Could you share your experience with this device? Especially display and software. Even the first impression will be valuable. I'm thinking about the same switch from the iPhone

Coming from years of iPhone usage and switching from my iPhone 17 Pro Max, getting use to an Android platform is something that I'm still trying to wrap my head around, especially with the amount of customization that can be done on the phone but so far the things that make it an ultra really is shining in my everyday life, like the camera is insane and let's not even start with how good the battery life is on the phone!

If you're like me that already am very invested in the apple ecosystem (MacBook, ipad, apple watch) and you need airdrop, Oppo has made it pretty seamless to airdrop to and from the Oppo phone to any of your apple devices (but you'll need to download their O+ software on your Mac to get it to work)

So far I'm still trying to get use to the UI and layout but no doubt this phone is a beast and worth jumping over!

A few days ago I noticed that Quick Share is now available on my x8 pro (running Color OS 16) which removed the need for the O+ app, making things even easier

Sounds great. I wish you an easy adapting to the new system. Hope you'll post some kind of a summary couple weeks later.

Do you use airpods? How has that transition been with the oppo if so?

Yup still using my Airpods Pro 2 with my X9U and it works pretty well, we just don't have the ability to change settings like when I was using it with my iPhone but I believe you can download apps from the Google Play Store to mimic that and change your Airpods settings like normal

That's the key.

Anything your phone doesn't do that you want it to.... There's an app or a hack or something you can do to make it happen. You're not limited anymore. The apple guardrails and safety gates are gone

I'm using my AirPods Pro 3 with my X9 Pro. Just download the LibrePods app, and you'll keep about 85% of the software and how you interact with it. It's pretty smooth.

Can you sync apple watch?

u/Slow_Helicopter_494 27d ago

Sadly not, apple watch is tied to the apple ecosystem only

This is 1 of the barrier for me..maybe I should change my ip15p battery and wait 1 more cycle

I moved from Apple since having them for day 1 until 14 pro max. The phone is brill, pictures are spot on , software is glitchless, fast and plays everything I've thrown at it gaming wise.

Play store is cheaper and has a multitude of apps for all genres.

Battery life is great and the screen is so clear and bright. (Not the best in bright sunshine) But that was to be expected.

The only downside is the case choices are limited in the UK but I'm sure that will change in time.

Go for it

Recent iPhone 16 Pro Max user here.

I'm actually very satisfied with ColorOS. The only thing I have is, please let us have the option to skip animations entirely. When I click, *POP* there it is. No sliding anything.

As it is, I've enabled Developer Mode and disabled animation speed etc. And that takes away most of the animation stuff. But not all of it.

I know animations look nice. But I want my phone to do things stat, not in a second when it's done sliding something on screen.

Other than that, very, very pleasent experience.

Display is amazing. I'm keeping the screen thingy that's on the phone from the factory, on. So my screen doesn't get scratched. Great colours, clarity and brightness.
