah 16mp without OIS really not that great but it was superb when comparing it with other flagships that day. A tips for you, switch to Ultra HD mode (64mp) if you really want a super detailed image when taking a pic. No other phone especially in Oppo's latest model till now (2018- early 2019) that have that kind of pixel level. Right now I've got 2 phones which are Oppo N3 & Oppo Find X and still using both of them (motorized camera madness). I can tell you the Ultra HD image is more detailed, deeper zoom level & lesser noise when I compared it with Find X's HDR mode. That is its trump card as other than that Fine X & like other latest phone win over it

  • I am using Oppo N3 since 2014 , its amazing, but there is no updates firmwares for the phone .

  • My oppo n3 dosent shows any sort of system color os updates Pls look over it

  • I've recently bought N3 and the latest build number is N5206EX_11_150311. ColorOS is V2.0.1i. The phone will sometimes hang or restart by itself when I unlock the homescreen.

  • Prize in Bangladesh

  • Where can I get one Am living in Angola

  • I am loving my opppo n3 much nuch better then note edge which useing b4 n3 bettery is superb and camera amazing.I suggest u guyzz try it once and u will surelyyy quit samsung or even iphone they made same thing every tim nothing changed

  • my Oppo N3, so far so good with it's specifications and i very-very satisfied all of it's features inside the Oppo N3 especially the Ultra HD video recording with 1080P it so fantastic and can play also 4K Ultra HD videos that holds by qualcom snapdragon 801 and i love my Oppo N3 :) thanks to my Oppo N3.

  • This oppo is so good mobile in every thing and the battery is averge

  • This oppo is so good mobile in every thing and the battery is averge

  • very sad its use a crap snapdragon heating issue,,it should be any mediatek or hi silicon kirin 930 where no heating issue with cool performance :-P

  • Its amazing world first motorized camera. With unique color os

  • I have also my handset n3 hot and hang problem

  • the n3 has the advantage of pricing, while the s6 has the advantage of internals. and don't be deceived by the battery capacity. while the n3 has 3000mah, the s6 is more energy efficient and so lasts longer on a single charge. and that's despite the QHD screen and smaller capacity. personally, i wouldn't buy an s6 until the price drops to like $500.

  • note 4 dude. while its front cam doesn't stack up against the n3's rotating one, it's completely unique and there's nothing like it in terms of functionality and utility. can't be beat. it also has better internals, better display, and a far better battery life.

  • Own this since Jan 2015. Never notice any great thing about it till....... tonight. Took a photo with it...... and could clearly see the star on it. Son is very shock, impress and happy with the shot. Good job OPPO

  • Note4

  • Can not do video call with out additional software. No FM radio on Oppo N3, Dont buy it.

  • The Oppo N3 hands down over the S6, samsung has really started to rely on the past and not putting much effort into new products. I found myself moving away from Samsung 2 years ago. I bought a Starmobile Octa (Philippine Phone) not expandable but wireless charging and all the cool stuff. 32 GB on a phone for me is enough plus you can use OTA. S6 tooo much $ for little technology. My wife loves her N3 and taking panoramic pictures is AWESOME

  • What should i choose Oppo N3 or Samsung Galaxy Note 4? I need a unique android phone. And a clear selfie captures.

  • Supeb phone... btr than any other Android phone

  • If you are on a budget the N3 is cheaper even though it has a better camera. If you are not on a budget go for the Galaxy S6 as it has wireless charging and full glass design. The s6 has a smaller battery though.

  • Ok guys..I'm ashta here. Which gadjet should i go after for the oppo N3 or the Samsung S6....pls help me..pls

  • You can make it waterproof by applying Liquipel technology.

  • next month

  • N3 is not water poof

  • is this OPPO N3 is water proof? i need exactly answer..thx

  • it`s a FREAkinlubely nice ever since I bought it 3weeks ago.. color up my freakin misery life.. thanks anyway oppo..

  • Why is my oppo N3 very hot and software got mind of its own. While typing whatsapp...its suddenly got its own mind and move by itself. Sensor double tab big problem,,,sometimes work and most of the time doesnt work. If you have software problem please inform coz we buy this expensive phone using our money not ur families money.

  • Why is my Oppo N3 jump from software to software by itself. Typing also the same thing,,,sometimes the sensor works but most of the time the sensor for double tap on screen doesnt work. If you are having software problem please inform and give us an update soon...people buy this stupid phone with lots of money...dont just keep quite.

  • Over priecy phone.Not interested att all to this phone. It's a gimmick.

  • I face this problem also and phone is getting hot.Very disappointed

  • its a great phone except the battery drain is catastrophic...I'm losing 20% per hour and this is very basic usage..

  • I wonder why one would buy this Oppo? To me, Oppo is never better, they are just good in advertising department. (people are just seduced by their advertisement) As for Specs to Specs, mostly other brands would be cheaper with same or higher specs than this rubbish OPPO. Definitely, I would not buy this brand, ugly design of rotating camera, money wasting smartphone since not cheap like Xiaomi or Asus.

  • I was fan of oppo , i m using find 7a from last six month the phone is really excellent...on the performance of find7a i thought to bring oppo n3.. I have ordered oppo n3 from oppomart.com , ok within 20 days i got oppo n3. I was so happy on that day, but after getting that phone i was very much upset because when i got the courier at that time it was switch off , than i have charged it and after 100% charged when i have started for use without insert the sim, i found the battery problem and heating problem. than what i found it is switch off after 4 hour without any use. than again i have charged it 5 hours but same problem it shutdown after 4 hours. so i contact oppomart and they replied may be it is battery problem so I m sendng it back by tomorrow courier to oppomart china...lets see what happen...how they help me ...i will update it

  • find 7a jellybean 5mp front cam is better than oppo n3 16mp rotating cam...haaaaaist!!!!oppo pls, resolved it.

  • oppo n3 downgradable to jellybean??????

  • Everything inside one model. how about other models

  • Use custom rom ofcause can.but it will brick your warranty

  • No it,s not android phone its base on android phone.that mean manufacturer install some part of android apps actually its running color is version

  • everthing is perfect but i need tat as in 6.5 inchs and in 4G operation and also super fast processor.......... if u satisfy me in this im ready to buy my fav oppo n3 imediatlly

  • Is it possible to upgrade N3's OS to lollipop

  • Oppo is a chinese manufacturer...

  • Cn U plz tell m tht wen Oppo N3 is gng to b Launch in India plzzzz.. eagerly waiting to buy ths phn... plzzzz

  • I owned Oppo device and i can say super unique features and gestures. it's not just an Android, its SuperB for Android. 15 days replacement and 1 year service warranty. :D awesome device from US manufacturer.

  • that is great... i buy after compare with the samsung note 4. thanks oppo life is great

  • Failed to mention that battery does drain very quickly. Have to charge it 3 times a day on medium use.

  • It is no doubt a wobderful phone but it has glitches as well. I've had it for a few days and discovered a couple which I hope would get resolved soon with a quick fix. First, wifi direct does not work. Although it shows my two phones connected, files fail to send or be received. Also NFC turns off before it could receive any file.

  • Life is good

  • Better buy international version that mean b4 they export out of china they will install android. Let say your device no play store,facebook or other google apps that mean yours china version.but dont worry u still can get what u want frome U tube

  • battery not lasting why?

  • N3 is nice but 1.why N3 resolution didn't reach to 2560×1440 QHD and ppi didn't exceed 500 2.cannot record 4K video 3.R5 got amoled display why N3 didn't have

  • ohh ya thids is nice phone

  • Yes, it is an Android phone. If you look under the OS section for Operating System, it says Android KitKat 4.4.

  • wohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what a phone

  • Android OS, v4.4.4 (KitKat)

  • Is it an android phone?

  • Now I use Oppo Find7, very satisfying. I will patienly wait for Oppo N3

  • The price is likes the iPhone 😂😂 I don't know which one is better. But N3 in Malaysia not release yet. 😂😂 Sad.

  • Never even heard of this brand before.. From South Africa

  • Hi there. The Oppo N3 specs is available on the net. It doesn't have a weaker camera as it is 16mp at auto rotate unlike the manual rotate of Gionee. Hope this info is helpful.

  • On my opinion, the Oppo N3 is one of the most versatile and innovative product being invented for 2014 and 2015. Although the manufacturer itself is new in the industry and the parts are made on US but assembled at China, branded phones like Iphone, Sony and Samsung neglected to innovate their features. Why can't a branded phone invent a rotating cam? A China phone expandable to lollipop? Create a finger print sensor? A 32 gb internal and 128 external? It may not be considered branded now or the product itself is very new. But are we going to stick to branded items that doesn't have brilliant minded ideas? Change is good. And new products must be tried before we even judge it. After all, Oppo N3 is not that cheap. It costs P30,000 in the Philippines. And right now, there are many reservations in many Oppo stores. And for me, I will buy this product by January 2015 and compare it to my Sony Z Ultra, Iphone 5 and Samsung S4.

  • N3 has the best camera in the world...it has also rapid charge that can save your time charging up your phone....

  • why not lenovo vibe z2 pro

  • Z3 camera is consider not good at all as a flagship. Sony not doing it right either on the lens or the software.

  • Just went to an Oppo Shop near my place here in the Philippines, and what I was told that it will be released by January, around 2nd week. Also it would cost around Php30k or so.

  • nop,

  • If you are an android lover DO NOT buy this phone. It has no android on it. no goodle no facebook. nothing. I bought so im telling that is has NO ANDROID functionality.

  • when this phone will be available in other regions it took so much time , im thinking of buying it from ebay china version to use in middle east.

  • Next year welcome to Thailand ^^

  • In my country its coming out about mid January, already reserved.

  • Is it waterproof?

  • They said it was going to be out in early Dec, when it was first announced. So when the heck is it actually going to be released ? No updates on this phone lately.

  • Whuuuuuuuuuuuut? Rotating camera?! Soooooo cheap!

  • Ah,never mind. Just researched Gionee. Spec for spec, Gionee don't really compete well with ANYONE in this space, be that someone Oppo, LG or Samsung.

  • Wait- how do you suppose this has a weaker camera than the gionee e7mini? Spec-for-spec, your comment makes no sense, other than from personal bias.

  • Very weak camera. Try to compare to gionee e7mini and see the difference.

  • This smartphone here is one of my choice. Anyone here have tried using this for games ? I'm really concern about using this especially on games that are being played horizontally. There is a tendency that the rotating camera might broke because of the pressure from our left hand. Any thoughts on this kindly share please thanks.

  • this phone will be priced at rm2098 at malaysia market :d

  • Don't believe you!!!! Cause by january will be the availabilty of the unit &worth 29k. Better watch news

  • Yap visit sm there u can find it worth 16k plus

  • oppo technology is beyond expectation.....the idea of motorized camera is really cutting edge and authentic idea....must have it!!!

  • oppo technology is beyond expectation.....the idea of motorized camera is really cutting edge and authentic idea....must have it!!!

  • I intend to get a dual sim fon.have researched on a couple of dem,have come to luv oppo,but how do i get one in nigeria-its nt popular here

  • N3 is a really super hifi phone and it's much better thn z1 compact! N3 is comparable with Z3 the camera of ths phone is awesome with new features that gives u a full detalis in pictures !!

  • Is this available in the Philippine market? Please reply guys! and how much would be the cost?

  • whatever!

  • Hope your eye side is OK , read my comment again I'm talking about "MOTORIZED" rotating camera, N1 was a manual rotating camera there were many other rotating camera phones but no company ever introduced motorized rotation......... It was my idea ..read my words again

  • Where can I buy it? I live in the U.K. and want this phone soo bad and has to unlocked aswell.

  • where to order?

  • nice phone ever i have it already so nice and handy to use. go go go oppo

  • Is Oppo N3 available in Philippine Market and How much will this be? GREAT SPECS WITH GREAT BATTERY!

  • color violet and pink please???

  • Go for Xperia z1 compact

  • Looking nice

  • go for n3....are u going to use ur phone under rain....

  • Should I get the Oppo N3 or HTC Desire Eye? I want the N3 because of the camera, fingerprint sensor and others, but it's not water resistant. I want the Desire Eye because of also the camera and it is water resistant, but it doesn't have a fingerprint sensor. So which should I buy?

  • good one bro nice idea since they implemented it

  • Plz tell me SAR level of N3.

  • Oppo please do a mini version with 4.7inch screen 130/135mm in height and with removable battery!!!

  • Sorry guy, Oppo N1 already had a rotating camera and was annonced in september 2013.

  • Beleive it or not but it was my idea to implement motorized rotating camera, I gave this Idea an year ago at Oppo forums, see here the proof

  • I think in15 nov 2014...

  • No need to be AMOLED screen,the running color OS has make the screen look more details ,clear and increase the sharpness without AMOLED.

  • thought it was AMOLED ..

  • TRUE respect to this specification aswsome

  • Oppo always has something to suprise us up in their sleeves and with N3, they have proved that they are the new Merlin in the Mobile world. PS.Awaiting to buy this phone. From India.

  • Eagerly waiting for this. can some one suggest when it will be available in India???

  • Remote controller for the rotating camera looks awesome. That is a feature that you actually will use. Good work Oppo!!

  • Oppo is trying to innovate but really needs some people with market savvy too. For one this phone is too tall, taller than even Samsung Note 4! I think a more compact 150mm tall phone with 5inch screen would have been better and more manageable. Also then the introductory price is just much.Motorisation of the cam, seems a sales gimmick. Pricing of some thing around CNY 3k would have been more palatable.

  • that is because of the LTE. the frequency doesn't supports it.

  • I need it how can I get it in Tanzania East Africa

  • Too bad there's no official representative of oppo in Qatar. This is a monster phone, in a good way! Congrats to oppo

  • Awesome mobile.

  • This phone not worth $650, since is outdated hardware except the camera feature.

  • it doesn't have radio? why? how sad?its different but it must have all the feature of other for this to buy even more :) i want it though :)

  • because rotating a camera manually is too hard to do, and "better" panoramic photography experience is reasonable to have higher price tag.

  • awesome specs

  • What kind of phone it is..... Oppo is something different....
