How are reviewers getting this phone so early?
Also I'd actually be very interested to see how the kernel works compared to the XZ2 and XZPREMIUM.
Little known fact, the XZPREMIUM has a third display mode: 1080p 120Hz. I will be very interested if the XZ2PREMIUM will have a feature like this hidden somewhere too. Unfortunately it was unstable in testing on XZPREMIUM, maybe it could be great platform to work on with the XZ2PREMIUM

The design is nice. I am having a nice feeling when it's on my hand. The fingerprint sensor is marvelously fast. A camera.
But the lacking of options when compared with its predecessor such as the double tap to wake is very frustrating. You buy a the latest flagship expecting it to have all the feature of the previous line and suddenly it's not there. Damn

I really love my XZ2 Premium.
Great screen, great battery life, not bloated with ware, expand disk by sd-card, and the camera in black and white is sublime.
It's 2023 and I have just bought another one, demo unit but like brand new one.
I really, really love this phone. It has its' weaknesses, but nothing really serious. Each phone has them. But the display form factor, camera quality (still great!) and overall impression is unbeatable for me. I've already tried different other flagships (from Samsung - I have Galaxy S10+ and from Huawei - Mate 40 Pro) but I decided to go back to XZ2 Premium. Real love ;-)

Very poor as of now. Hope the situation improves soon
I use this phone for graphic designing & klwp interface creation. + video editing and gaming.
I've been using nova launcher and klwp on my phone. It handles all and any task I throw at it without any issues. Great phone...
The hardware is Ok i guess. But One UI...... isn't ok at all... below is my Play store comment which i left for Samsung One UI (1 star obviously):
_____________________
Really slow compared to Huawei's EMUI launcher or any other. I expected One UI to run much smoother and faster. Slow when searching from home (searching anything); even inside the phone settings, let's say I type any keyword, the loading circle spins at least 3 times before the first result shows up (in EMUI, AOSP, Microsoft launchers everything is fast and instant). If you swipe down at Homescreen, keyboard doesn't display automatically. All in all experience, very laggy. I hate it.
______________
which is why im waiting for some stable and official Lineage Rom.... I simply cant stand the software part.
Strenght is weak now :/ ... seems A70 is quite difficult device to work with and probably there is no big chance to get better --- without device seeding program like Xiaomi do on XDA .

I'm pretty impressed, for the price. The specs were above & beyond anything else at this price point that I could find, & so far since I bought it, it hasn't skipped a beat. I'll definitely be considering another Oppo next time I'm in the market for a phone, whether it be for my partner, or myself when it comes time to upgrade.
Very impressed with the hardware so far, everything is very snappy and quick, it also comes with very good audio and optical equipment, a lot of potential that unfortunately cannot be used to its fullest because of OPPO's crackdown on 3rd party development for there phones, all fastboot binaries are competently absent and the bootloader is fully locked meaning custom recoveries and custom operating systems are not possible as of 2020 January.
Very nice phone.But its sad this phone does not recieve coloros 6.1
I dont like digital well being and prefer built in battery stats,like sot,app usage and that stuff
Nice premium design. Like that the rear cameras do not protrude on the back. Great screen. Better than the typical midrange amoled screen. It is snappy but not as fast and fluid as flagships from Xiaomi or OnePlus. The rear camera is good but not great. The speaker is very loud. All in all, nice phone.
eu version
awesome phone for the price very fluid when i read about it that it has p90 but then i buy one im shocked how well it is , great smartphone

<3 the phone, but the dev scene for it (& other Oppo phones) is dismal
I love this phone so far, but the dev scene for it (& for a lot of the Oppo range) is pretty sad, from what I've noticed.
Great phone,i love the ui from coloros6.But there is no to none third party development
Since I have had this phone, I have not seen a slice of 3rd party development, and that is due to the fact that the sources have not been released. On the verge of considering putting it aside as a spare phone and acquiring another phone that is rootable. There were too many things I depended on that required root.
Pretty much 0 development can be done due to the bootloader being completely locked and no fastboot binaries.
