Great phones from 89 bucks! Is the era of the $1000+ smartphone over?

Great phones from $69

OPPO

OPPO are also newcomers arriving in Australia in 2014. OPPO (pronounced Oh-Po) is a force to be reckoned with. Its trademark is the ‘cameraphone‘ and what it does for the price is impressive.

It has the entry-level A-series (under $300), mid-range R-series (under $800) and its new Find X (OPPO  GadgetGuy)  flagship with a pop-up camera and nearly 100% screen space. That is $1099 and not part of this overview.

GadgetGuy’s pick here is all about ‘moving goalposts’. OPPO launches new models every six months. One day its R9/Plus, R11s/Plus and now R15 Pro is fantastic value. Offering the best in class camera, generous memory, AMOLED screens the R15 Pro is the pick of the litter. But the A73 at $299 provides way above that value too.
