OPPO R819 Pro Reviews

The Oppo R819 measures up very favorably against such competition, especially when you take into account that none of these can limbo as low as 7.3mm slim and 110g of weight. The only remaining issue is one of availability - the Oppo R819 is on pre-order in Europe, the US, Australia, Hong Kong and Japan, which is much wider than we originally expected. This gives the Oppo R819 a fighting chance, it's an excellent dual-SIM phone with midrange specs. We just wish Oppo had brought in the designer who did the Find 5.

Dual SIM handsets seemed as an afterthought until recently, that's why we are glad the Oppo R819 finally delivers this functionality in a well-designed midranger with good specs and acceptable performance. It sports compact chassis, good call quality, very bright HD display and fine camera, all for about $350 unsubsidized. There aren't major gripes with the handset, and there's hardly a match in the dual SIM universe for its specs and price, save for the version of Huawei Ascend P6 with two SIM cards. That same handset is Oppo's phone main competitor, as it features svelte, premium design for a tad higher price, but its camera quality is inferior. We can also chalk off the LG Optimus F7 as a direct competitor if you find no need for a second SIM slot, as it has similar specs and price, albeit with a larger battery. The Sony Xperia ZR can also be put forth, though it will run you more and doesn't come with such a thin compact design. All in all, if you are looking for an affordable Android midranger with dual SIM abilities, the Oppo R819 is hard to beat right now.
